Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether ITI-007 is effective in reducing symptoms associated with schizophrenia in patients who are having an acute worsening of their psychosis. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive one of two doses of ITI-007, placebo, or a positive control. The primary goal will be to assess the effects of ITI-007 on psychosis. The safety of ITI-007 will also be assessed.

Detailed Description

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

The study will be conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and an acute exacerbation of psychosis. The efficacy and safety of two dose levels of ITI-007 administered daily for 28 days will be evaluated as compared to placebo; risperidone has been included as a positive control.

Upon completion of the inpatient 28-day Study Treatment Period, patients will be started on standard antipsychotic medication and will be stabilized over a 5-day period before discharge from the study clinic. Patients will be seen for a final outpatient safety evaluation at the End-of-Study visit approximately 2 weeks after discharge.
