What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Composite Score of CSSB Following Dosing With GSK239512
Time Frame: Baseline and up to Week 7
The CSSB is a computerized battery with following domains (score range): Verbal memory (0-75), working memory (0-28), motor speed (0-100), verbal fluency, attention and speed of information processing (0-110) and executive functions with higher score representing better performance. Two Baseline CSSB testing were conducted; the first on the day prior to commencing dosing (Day -1) and the other test pre-dose on Day 1: the average of the two tests was used as Baseline. Change from Baseline was calculated as score at a given time minus score at Baseline. For each individual task from the CSSB, the Baseline was calculated as the mean of the second screening assessment and the Day 1 pre-dose assessment. A composite score was calculated by averaging all the measures, and then calculating a z-score of the composite. Higher the composite score, better is the performance. Z-score is the measure of standard deviation away from the mean score.
Baseline and up to Week 7

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Composite Score of Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS) Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) at Week 7
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 7
MCCB measures functioning across various cognitive domains and is comprised of ten tests that assess seven cognitive domains (speed of processing, attention/vigilance, working memory, verbal learning, visual learning, reasoning and problem solving, and social cognition). Its measurements are based on timed paper-and-pencil, computerized, and orally-administered tests, as well as spatial tests using geometric cubes. MCCB composite T scores are between 40 and 60 (normal range) and < 40 (below normal range). Higher scores indicate better performance. The Baseline was calculated as the mean of the second screening assessment and the Day 1 pre-dose assessment. If either measurement meant to be used in the mean was missing, then the Baseline value was the non-missing assessment. If both were missing, then Baseline was considered missing and the task was excluded from the analysis. Change from Baseline was calculated as score at a given time post Baseline minus score at Baseline.
Baseline and Week 7
Change From Baseline in Individual Cognitive Domain Scores in CSSB at Week 7
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 7
The CSSB is a computerized battery with following domains (score range): Verbal memory (0-75), working memory (0-28), motor speed (0-100), verbal fluency, attention and speed of information processing (0-110) and executive functions with higher score representing better performance. Two Baseline CSSB testing were conducted; the first on the day prior to commencing dosing (Day -1) and the other test pre-dose on Day 1: the average of the two tests was used as Baseline. Change from Baseline was calculated as score at a given time minus score at Baseline. For each individual task from the CSSB, the Baseline was calculated as the mean of the second screening assessment and the Day 1 pre-dose assessment. A composite score was calculated by averaging all the measures, and then calculating a z-score of the composite. Higher the composite score, better is the performance. Z-score is the measure of standard deviation away from the mean score.
Baseline and Week 7
Change From Baseline in Individual Cognitive Domain Scores in MCCB at Week 7
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 7
MCCB measures functioning across various cognitive domains and is comprised of ten tests that assess seven cognitive domains (speed of processing, attention/vigilance, working memory, verbal learning, visual learning, reasoning and problem solving, and social cognition) Its measurements are based on timed paper-and-pencil, computerized, and orally-administered tests, as well as spatial tests using geometric cubes. MCCB composite T scores are between 40 and 60 (normal range) and < 40 (below normal range). Higher scores indicate better performance. The Baseline was calculated as the mean of the second screening assessment and the Day 1 pre-dose assessment. If either measurement meant to be used in the mean was missing, then the Baseline value was the non-missing assessment. If both were missing, then Baseline was considered missing and the task was excluded from the analysis. Change from Baseline was calculated as score at a given time post Baseline minus score at Baseline.
Baseline and Week 7
Change From Baseline in Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) at Week 7
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 7
BPRS is the clinician rating of psychiatric symptoms; higher score indicates higher severity; 18-items scored 1-7; lower score is 18 and highest score is 126. The Baseline was calculated as the mean of the second screening assessment and the Day 1 pre-dose assessment. If either measurement meant to be used in the mean was missing, then the Baseline value was the non-missing assessment. If both were missing, then Baseline was considered missing and the task was excluded from the analysis. Change from Baseline was calculated as score at a given time post Baseline minus score at Baseline.
Baseline and Week 7
Change From Baseline in Schedule for Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) at Week 7
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 7
The SANS was a tool used to assess five symptom complexes to obtain clinical ratings of negative symptoms in par. with schizophrenia. Complexes include: affective blunting; alogia (impoverished thinking); avolition/apathy; anhedonia/asociality; and disturbance of attention. Assessment was conducted on six-point scale (0=not at all to 5=severe) for a total scoring range of 0-120. Lower scores represent better performance. The Baseline was calculated as the mean of the second screening assessment and the Day 1 pre-dose assessment. If either measurement meant to be used in the mean was missing, then the Baseline value was the non-missing assessment. If both were missing, then Baseline was considered missing and the task was excluded from the analysis. Change from Baseline was calculated as score at a given time post Baseline minus score at Baseline.
Baseline and Week 7
Change From Baseline in University of California and San Diego (UCSD) Performance Based Skills Assessment (UPSA) at Week 7
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 7
The UPSA is a measure of Functional Capacity and assesses skills involved in community tasks. It is composed of five subdomains- comprehension and planning, finance, communication, mobility and house management. When combined, measures functional capacity. The comprehension and planning ranges from 0 to 14, the finance ranges from 0 to 11, the communication ranges from 0 to 12, the mobility ranges from 0 to 9, and the house management ranges from 0 to 4. Then a medication management score of 0 to 37 is added. In total, the Assessment is thus scored on a 0 to 87 scale, with higher scores indicating better performance. The Baseline was calculated as the mean of the second screening assessment and the Day 1 pre-dose assessment. If either was missing, then the Baseline value was the non-missing assessment. If both were missing, then Baseline was considered missing and the task was excluded from the analysis. Change from Baseline was score at a given time post Baseline minus Baseline score
Baseline and Week 7
Number of Participants With Any Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: Up to Day 59
AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. SAE is any untoward event resulting in death, life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect or any other situation according to medical or scientific judgment.
Up to Day 59
Number of Par. With Most Severe On-treatment Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings
Time Frame: Up to Day 59
