Change From Baseline to Week 4 in the PANSS Total Score Primary · Baseline to Day 28 (4 weeks)

The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) is a scale used for measuring symptom severity of patients with schizophrenia. The PANSS rating is composed of 7 positive symptom scales, 7 negative system scales, and 16 general psychopathology symptom scales. Patients are scored from 1 to 7 on each symptom scale. The total score of the PANSS is a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 210. A decrease in PANSS total score correlates with an improvement in schizophrenia symptoms whereas a higher PANSS total value represents a worse outcome

Change From Baseline to Week 4 in the CGI-S Score Secondary · 28 days

The Clinical Global Impressions-Severity (CGI-S) rates illness severity on a scale from 1 to 7 and has been shown to correlate with PANSS. The CGI-S is rated on a 7-point scale commonly used in clinical settings and research to evaluate the severity of symptoms and treatment responses in patients with mental disorders. The CGI-S specifically focuses on the severity of illness at the time of assessment, where clinicians assess the patient's current condition relative to their past. The scoring is for the CGI-S:1-normal, not at all ill, 2-Borderline mentally ill, 3-Mildly ill, 4-Moderately ill,

Sponsor's own description

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center inpatient study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LB-102 in adult patients diagnosed with acutely exacerbated schizophrenia. To determine whether LB-102 administered to patients with acutely exacerbated schizophrenia demonstrates antipsychotic efficacy, as determined by a change from Baseline on the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score, compared to placebo at 28 days. The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate improvement in CGI-S, safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics.
