This is a randomized, double-blind (DB), placebo-controlled, multicenter study to assess the efficacy and safety of RP5063 (brilaroxazine) at fixed doses of 15 mg or 50 mg, administered once daily (OD) for 28 days (28 days DB treatment) in subjects with an acute exacerbation of schizophrenia. The study further will assess the safety of RP5063 (brilaroxazine) at flexible doses of either 15, 30 or 50 mg administered OD in an Open Label (OL) treatment over a period of 52 weeks (52-week OL treatment part), in subjects with stable schizophrenia. The OL treatment will have 2 populations of stable schizophrenia: DB rollover and de novo subjects.
The study comprises 2 parts: a 28-day DB treatment, followed by 52 weeks OL treatment.
The total duration of the study is 56 weeks (28 days/4 weeks DB treatment and 52-weeks OL treatment).
