结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline (Week 3) to Week 15 in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Marder Negative Factors Score
时间窗: Baseline (Week 3); Week 15
The PANSS is a validated clinical scale used as a reliable and valid measure of the negative and positive symptom of schizophrenia. PANSS consists of three subscales: a total of 30 disparate items. Each item's severity was rated on a 7-point scale, with a score of 1 (absence of symptoms) and a score of 7 (extremely severe symptoms). The PANSS marder negative factors score is comprised of the following 7 items of the 30-item PANSS: blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, poor rapport, passive/apathetic social withdrawal, lack of spontaneity and flow of conversation, motor retardation and active social avoidance. The PANSS Negative Subscale ranges from 7 (absence of symptoms) to 49 (extremely severe symptoms). PANSS total score range is 30 to 210, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. Negative change from baseline indicates improvement. Baseline is defined as the end of the placebo run-in period (Week 3), and to be the last assessment prior to the first dose of study drug.
