Asenapine

Participants received asenapine as a fast-dissolving sublingual (SL) tablet, given twice daily (BID). On Day 1, participants received asenapine 5 mg, BID. On Days 2 to 84, asenapine was dosed flexibly: BID at either 5 or 10 mg. Asenapine doses were up- or down-titrated based on efficacy, safety, and tolerability.
