What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in PANSS Total Score From Baseline at Week 6

    The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) is an interview-based measure of the severity of psychopathology in adults with psychotic disorders. The measure is comprised of 30 items and 3 subscales: the Positive subscale assesses hallucinations, delusions, and related symptoms; the Negative subscale assesses emotional withdrawal, lack of motivation, and similar symptoms; and the General Psychopathology subscale addresses other symptoms such as anxiety, somatic concern, and disorientation. An anchored Likert scale from 1 - 7, where values of 2 and above indicate the presence of progressively more severe symptoms, is used to score each item. Individual items are then summed to determine scores for the 3 subscales, as well as a total score. The PANSS total score is the sum of all 30 items and ranges from 30 through 210. A higher score is associated with greater illness severity.

    Time frame: Week 6

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Subjects Who Achieve a Response, Defined as 20% or Greater Improvement From Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score at Week 6

    The PANSS is an interview-based measure of the severity of psychopathology in adults with psychotic disorders. The measure is comprised of 30 items and 3 subscales: the Positive subscale assesses hallucinations, delusions, and related symptoms; the Negative subscale assesses emotional withdrawal, lack of motivation, and similar symptoms; and the General Psychopathology subscale addresses other symptoms such as anxiety, somatic concern, and disorientation. An anchored Likert scale from 1 7, where values of 2 and above indicate the presence of progressively more severe symptoms, is used to score each item. Individual items are then summed to determine a total score. The PANSS total score is the sum of all 30 items and ranges from 30 through 210. A higher score is associated with greater illness severity. The Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) endpoint is defined as the last data captured on Day 1 through 7 days after the final application of DSP-5423P.

    Time frame: Week 6 (LOCF)

  2. Treatment Continuation Rate at 28 Weeks and 52 Weeks

    Percentage of subjects who stay the study up to 28 weeks (196 days, all countries), and 52 weeks (364 days, in Japan) and its 95% confidence interval.
