Name Time Method Median Time to Discontinuation for Any Reason (Excluding Sponsor Decision) Baseline up to 104 weeks
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in Heinrich-Carpenter Quality of Life in Schizophrenia Scale (QLS) Total Score at 104 Weeks Baseline, 104 weeks Interviewer-rated scale which measures the impact of negative symptoms on occupational, social, and psychological functioning in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Each of 21 items is rated on a scale from 0 (severely impaired functioning) to 6 (normal or adequate functioning). Total score range is 0-126. Least Squares Mean (LS Mean) values were adjusted for investigator and treatment at baseline, and the change values were also adjusted for baseline.
Change From Baseline in 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) at 104 Weeks, All Domains and Summary Scores Baseline, 104 weeks SF-36 Health Status Survey is a generic, health-related scale assessing subjects' quality of life on 8 domains. Domains and scores: general health=5-25; physical functioning=10-30; role-physical=4-8; role-emotional=3-6; social functioning=2-10; bodily pain=2-11; vitality=4-24; mental health=5-30. There are 2 summary scores (mental component summary \[MCS\] and physical component summary \[PCS\]). MCS and PCS scores=0-100 (higher scores indicate better health status). LS Mean values were adjusted for investigator and treatment at baseline; change values were also adjusted for baseline.
Change From Baseline in Overall Health Status Assessment Using the EuroQol: 5 Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D) at 104 Weeks Baseline, 104 weeks Generic, multidimensional, health-related, quality-of-life instrument. Overall health status is self-reported using a visual analogue scale marked on a scale of 0 to 100 with 0 representing worst imaginable health state and 100 representing best imaginable health state. LS Mean values were adjusted for investigator and treatment at baseline; change values were also adjusted for baseline.
Change From Baseline in Burden Assessment Scale (BAS) Total Score at 104 Weeks Baseline, 104 weeks Self-rated scale completed by patient's caregiver which measures level of burden placed on the caregiver by caring for the patient. Each of 19 items is rated on a scale from 0 (no impact) to 3 (high negative impact). Total Score range is 0-57. If any of the 19 questions were answered "not applicable", then a Total Score of 9 was entered. LS Mean values were adjusted for investigator and treatment at baseline, and the change values were also adjusted for baseline.
Resource Utilization: Number of Outpatient Physician Visits During the Study Baseline through 104 weeks Number of outpatient physician visits during the study, post-baseline through 104 weeks.
Resource Utilization: Days of Unpaid Care, Days of Workdays Missed, Days of Paid Care Per Week During the Study Baseline through 104 weeks Number of days of unpaid care, number of days of workdays missed, number of days of paid care per week during the study, post-baseline through 104 weeks.

Change From Baseline in Scale to Assess Unawareness of Mental Disorder (SUMD) Total Score at 104 Weeks Baseline, 104 weeks Interviewer-rated scale that assesses patients' awareness of and insight into their illness. SUMD can either be based on 4 items or 5 items. Items 1 through 4 are rated from 1 (aware) to 5 (unaware); item 5 assesses correct attribution of symptoms to a mental disorder and is rated from 1 (symptoms correctly attributed) to 5 (symptoms incorrectly attributed). Total Scores for Items (1-4) range from 4 to 20 and Total Scores for Items (1-5) range from 5 to 25. LS Mean values were adjusted for investigator and treatment at baseline, and the change values were also adjusted for baseline.
Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Weight Gain at 104 Weeks Baseline, 104 weeks PCS weight gain is defined as a \>=7% increase in weight from baseline at 104 weeks.
Change From Baseline in Working Alliance Inventory (WAI) Total Score at 104 Weeks Baseline, 104 weeks Self-rated scale assessing patients' level of alliance with their therapist, including agreement on goals, tasks, and emotional bond. Each of 12 items is rated from 1 ('never') to 7 ('always'), with higher scores indicating greater alliance. Total Scores range from 12-84. LS Mean values were adjusted for investigator and treatment at baseline, and the change values were also adjusted for baseline.
Change From Baseline in Schizophrenia Objective Functioning Instrument (SOFI) Global Score at 104 Weeks Baseline, 104 weeks Interviewer-rated 49-item scale used to assess 4 functional domains in patients with schizophrenia : 1) living situation, 2) instrumental activities of daily living, 3) productive activities and role functioning, and 4) social/recreational functioning. Possible responses and scoring vary by item and by domain, with higher scores representing better functioning. Range of possible scores is 1-100. LS Mean values were adjusted for investigator and treatment at baseline, and the change values were also adjusted for baseline.
Patient Satisfaction With Medication Questionnaire-Modified (PSMQ) at 104 Weeks (All Items) 104 weeks Self-rated scale which measures patient's level of satisfaction with current antipsychotic medication. Consists of 3 items assessing satisfaction with current study medication (scored from 1-'very dissatisfied' to 5-'very satisfied'), preference comparing current study medication versus previous medications (scored from 1-'much prefer previous medication' to 5-'much prefer study medication'), and side effects of current study medication compared with previous medications (scored from 1-'much less side effects' to 5-'much more side effects'). Range of possible scores is 3-15.
Patient Attitude Toward Treatment Using the Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI) Scale Total Score at 104 Weeks 104 weeks Self-rated scale which measures patient's subjective feelings about taking medications. Each of 10 items is rated as true or false. For items 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 10, true is scored as 1; false is scored as 0. For items 2, 5, and 8, true is scored as 0; false is scored as 1. Possible total scores range from 0-10. A subject who answers all 10 questions false will have a score of 3; a subject who answers all 10 questions true will have a score of 7. For 7 out of 10 questions, false is represented by 0, the other 3 questions false is represented by a value=1.
Number of Participants With All-Cause Discontinuations (Excluding Sponsor Decision) Baseline through 104 weeks Number of participants who discontinued study participation for any reason (excluding sponsor decision).
Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness (CGI-S) Scale Scores at 104 Weeks Baseline, 104 weeks Measures severity of illness at the time of assessment compared with start of treatment. Scores range from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).
Change From Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total and Subscale Scores at 104 Weeks Baseline, 104 weeks Assesses the positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and general psychopathology specifically associated with schizophrenia. The scale consists of 30 items. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (symptom not present) to 7 (symptoms extremely severe). The sum of the 30 items is defined as the PANSS total score and ranges from 30 to 210.
Median Time to Relapse Baseline to time of relapse (up to 104 weeks) Relapse is defined as any 1 of the following: 1) hospitalization for symptoms related to schizophrenia; 2) increase of 25% from baseline in PANSS total score (range:30-210) (if baseline score was \>40) or increase of 10 points (if baseline score was ≤40), and ≥1-point increase from baseline on CGI-S score (range:1-7), provided that increase results in CGI-S ≥4; 3) deliberate self-injury or injury to others deemed clinically to be associated with worsening of psychosis; 4) discontinuation from the study because of worsening of psychosis. On PANSS and CGI-S higher scores indicate greater illness.
Number of Participants Experiencing Relapse Baseline through 104 weeks Relapse is defined as any one of the following: 1) hospitalization for symptoms related to schizophrenia; 2) an increase of 25% from baseline in the total score on the PANSS (if the baseline score was \>40), or an increase of 10 points (if baseline score was \<=40) and \>=1-point increase from baseline score on the CGI-S score, provided that the increase results in a CGI-S score \>=4; 3) deliberate self-injury or injury to others that is deemed clinically to be associated with worsening of psychosis; 4) discontinuation from the study because of worsening of psychosis.
Change From Baseline in Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) Total Score at 104 Weeks Baseline, 104 weeks BPRS is an 18-item clinician-administered scale used to assess the degree of severity of a subject's general psychopathological symptoms. For this study, the BPRS total score was derived from 18 PANSS questions. To calculate the score, the score of the 18 questions was added then 18 was subtracted from the total. As an example, if a subject had a score=1 (absent) on all 18 items, the resulting total=zero. Responses range from 0 (absent) to 6 (extremely severe); the Total Score range is 0-108.
Resource Utilization: Number of Outpatient Surgeries During the Study, 24 Months After Randomization Baseline through 104 Weeks Number of outpatient surgeries during the study, post-baseline through 104 weeks.
Change From Baseline in Weight at 104 Weeks Baseline, 104 weeks Participants With Normal to High Fasting Glucose, Fasting Total Cholesterol, and Fasting Triglycerides Baseline through 104 weeks Normal to high fasting glucose = \<100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) baseline; \>=126 mg/dL any time post baseline (or endpoint).
