Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)52 Weeks

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation patient administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale Positive Symptoms Subscale (BPRS+)Baseline to 52 Weeks

The BPRS+ is a subset of the BPRS that assesses 4 components of the BPRS+ related to the degree of psychosis: Conceptual Disorganization, Suspiciousness, Hallucinatory Behavior, and Unusual Thought Content assessed by the investigator using a 7-point scale ranging from 1=Not Present to 7=Extremely Severe for a total possible score of 0 (best) to 28 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Change From Baseline in the Clinician Administered Dissociative States Scale (CADSS)Baseline to 52 Weeks

The Clinician Administered Dissociative States Scale (CADSS) is a clinician-administered measure of perceptual, behavioral, and attentional alterations occurring during active dissociative experiences composed of 23 subjective self-reported and 5 objective observer-reported ratings, each scored from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). Only the 23 subjective items will be collected and analyzed. The sum of each of the 23 subjective items was used for a total score of 0-92. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
