Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Intramuscular Levosulpiride in the treatment of Chinese patients with Agitation Of Schizophrenia compared with Intramuscular Haloperidol by evaluating the change of PANSS-EC total scores at end of study (72 hours after first dosing) from baseline.

Detailed Description

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

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To evaluate the change of Agitation Calmness Evaluation Scale(ACES), Clinical Global Impression(CGI, including CGI-S and CGI-I),PANSS total scores,Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale(BPRS) total scores and every item of PANSS-EC from baseline to the end of study (Time Frame: 72 hours) \[ Designated as safety issue: No \]

To evaluate the change of patients' main complain, physical examination, lab and ECG tests, AE、Rating Scale for Extrapyramidal Side Effect(RSESE) and Barnes Akathisia Scale(BAS)from baseline to the end of study (Time Frame: 72 hours) \[ Designated as safety issue: Yes \]
