Phase 3 safety and efficacy study of Staccato Loxapine in the treatment of acute agitation in schizophrenic patients

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an in-clinic, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 2 dose levels of Staccato Loxapine, 5 and 10 mg. Patients may receive up to 3 doses of study drug in a 24-hour period, depending on their clinical status. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in the PANSS (Positive and Negative Symptom Scale) Excited Component (also known as PEC) score, performed at 2 hours after the first dose.
