Participant Flow

The study recruited participants from the community between June and December 2019. Participants were on a stable dose of 5 mg or 6 mg of oral risperidone daily; any daily or twice daily dosing combination was acceptable.

After providing informed consent potential participants were screened, and after eligibility was confirmed, participants were stabilized on 6 mg daily of oral risperidone (3 mg administered twice a day \[BID\] approximately 12 hours apart) for 5 days. After completion of the stabilization period, participants were eligible to receive 180 mg PERSERIS (subcutaneous risperidone), administered as two 90 mg SC injections every 28 days.

Vital sign measurement was performed, including orthostatic blood pressure, and clinically significant changes were reported as adverse events (AE). Vital sign measurement also included measurement of pulse rate, oral temperature and respiratory rate. Determination of whether the changes were AEs was made by the investigator or a medically qualified designee. If determined to be an AE, the measurement was repeated at appropriate intervals until the value returned to an acceptable range and the subject was clinically stable, a specific diagnosis was established, or the condition otherwise explained.

Timeframe: Time subjects sign the informed consent form throughout the study until end of study (EOS) visit (Day 113)

Laboratory testing was performed by the local clinical laboratory accredited by the College of American Pathologists, and clinically significant changes from baseline were reported as AEs. Subjects were expected to fast for a minimum of 8 hours prior to blood draws for all laboratory assessments except at the screening visit. Prior to entering the study, any abnormal laboratory test results were to be considered not clinically significant. Any abnormal hematology, serum chemistry or urinalysis test result after study drug intake that was determined by the investigator or a medically qualified designee to be clinically significant was reported as an AE. If determined to be an AE, the measurement was repeated at appropriate intervals until the value returned to an acceptable range or it was determined that resolution was not expected.

Timeframe: Time subjects sign the informed consent form throughout the study until EOS (Day 113)

Population: There were no clinically important differences in mean scores across study visits. TEAEs related to EPS are reported below

Safety of treatment was measured by administration of symptom questionnaires including AIMS, Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS) and Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS), as well as by assessment by the investigator or suitably qualified medical designee. The AIMS is a tool that aids in early detection and ongoing monitoring of tardive dyskinesia, a movement disorder. The BARS is a 4-item scale that detects the presence and severity of any drug-induced restlessness. The SAS is a 10-item scale used to detect the presence of drug-induced Parkinsonism (movement disorder seen in Parkinson's disease) and extrapyramidal side effects and evaluates symptom severity. Extrapyramidal symptoms include involuntary or uncontrollable movements, tremors, and muscle contractions.

Population: PANSS total scores change from baseline measure from baseline through Day 113 for those participants with results reported

Clinical outcome (efficacy endpoint) as measured by change from baseline in PANSS scores was measured. PANSS is a medical scale designed to measure schizophrenia symptom severity utilizing a 30 item, 7-point rating scheme. The PANSS Is scored by a summation of ratings across items, with a total potential range of 7-210; higher results indicate greater severity of illness. Only total score changes from baseline are reported here.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Screening through EOS (Day 113)

Population: Only actual number of participants assessed at visit was reported. Only change in suicidal behavior from baseline at Dose 1/Day 8 (first measure after baseline) and EOS is reported as all numbers are zero.

Significant changes from baseline in C-SSRS scores were reported as adverse events. The C-SSRS is based on a categorization of thoughts and behavior that are identified as related to suicidal behavior. The scale captures the occurrence, severity and frequency of suicide related thoughts and behaviors throughout lifetime at screening and for the time interval since last administration during a study. Responses are indicated as yes (thought or behavior did occur) or no (thought or behavior did not occur). If a yes response is received, then follow up questions are asked. The outcome of the C-SSRS is a numerical score obtained from each of the categories. Scores can range from 0-25, indicating the intensity rating, and any score greater than 0 may indicate the need for mental health intervention. Higher scores indicate greater intensity (i.e. worse outcome).

Timeframe: Screening through EOS (Day 113)

Population: Only actual number of participants assessed at visit was reported. Only results for lifetime, past 6 months and EOS are reported as all responses are 'no' after lifetime.

Safety of treatment was measured by characterization of thoughts and behavior related to suicidal behavior. This was assessed by administration of the C-SSRS at designated visits. The scale captures the occurrence, severity and frequency of suicide related thoughts and behaviours throughout lifetime at screening and for the time interval since last administration during a study. Questions solicit the type of information needed to determine if a suicide-related thought or behavior occurred.
