Interventions
- Drug Lumateperone
Participants will receive lumateperone orally. - Drug Placebo
Participants will receive placebo orally.
Primary outcome measures

Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Change from DB Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score to Week 6 [Time frame: DB Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 6]
- Change from DB Baseline in MADRS Total Score to Week 2 [Time frame: DB Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 2]
- Change from DB Baseline in MADRS Total Score to Week 1 [Time frame: DB Baseline (Day 1) up to Week 1]
