5. Subject must have a CGI-S score ≥ 4 (moderate or greater) at screening and Baseline (Day 1).
6. Subject must have a PANSS total score ≥ 80 and a PANSS item score ≥ 4 (moderate) on 2 or more of the following PANSS items: delusions, conceptual disorganization, hallucinations, and unusual thought content at screening and Baseline (Day 1).

Subjects who have been hospitalized for more than 2 weeks for reasons unrelated to an acute psychotic exacerbation may be included if such a hospitalization was for a condition other than an acute psychotic relapse. For example, subjects in a long-term hospital setting who have an acute exacerbation and are transferred to an acute unit are eligible for the study.
8. Subject has had no more than 2 prior hospitalizations for the treatment of an acute exacerbation of schizophrenia (not including the current hospitalization) This history must be confirmed based on report by a reliable informant (eg., caregiver or family member) or medical records available at the time of screening.
9. Subject's BMI must be at least 18 kg/m2 but no more than 35 kg/m2.
10. Female subject must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening.11. Female subject of reproductive potential agrees to remain abstinent or use adequate and reliable contraception throughout the study and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug has been taken.

In the Investigator's judgment, the subject will adhere to this requirement.
12. Male subjects with female partner(s) of childbearing potential must agree to avoid fathering a child and use highly effective methods of birth control (outlined in Section 21) from screening until at least 30 days after the last study drug administration.

5. Subject has Alcohol or Substance Abuse Disorder (DSM-5 criteria). The only exceptions include caffeine or nicotine.
6.
