Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) Psychosis Subscale Score at Week 10 in Acute Phase
Description The NPI is a questionnaire that quantifies behavioral changes in dementia. For each of 12 behavioral domains there are 4 scores: Frequency (scale:1=occasionally to 4=very frequently), Severity (scale:1=Mild to 3=Severe), Total (frequency x severity), Caregiver distress (scale: 0=not at all distressing to 5=extremely distressing).The NPI Psychosis Subscale consists of the two domains of Delusions and Hallucinations, calculated by adding the Individual Item Scores, to yield a possible total score of 0 to 24. Lower score=less severity. A negative change score from baseline indicates improvement.

Title Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Severity of Illness Score in Acute Phase
Description The CGI rating scale, which measures symptom severity, treatment response and the efficacy of treatments, is used in clinical studies on mental disorders. CGI Severity scale is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with participants who have the same diagnosis. The assessment is based on severity of mental illness at the time of rating, 0=not assessed, 1=normal, 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; or 7=extremely ill.

Presence of symptoms (0=no, 1=yes) x ratings for frequency and severity yield a total possible score of 0 to 12 for each item. Lower score=less severity. A negative change score from baseline indicates improvement.

Title Change From Baseline in Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS) Total Score in Acute Phase
Description The SAS is a 10-item instrument used to evaluate the presence and severity of parkinsonian symptomatology. It is the most commonly used rating scale for Parkinsonism in clinical trials over the past 25 years. The ten items focus on rigidity rather than bradykinesia, and do not assess subjective rigidity or slowness. Items are rated for severity on a 0-4 scale, with definitions given for each anchor point. The total SAS Score has a possible range from 10 to 50.(lower score=less severe). Negative change scores indicate improvement.

Title Change in Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) Psychosis Subscale Score From Baseline During Extension Phase
Description The NPI is a questionnaire that quantifies behavioral changes in dementia. For each of 12 behavioral domains there are 4 scores: Frequency (scale:1=occasionally to 4=very frequently), Severity (scale:1=Mild to 3=Severe), Total (frequency x severity), Caregiver distress (scale: 0=not at all distressing to 5=extremely distressing).The NPI Psychosis Subscale consists of the two domains of Delusions and Hallucinations, calculated by adding the Individual Item Scores, to yield a possible total score of 0 to 24. Lower score=less severity. A negative change score from baseline indicates improvement.

Title Change in Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) Total Score During Extension Phase
Description AIMS is a rating scale that was designed to measure involuntary movements (tardive dyskinesia). The AIMS test has a total of twelve items rating involuntary movements of various areas of the patient's body. These items are rated on a five-point scale of severity from 0-4. The scale is rated from 0 (none), 1 (minimal), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (severe). AIMS Total Score is from 0 to 28. A negative change score signifies improvement.

Title Change in Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS) Total Score During Extension Phase
Description The SAS is a 10-item instrument used to evaluate the presence and severity of parkinsonian symptomatology. It is the most commonly used rating scale for Parkinsonism in clinical trials over the past 25 years. The ten items focus on rigidity rather than bradykinesia, and do not assess subjective rigidity or slowness. Items are rated for severity on a 0-4 scale, with definitions given for each anchor point. The total SAS Score has a possible range from 10 to 50 (lower score=less severe). Negative change scores indicate improvement.
