简要总结

Patients with documented diagnosis of schizophrenia according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) criteria, newly diagnosed acute schizophrenia or acute relapse of schizophrenia episodes prior to screening will be screened (visit 1) within 2 weeks prior to their randomization. The eligible patients will then be randomized to either of the 2 study groups as per their randomization number on randomization visit (visit 2, day 1). After randomization, patients will then be followed up on an outpatient basis with scheduled visits at week 1 (visit 3), week 2 (visit 4), week 3 (visit 5), week 4 (visit 6), week 6 (visit 7 - end of the treatment visit) and week 7 (visit 8 - end of the study. This will be a parallel group study and all the enrolled patients will be instructed to take the study drugs as per the prescribed regimen for a treatment period of 6 weeks.
