Brief Summary

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

This study is being conducted to determine the safety and effect on cognitive function of two different doses of an investigational medication, EVP-6124, in individuals with schizophrenia who are on chronic stable atypical anti-psychotic therapy. In addition, behavioral and psychotic symptoms will be evaluated.

Detailed Description

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

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 safety/efficacy study in which two dose levels of EVP-6124 will be evaluated. Eligible for enrollment will be patients who meet clinical criteria for schizophrenia and who are taking chronic atypical anti-psychotic medication at a stable dose. This study will therefore evaluate the effects of EVP-6124 when administered concomitantly with anti-psychotic medication.

Patients will be randomized to one of the following groups: 0.3 mg or 1.0 mg EVP-6124, or placebo. Seventy-five patients per group. Study drug will be supplied as capsules and will be orally administered once daily for a total of 84 days.
