Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impressions - Severity (CGI-S) to End of Treatment (EOT) Secondary · At baseline and at EOT. Up to a maximum of 60.1 weeks.

The change from baseline in the Clinical Global Impressions - Severity score (CGI-S) to end of treatment (EOT), calculated as \[CGI-S EOT\] - \[CGI-S baseline\] is reported. The CGI-S is composed of 1 question rated on a 4-point scale describing the severity of a patient's impairment, where 1 = none, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe.

Sponsor's own description

This study is open to adults with schizophrenia who took part in a previous CONNEX study (study 1346-0011, 1346-0012, or 1346-0013). The purpose of this study is to find out how well people with schizophrenia can tolerate a medicine called Iclepertin in the long term. Participants take Iclepertin as tablets once a day for 1 year. In addition, all participants take their normal medication for schizophrenia. Participants are in the study for a little more than 1 year. During this time, they visit the study site about 13 times and get about 9 phone calls from the study team. The doctors collect information on any health problems of the participants. Doctors also regularly check the participants' symptoms of schizophrenia.
