Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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 to Last Treatment Visit in Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) Scores
Time Frame: Up to 7 months
The CGI-S is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how mentally ill the patient is in a specific point in time. Results indicate participants evaluated at one of the following categories: "1: normal, not at all ill"; "2: borderline mentally ill"; "3: mildly ill"; "4: moderately ill"; "5: markedly ill"; "6: severely ill"; and "7: among the most extremely ill patients". Results indicate a change in CGI-S score from baseline to last visit in the treatment period based on the observed data.
Up to 7 months

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 to Last Treatment Visit in Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) Scores
Time Frame: Up to 7 months
The BPRS is an instrument for evaluating change in psychopathology in patients with schizophrenia. It consists of 18 items in which clinicians rate patient symptoms on a 7-point scale (1=not present, 7=extremely severe). Scores range from 18 to 126, with higher scores indicative of more severe psychopathology).
Up to 7 months
Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Time Frame: Up to 7 months
Up to 7 months
Daily and Social Functioning Will be Measured Using the Heinrichs-Carpenter Quality of Life Scale (QLS)
Time Frame: Up to 7 months
The QLS is a clinician-rated scale that is used to assess health-related quality of life and functioning in patients with schizoprehnia during the preceding 4 weeks. The QLS consists of 21 items in 4 major domains (Intrapsychic Foundations, Interpersonal Relations, Instrumental Role, and Common Objects and Activities). Following a semi-structured interview, each item is rated on a 7-point scale, from 0 (severe impairment) to 6 (normal or unimpaired functioning).
Up to 7 months
Characterization of Healthcare Burden Will be Measured Using the Treatment Services Review, Version 6-Modified for Mental Health (mTSR-6)
Time Frame: Up to 7 months
Responses to 4 mTSR-6 questions have been provided. Results include the number of participants who responded positively to the category during the entire post-baseline treatment period.
Up to 7 months
Characterization of Family Burden Will be Measured Using the Burden Assessment Scale (BAS)
Time Frame: Up to 7 months
The BAS is a 19-item scale completed by the caregiver that focuses on specific subjective and objective consequences of families caring for individuals with severe mental disorders. Respondents are required to indicate whether they have experienced each of the types of burden - 'Not at all', 'A little', 'Some' or "A lot' - in the previous four weeks. These are scored 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The total score ranges between 19 and 76. A higher score indicates more perceived burden. Subjects required a reliable informant (caregiver) in order to participate in the study. These caregivers did not receive study treatment, and they are not represented elsewhere in the results data. The data provided indicates the change from baseline to the last treatment visit.
Up to 7 months
