Brief Summary

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

This study will consist of 2 parts: Part Ⅰ-in healthy adult subjects, Part Ⅱ-in adult patients with schizophrenia

Detailed Description

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

Part Ⅰ was designed as single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) of multiple doses of VV119 in Chinese healthy adult subjects.

Part Ⅱ was designed as multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation trial to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy of multiple doses of VV119 in adult patients with schizophrenia.
