Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Which Occurred During 30 Days After Last Dose of Study Drug |
SAEs occurring AFTER a participant's last dose of study drug were to be followed for 30 days, regardless of the investigator's opinion of causation. An SAE was any adverse event (AE) that resulted in death, an initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization (other than that required by protocol), a life-threatening experience with the immediate risk of dying, a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, the occurrence of a seizure or seizure-like event, or an event considered significant by the investigator for any reason. SAEs were reported per Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA version 15.1) preferred terms. A summary of serious and all other non-serious AEs reported from Baseline up to Week 6 is located in the Reported Adverse Events module. |

Change From Baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score |
The PANSS scale assessed participants (pts) for positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and general psychopathology specifically associated with schizophrenia. The scale consisted of 30 items. Each item was rated from 1 (absence of symptoms) to 7 (symptoms extremely severe). The sum of the 30 items was defined as the PANSS total score and ranged from 30 to 210. The least squares (LS) mean was estimated using a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included the fixed, categorical effects of treatment, pooled investigative site, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, gender, and predefined subpopulation ('yes/no'), as well as the continuous, fixed covariates of baseline score and baseline score-by-visit interaction. |

Each item was rated from 1 (absence of symptoms) to 7 (symptoms extremely severe). The sum of the 30 items was defined as the PANSS total score and ranged from 30 to 210. The least squares (LS) mean was estimated using a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included the fixed categorical effects of treatment, pooled investigative site, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, and gender, as well as the continuous fixed covariates of baseline score, and baseline score-by-visit interaction. |

Change From Baseline in the Personal and Social Performance (PSP) Score |
The PSP scale was a 100-point, single item scale that assessed 4 domains of functioning (personal and social relationships, socially useful activities, self-care, and disturbing and aggressive behaviors).

Change From Baseline in the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Scale |
The CGI-S was a single item scale that measured severity of illness at the time of assessment. Scores ranged from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill participants). The least squares (LS) mean was estimated using a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included the fixed, categorical effects of treatment, pooled investigative site, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, gender, and predefined subpopulation ('yes/no'), as well as the continuous, fixed covariates of baseline score and baseline score-by-visit interaction. |

The scale contained 16 items and each item was rated from 1 (normal behavior) to 6 (extreme, abnormal behavior). The sum of the 16 items was defined as the NSA-16 total score and ranged from 16 to 96. Higher scores indicated a greater severity of illness. The least squares (LS) mean was estimated using a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included the fixed, categorical effects of treatment, pooled investigative site, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, gender, and predefined subpopulation ('yes/no'), as well as the continuous, fixed covariates of baseline score and baseline score-by-visit interaction. |

Change From Baseline on the European Quality of Life-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) Questionnaire |
The EQ-5D was a generic, multidimensional, health-related, quality-of-life instrument. The overall health state score was self-reported using a visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). The least squares (LS) mean was estimated using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model that included terms for treatment, pooled investigative site, gender, baseline score and predefined subpopulation ('yes/no'). |

Change From Baseline on Schizophrenia Resource Utilization Module (S-RUM): Emergency Room (ER) Visits and Outpatient Visits |
The S-RUM was a 31-item questionnaire to assess the participant's occupation (work and home), living arrangements, encounters with law enforcement, victimization, ER visits, and outpatient medical visits for a specified period of time. Item 1 asked about the number of ER or equivalent facility visits a participant had for psychiatric (psych) illness during the last year [baseline (BL) assessment] or since the last assessment (post-baseline assessment). Item 2 asked about the number of ER or equivalent facility visits a participant had for non-psychiatric (non-psych) illness or injury during the last year (BL assessment) or since the last assessment (post-BL assessment). Item 5 asked about the number of outpatient visits to other physicians (not psychiatrists or dentists) a participant had during the last year (BL assessment) or since the last assessment (post-BL assessment). |

Change From Baseline on Subjective Well-Being Under Neuroleptic Treatment Scale - Short Form (SWN-S) Total Score |
The SWN-S was a self-rated scale that measured subjective well-being for the previous 7 days. The SWN-S consisted of 20 items each rated using a 6-point scale from 1 (not at all) to 6 (very much). The sum of the 20 items was defined as the SWN-S total score and ranged from 20 to 120, with higher scores indicating better subjective well-being. The least squares (LS) mean was estimated using a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included the fixed, categorical effects of treatment, pooled investigative site, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, gender, and predefined subpopulation ('yes/no'), as well as the continuous, fixed covariates of baseline score and baseline score-by-visit interaction. |

The sum of the 10 items was defined as the SAS total score and ranged from 0 to 40. Higher scores indicated a greater severity of illness. The least squares (LS) mean was estimated using a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included the fixed, categorical effects of treatment, pooled investigative site, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, gender, and predefined subpopulation ('yes/no'), as well as the continuous, fixed covariates of baseline score and baseline score-by-visit interaction. |

Change From Baseline in Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scales (AIMS) 1-7 Total Score |
The AIMS was a 12-item scale designed to record the occurrence of abnormal involuntary (dyskinetic) movements. Items 1 to 10 were rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (no dyskinetic movements) to 4 (severe dyskinetic movements). Items 11 and 12 were 'yes/no' questions regarding the dental condition of a participant. The sum of Items 1 through 7 was defined as the AIMS 1-7 total score and ranged from 0 to 28. Higher scores indicated a greater severity of illness. The least squares (LS) mean was estimated using a mixed-effects model with repeated measures (MMRM) that included the fixed, categorical effects of treatment, pooled investigative site, visit, treatment-by-visit interaction, gender, and predefined subpopulation ('yes/no'), as well as the continuous, fixed covariates of baseline score and baseline score-by-visit interaction. |

Percentage of Participants With a Change From Baseline in Suicidal Behaviors and Ideations Measured by the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) |
The C-SSRS captured the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors during the assessment period. Suicidal behavior: a "yes" answer to any 1 of 5 suicidal behavior questions (preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide). Suicidal ideation: a "yes" answer to any 1 of 5 suicidal ideation questions (wish to be dead, and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation). The percentage of participants with treatment-emergent suicidal ideation or behavior (with a change from baseline in C-SSRS) was calculated as the number of participants with an increase in suicidal behavior or ideation over lead-in baseline, divided by the total number of participants multiplied by 100. |
