Brief Summary

The objectives of this trial are to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of multiple inhaled doses of Staccato Loxapine.

Detailed Description

The purpose of the present Phase 1 study in schizophrenic patients is to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of Staccato Loxapine given within a 24 hour time period. The study will be conducted in schizophrenic patients who are on chronic, stable antipsychotic medication. Patients meeting entry criteria will be randomized to one of three dose sequences of Staccato Loxapine or to Staccato Placebo.
