Brief Summary

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

Lurasidone (lurasidone HCl) is a novel psychotropic agent that is being developed as a potential new antipsychotic treatment for patients with schizophrenia. Switching between antipsychotic medications is common in the treatment of schizophrenia. The current study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of switching clinically stable, but symptomatic outpatients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder from their preswitch antipsychotic medication to lurasidone, over a period of 6 weeks.
