- Number and Percentage of Subjects With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]This measure includes all incidences, including those that occurred >5%.
- Change in Baseline of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score Over Time [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]This scale consists of symptom constructs (7 positive, 7 negative, 16 general psychopathology), each to be rated on a 7-point Likert-type scale of severity with 1 being absent to 7 being extreme. Minimum scores (best outcome) equals 30 (total scale); maximum scores (worst outcome) equals 210 (total scale). Change is calculated between the baseline visit and the subject's last visit in the treatment period.
- Mean Change From Baseline to Endpoint in Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) Over Time [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]The CGI-S is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how mentally ill the patient is in a specific point in time. Results indicate participants evaluated at one of the following categories: "1: normal, not at all ill"; "2: borderline mentally ill"; "3: mildly ill"; "4: moderately ill"; "5: markedly ill"; "6: severely ill"; and "7: among the most extremely ill patients". Results indicate a change in CGI-S score from baseline to Day 365 based on the observed data. Change is calculated between the baseline visit and the subject's last visit in the treatment period.
