Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

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
Mean Change From Baseline at Final Assessment in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score
Time Frame: Basline and Week52
The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) is a 30-item scale where each symptom is rated on a severity scale ranging from 1-7: 1 =Absent, 2 =Minimal, 3 =Mild, 4 =Moderate, 5 =Moderate severe, 6 =Severe, 7= Extreme. PANSS total score is calculated by adding score of 30 items, which ranges from 30-210. Higher scores indicate worse condition.
Basline and Week52

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
Mean Change From Baseline at Final Assessment in Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-S) Score
Time Frame: Basline and Week52
The Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-S) Score is a clinician rated scale which assesses how mentally ill the patient is at the time. Scores range from 0 to 7: 0 = Not assessed, 1= Normal, not at all ill, 2 =Borderline mentally ill, 3= Mildly ill, 4= Moderately ill, 5= Markedly ill, 6= Severely ill, 7= Among the most extremely ill patients. Higher scores indicate worse condition.
Basline and Week52
Mean Change From Baseline at Final Assessment in Children's Global Assessment Score (CGAS)
Time Frame: Baseline and Week52
The Children's Global Assessment Score (CGAS) is a rating scale which measures psychological, social and school functioning for children aged 6-17. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better condition.
Baseline and Week52
