SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at Week 4

Population: Study completers

Absolute Change in PANSS over four weeks (change between baseline and final measurements). The PANSS is a 30-item rating scale widely used in assessment of medication effects in schizophrenia. The PANSS ranges from 30-210, with lower scores showing less symptoms. Larger change is better.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at Week 4

Population: study completers

Change over 4 weeks. The MATRICS is a scale measuring cognition, and reported as T-score, with 50 as the population average and every 10 points representing a change of 1 standard deviation from the population average. Higher scores represent an improvement
