13.2-point, significant improvement in PANSS total score at 4 weeks1,2

CAPLYTA separated from placebo in 1 week4

Weekly time points prior to 4 weeks were not powered for statistical comparison and are descriptive only. At 1 week, LSM change from baseline in PANSS total score was -4.0 points for CAPLYTA vs -2.6 points for placebo.4

This study was not designed to allow for efficacy comparison of CAPLYTA and risperidone. Risperidone was included for assay sensitivity.1,2

Baseline PANSS Total Scores: CAPLYTA 42 mg: 88.1; risperidone 4 mg: 86.1; placebo: 86.3.1,2

*The PANSS is a 30-item scale used to measure symptoms of schizophrenia. Each item is rated by a clinician on a 7-point scale. A score of 1 indicates the absence of symptoms, and a score of 7 indicates extremely severe symptoms. The PANSS total score may range from 30 to 210, with higher scores reflecting greater overall symptom severity.1

  • Hallucinations
  • Suspiciousness/persecution
  • Emotional withdrawal
  • Passive/apathetic social withdrawal
  • Stereotyped thinking
  • Active social avoidance

Each item is rated by a clinician on a 7-point scale. A score of 1 indicates the absence of symptoms, and a score of 7 indicates extremely severe symptoms. The PANSS total score may range from 30 to 210, with higher scores reflecting greater overall symptom severity.1,5
