A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Orally Administered ML-007C-MA in Inpatient Adult Participants With Schizophrenia Experiencing an Acute Exacerbation of Psychosis
ML-007C-MA-211 is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of orally administered ML-007C-MA in inpatient adult participants aged 18 to 64 years with schizophrenia experiencing an acute exacerbation of psychosis. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of ML-007C-MA compared with placebo in the treatment of subjects with inadequately controlled symptoms of schizophrenia as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score.
• Participant has a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia based on the DSM-5 criteria that is confirmed by semi-structured clinical interview (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview for DSM-5).
• Participant may benefit from hospitalization or is currently hospitalized due to an acute exacerbation of schizophrenia symptoms, with exacerbation onset within 2 months of Screening. If the participant is already hospitalized for acute exacerbation of schizophrenia at Screening, they must have been inpatient for less than 2 weeks at the start of Screening.
• At Screening and Baseline, schizophrenia symptoms are at least moderate in severity and persistent, as defined by the PANSS and CGI-S.
• Participant is willing and able to be confined to an inpatient setting for the study duration, follow instructions, and adhere to protocol requirements.
