Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Summary of Schizophrenia
Time Frame: Baseline
Stage, symptoms and type of schizophrenia were recorded in addition to demographic and other clinical history data at the Baseline visit. The primary outcome was to assess the participants profile. Some assessments have been included in the Baseline demographics. This outcome presents results for the Summary of Schizophrenia.
Baseline
Summary of Metabolic Risk Factors
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline
Summary of Most Frequently Used Concomitant Drug Treatments
Time Frame: Baseline
Most frequently concomitant drug treatments used by >15 participants.
Baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Categorical Scores on Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I)
Time Frame: Week 12
CGI-I: 7-point clinician rated scale ranging from 0 (not assessed) to 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), or 3 (minimally improved) on the scale. Higher score = more affected.
Week 12
Number of Participants With Categorical Scores on Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
CGI-S: 7-point clinician rated scale to assess severity of subject's current illness state; range: 0 (not assessed) to 1 (normal - not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). Higher score = more affected. B = Baseline; F = Final Visit (Week 12)
Baseline, Week 12
Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) - Positive Subscale
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
Modified positive subscale: clinician-rated measurement that consists of 30 items, each rated from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme). Positive subscale (ranging from 4 to 28) taking the sum of the following 4 items: P1, delusions; P2, conceptual disorganization; P3, hallucinatory behavior; and P6, suspiciousness/persecution. Higher scores indicated greater severity of symptoms. The positive subscale total was calculated as the sum of the 4 items in the positive subscale.
Baseline, Week 12
PANSS - Negative Subscale
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
Modified negative subscale: assesses negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia. 7 items make up the Negative scale (eg, blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, poor rapport, and passive/apathetic social withdrawal). Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (symptom not present) to 7 (symptoms extremely severe). Total Negative Subscale scores range from 7 to 49. This negative subscale total was calculated as the sum of 4 items in the negative subscale.
Baseline, Week 12
PANSS - Composite Subscale
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
The modified composite subscale total was calculated as the difference of the positive subscale total (7 items; total possible score of 49) and the negative subscale total (7 items; total possible score of 49). Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (symptom not present) to 7 (symptoms extremely severe). The composite subscale total provided an indication of the level of dominance of the symptoms of one subscale over the symptoms of the other subscale. Higher scores indicated greater severity of symptoms.
