What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. time to treatment failure.

    Treatment failure is defined as any occurrence of: Insufficient clinical response Exacerbation of underlying disease Discontinuation due to adverse event

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS) total scores

    " Mean Change from baseline at week 6" in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale total scores.

    The PANSS is an interview-based measure of the severity of psychopathology in adults with psychotic disorders. The measure is comprised of 30 items. An anchored Likert scale from 1-7, where values of 2 and above indicate the presence of progressively more severe symptoms, is used to score each item.The PANSS total score is the sum of all 30 items and ranges from 30 through 210. A higher score is associated with greater illness severity

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) Scale

    " Mean Change from baseline at week 6" in Clinical Global Impression-Improvement.

    The CGI-I Score is a clinician-rated assessment of the subject's overall clinical condition. The CGI-I score obtained at the baseline (initiation) visit serves as a good basis for making this assessment. This subject's condition is: 1=very much improved since the initiation of treatment; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change from baseline (the initiation of treatment); 5=minimally worse; 6= much worse; 7=very much worse since the initiation of treatment.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S)

    " Mean Change from baseline at week 6" in Clinical Global Impression-Severity.

    The CGI-S Score is a clinician-rated assessment of the subject's current illness state on a 7-point scale (1-7), where a higher score is associated with greater illness severity. Following a clinical interview, the CGI-S can be completed in 1-2 minutes.

    Measured: 6 weeks
