Overview
Brief Summary
To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), tolerability, and safety of brexpiprazole QW formulation administered as single and multiple doses in patients with schizophrenia.
Detailed Description
A multi-center, open-label clinical pharmacology trial to investigate the PK, tolerability, and safety of brexpiprazole QW formulation administered as single and multiple doses. The trial comprises the single-dose period (Cohort 1) and the multiple-dose period (Cohort 2). The dose used in the multiple-dose period (Cohort 2) will be determined based on plasma drug concentrations obtained in the single-dose period (Cohort 1).
