  • Blood pressure and pulse at Visits 1, 2, and 5 [ Time Frame: Visits 1 (Screening), 2 (Day 1), and 5 (Day 7) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) scores at Visits 3, 4, and 5 [ Time Frame: Visits 1 (Screening), 2 (Day 1), 3 (Day 1, 2, 3, or 4), 4 (Day 5), and 5 (Day 7) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
