Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)up to 24 weeks

To assess the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of aripiprazole and its primary metabolite OPC-14857 after administration of the fifth IMD dose.

AUC672hup to 24 weeks

To assess the time of maximum observed plasma concentration (tmax) of aripiprazole and its primary metabolite OPC-14857 after administration of the fifth IMD dose.

Apparent clearance after extravascular administrationup to 24 weeks

To assess the apparent clearance after extravascular administration (CL/F) of aripiprazole after administration of the fifth IMD dose.

time of maximum observed plasma concentration (tmax)up to 24 week

To assess the time of maximum observed plasma concentration (tmax) of aripiprazole and its primary metabolite OPC-14857 after administration of the fifth IMD dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Adverse Eventsup to 24 weeks

Adverse events will be examined by frequency, severity, seriousness, discontinuation, and relationship to treatment

Vital Signsup to 24 weeks

Mean change from baseline and the incidence of potentially clinically relevant abnormal values will be calculated for vital signs

Laboratory Examinationup to 24 weeks

Mean change from baseline and the incidence of potentially clinically relevant abnormal values will be calculated for routine laboratory tests (including prolactin)
