Measure
Flexible Dose Latuda©
Lurasidone (Latuda©)dose will be determined solely by the clinician in accordance with the best interests of each participant. Latuda©: All subjects will be started on 20-40mg of Latuda© at night (suggested intake with food). Subsequently, the dose may be increased as clinically indicated and based on tolerability every 7 days by 20-40mg to a maximum of 160mg per day with food which may be given as a single or twice daily dose depending on participant's preference. The maintenance dose will be determined solely by the clinician in accordance with the best interests of each participant.

7 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 12 weeks

Efficacy measures included the Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Community (ABC-C) total score which focuses on problem behaviors in five subdomains, including irritability, attention, repetitive behaviors, unusual speech, and social withdrawal. Differences in subdomains were not assessed. The ABC-C total score is the sum of 58 items, each rated among 0 = Not at all; 1 = Slight in degree; 2 = Moderately serious; and 3 = Severe in degree. The ABC-C total score ranges from 0 to 174. Higher values of ABC-C total scores represent greater severity of illness.
