Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change from baseline to week 12 in negative symptoms, as measured by the NSA-16 total score [ Time Frame: 12 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    NSA-16 = 16-item Negative Symptom Assessment Scale, an efficacy scale used for the primary endpoint


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Response defined as a ≥ 20% decrease in the NSA-16 total score at week 12 [ Time Frame: 12 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    NSA-16 = 16-item Negative Symptom Assessment Scale

  • Change from baseline to week 12 on the PANSS total score and Marder factor scores [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)

  • Change from baseline to week 12 on the CGI-S [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Clinical Global Impression Severity Scale (CGI-S)

  • CGI-I scores at week 12 [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Clinical Global Impression Improvement (CGI-I)

  • Change on cognition battery [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in personal and social functioning [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change on patient reported outcomes [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
