Objectives

PrimaryTo assess the efficacy of XXX-XXXX (90 mg and 120 mg) compared with placebo on the symptoms of schizophrenia over an 8-week treatment period using the change from baseline to end of treatment in the total Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) score, which is the sum of all 30 PANSS items.
