Trial Outcomes & Findings for Lurasidone HCL - A 6-week Phase 3 Study of Patients With Acute Schizophrenia. (NCT NCT00790192)

NCT ID: NCT00790192

Last Updated: 2016-03-17

Results Overview

The PANSS (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale) is a 30-item scale (range 30-210) designed to assess various symptoms of schizophrenia including delusions, grandiosity, blunted affect, poor attention, and poor impulse control. The 30 symptoms are rated on a 7-point scale that ranges from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme psychopathology). The PANSS total score consists of the sum of all 30 PANSS items. Higher scores indicate worsening.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 6

Population: The primary population for the efficacy analysis was the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population. All subjects who were randomized, received at least one dose of study medication, and have a Baseline efficacy measurement and at least one post-Baseline efficacy measurement, were in the efficacy analysis in the treatment group to which they were randomized.

The PANSS (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale) is a 30-item scale (range 30-210) designed to assess various symptoms of schizophrenia including delusions, grandiosity, blunted affect, poor attention, and poor impulse control. The 30 symptoms are rated on a 7-point scale that ranges from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme psychopathology). The PANSS total score consists of the sum of all 30 PANSS items. Higher scores indicate worsening.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6-Weeks

Clinical Global Impression of Severity is a clinician-rated assessment of the subject's current illness state on a 7 point scale, where a higher score is associated with greater illness severity. The scale has a single item measured on a 7 point scale from 1 ('normal', not ill) to 7 (extremely ill).
