Критерии участия

Критерии включения

• Subject and subject's legal representative, if applicable, provided informed consent prior to the initiation of any study related procedures, and the subject is judged by the investigator as being capable of understanding the study requirements.

• Meets the diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth Edition (DSM-5), as established by a full psychiatric interview in conjunction with the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI).
• Has a caregiver or family member or health care personnel (as permitted by local regulations) who can provide information towards assessment and support the subject in terms of compliance with the protocol. The caregiver must have contact with the subject frequently and is not expected to change during the trial.
• Documented diagnosis of schizophrenia for at least 1 year before screening into the trial.
• Is stable in terms of both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia over the last 6 months according to his or her clinician and/or based on documentation in the clinical chart or medical records, and/or based on information from a professional caregiver (where permitted by local regulations) when formal clinician documentation is not available. Subjects with or without positive symptoms are allowed if these symptoms are stable for the last 6 months and the subjects do not meet exclusion criterion 2.
• Is currently an outpatient and has not been hospitalized for the last 6 months for acute exacerbation or symptoms worsening.
• Has had a stable living condition (residence) for the last 6 months.
• Has not been hospitalized within 6 months before Screening. A subject hospitalized for any time period during the last 6 months for social reasons or currently hospitalized for reasons not related to their schizophrenia illness (e.g., has no support system in the community or needs to have eligibility for disability support periodically re-assessed) can be included only with sponsor/CRO's medical monitors approval and after considering the applicable local regulation requirements. The social reasons for admission or residing in a hospital must be documented in the source documents and the electronic case report form (eCRF).
• Has a score of > 20 on the PANSS negative subscale score (\[sum of N1+N2+N3+N4+N5+N6+N7\]) at Screening (Visit 1) and Baseline (Visit 3) AND < 4 points absolute difference between Visits 1 and 3.
• Must discontinue any psychotropic medications by or at the beginning of the washout phase (Day -2). The rate of washout/discontinuation of psychotropic medications during the Screening period should be gradual in order to reduce the risk of psychotropic withdrawal symptoms but remains at the discretion of the investigator.
• Has no history of violence against self or others.
• Female subject, if not of childbearing potential, defined as a woman who is post-menopausal or permanently sterilized (e.g., tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy).
• Female subject, if of childbearing potential, must test negative for pregnancy and must use 2 approved methods of highly effective contraception.
• Must be normal or ultrarapid metabolizer for cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6, defined as having an activity score (AS) of >/= 1.25 as determined by study-specific genotyping test before the first dose of study drug dose is administered.
• Subject and the caregiver are considered by the investigator to be reliable and likely to cooperate with the assessment procedures.

Критерии исключения

A subject with positive Hepatitis B core antibody test and negative Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) may be included in the study if aminotransferase levels (alanine aminotransferase/ serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[ALT/SGPT\] and aspartate aminotransferase/ serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[AST/SGOT\]) do not exceed 2 × ULN.
• Requires or may require concomitant treatment with any other medication likely to increase QT interval (e.g., paroxetine, fluoxetine, duloxetine, amiodarone).
• Requires medication inhibiting CYP2D6.
• Clinically significant ECG abnormality that could be a safety issue in the study, including QT interval value corrected for heart rate using the Fridericia's formula (QTcF) > 430 msec for males and > 450 msec for females.
• Familial or personal history of long QT syndrome or with another risk factor for Torsade de Pointes.
• History of myocardial infarction based on medical history or ECG findings at Screening.
