简要总结
This study is looking to determine if Lumateperone improves motivation in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders who show high levels of apathy as judged by AES-C-Apathy (Apathy Evaluation Scale - Clinician - Apathy) assessment and to examine a possible correlation between improvement in apathy scores and changes in elements of the PANSS (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale) due to treatment with Lumateperone.
