Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase IIb-III Study of BL-1020 Small Molecule for Schizophrenia (NCT NCT01363349)

NCT ID: NCT01363349

Last Updated: 2014-09-18

Results Overview

To evaluate the cognitive benefits of treatment with CYP-1020 (formerly known as BL-1020) compared to risperidone after 6 weeks of treatment in patients experiencing acute exacerbation of schizophrenia. Assessed by calculating difference between CYP-1020 and Risperidone on mean change from baseline to Week 6 endpoint on MATRICS Consensus Cognition Battery (MCCB) normative composite score. MCCB is a neuropsychological test battery that comprises 10 measures of 7 different cognitive areas including speed of processing, verbal learning, memory-verbal and non verbal reasoning and problem solving, visual learning, social cognition, attention/vigilance.The study was terminated after the interim analysis. MCBB total score ranges from -50 to 150. Change from Baseline by Visit (LOCF)Higher score means better cognitive functioning.
