About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Inpatient, Phase 2, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Dose Ranging Study of LY2140023 in Patients With DSM-IV Schizophrenia

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that 1 or more dose levels of LY2140023 given orally to participants with schizophrenia twice daily for 4 weeks will have significantly greater effect than placebo.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that 1 or more dose levels of LY2140023 given orally to patients with schizophrenia twice daily for 4 weeks would demonstrate significantly greater efficacy than placebo. Efficacy was defined as clinical response measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score as assessed at 4 weeks.

This was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo- and active comparator-controlled trial with 4 study periods. Approximately 870 patients who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV, APA 2000) criteria for schizophrenia as defined by the modified Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Diagnosis (SCID) were to be entered into the study so that approximately 550 patients would be considered evaluable (that is, randomized patients with a baseline and at least 1 postbaseline PANSS total score following study treatment). Male and female patients aged 18 to 65 years who qualified for enrollment into the study were randomized in a 2:2:2:2:2:1 ratio to receive 5 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, or 80 mg twice daily LY2140023, placebo twice daily, or placebo once each morning and 15 mg olanzapine once each evening for approximately 28 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LY2140023 and Olanzapine in people with Schizophrenia, run by Denovo Biopharma LLC at 35 sites in 9 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 35 sites in Russia, South Africa, Argentina, Germany, Romania and 4 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score (time frame: over 4 weeks of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00520923, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2026.
