Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Independent Adjudication Committee (IAC) Adjudicated Event of Exacerbation of Disease (EEDS)
Time Frame: Up to 15 months

EEDS was defined as any of the following occurring during the double-blind period & was related to worsening of disease symptoms, as confirmed by the Independent Adjudication Committee (IAC):

  2. >= 25% or >= 15 point increase from randomization in PANSS total score
  3. PANSS items score of P1, P2, P3, P6, P7 or G8 that meets 1 of the following:

3a. Score >= 5 for subjects at a 2nd ad hoc visit with a score <=3 at randomization 3b. Score >= 6 for subjects at a 2nd ad hoc visit with a score =4 at randomization 4. Engagement in self injury, aggressive behavior, or suicidal/homicidal ideation 5. Initiation of rescue medication, including increase in olanzapine dosage initially prescribed at randomization 6. ER visit 7. Subject withdraws or PI discontinues subject for lack of efficacy, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal by subject 8. Arrest or incarceration related to subject's underlying disease

Up to 15 months

Up to 15 months
Number and Percentage of Subjects With at Least 1 Level Decrease in World Health Organization (WHO) Drinking Risk Level From Baseline to Week 24 of the Double-blind Treatment (Study Week 27)
