Summary

This study will look at the impact of dosing as well as ongoing treatment with an investigation medication identified as PF-03654746, on cognitive and physiologic indicators of brain function. Data from this study will assist with the evaluation of the utility of functional magnetic resonance imaging, arterial spin labeling (ASL), and electrophysiologic measures in the detection of early signals of the effectiveness of medications developed to target cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. Safety and tolerability of PF-03654746 in this population will be also be evaluated.

DRUG

PF 03654746

All participants will receive 3 weeks of PF-03654746 and 3 weeks of placebo. PF-03654746 and placebo will be administered in a flexible titration regimen, beginning with 0.5 mg/d. If 0.5 mg/d is well tolerated, the dose will be increased to 1.0 mg/d after 5 days. If 1.0 mg/d is not well tolerated, the dose will be decreased to 0.5 mg/d, with the goal of achieving a stable dose of PF-03654746 within the first two weeks of dosing and avoiding further dose changes during the final week of dosing.

OTHER

Placebo

Placebo will be used as a comparator to the active arm.
