Study summary

This study will determine the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of ALKS 9072 (also known as ALKS 9070) after 4 monthly doses in adults with chronic stable schizophrenia.

Read the detailed description

Three active treatment groups and a placebo group are planned. Randomization will be sequential by dose level across the sites with placebo assignments randomly inserted. Each subject's participation will be approximately 8 months, including screening, treatment period, and a 3-month follow-up period.
