      BPRS-A: 18-item clinician rated scale to assess somatic concern, anxiety, emotional withdrawal, disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, guilt feelings, suspiciousness, disorientation, tension, mannerisms, posturing, grandiosity, depressive mood, hostility, motor retardation, uncooperativeness, unusual thought content, blunted affect, and excitement. Ratings anchored to improve consistency for a single rater over time or between raters. Items rated on 7-point scale 0 (not present) to 6 (extremely severe). Total score=sum of items (range 0 to 108); higher scores indicate increased pathology.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Score at Week 6 [Baseline, Week 6]

      CGI-S: single-item clinician rated scale to rate the severity of a subject's illness over time. Scores range from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most severely ill subjects); higher score indicates more affected.

    2. Change From Baseline in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) - Total Score at Week 6 [Baseline, Week 6]

      PANSS: 30-item clinician-rated scale to measure severity of psychopathology (16 items); positive scale (7 items); negative scale (7 items); summarized as positive score, negative score, and total score. Items scored on anchored Likert scale rated 1 (absent symptoms) to 7 (extreme); scores above 1 indicate clinical symptom is present; scores from 2 to 7 indicate increased severity. Total score range 30 to 210: higher score indicates greater severity.

    3. Change From Baseline in PANSS: Positive and Negative Subscales at Week 6 [Baseline, Week 6]

      PANSS: 30-item clinician-rated scale to measure severity of psychopathology (16 items); positive scale (7 items); negative scale (7 items); summarized as positive score, negative score, and total score. Items scored on anchored Likert scale rated 1 (absent symptoms) to 7 (extreme); scores above 1 indicate clinical symptom is present; scores from 2 to 7 indicate increased severity. Total score range 30 to 210: higher score indicates greater severity.

    4. Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Score at Week 6 [Baseline, Week 6]

      CHQ: 50-item, 15 subscale parent or legal guardian assessed instrument of child's physical, emotional, social well-being, and relative burden of disease on the parents; rated on Likert-type scale: range 0 to 100; higher scores indicate a more positive health status. Global indicators for Physical Health and Psychosocial Health are weighted composites derived from subscale items using scoring algorithms (transformed scores); range 0 to 100: higher scores indicate more positive health status.

    7. Change From Baseline in Children's Problem Behavior and Aggression Questionnaire (CPBAQ) Total Score [Baseline, Week 1 through Week 6]

      CPBAQ: 19-item parent or legal guardian completed questionnaire to rate the child's verbal (such as yelling or cursing) and physical aggression (such a fighting with peers or being cruel to an animal) during the past week. Behavior was rated on a 4-point scale; range 0 (behavior did not occur or was not a problem) to 3 (behavior occurred a lot or was severe problem). Total score range 0 to 57; higher scores indicate a greater frequency and severity of aggression.

      CDRS-R: clinician-rated interview-based scale (with both child and parent or guardian) to assess 17 distinct symptom areas to derive an index of depression severity. Discrepancies between informants' responses were resolved by using most impaired rating given by valid informant. Rated on a 7-point scale; range from 1 (no impairment) to 7 (indicates greater impairment). Total score calculated as sum of the 17 items (range 1 to 119); higher score indicates greater impairment.

    9. Change From Baseline in Child Depression Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R): Suicide Ideation Item 13 [Baseline, Week 1 through Week 6]

      CDRS-R: clinician-rated interview-based scale (with both child and parent or guardian) to assess 17 distinct symptom areas to derive an index of depression severity. Discrepancies between informants' responses were resolved by using most impaired rating given by valid informant. Suicide Ideation (Item 13) detects changes in suicidality over time. Rated on a 7-point scale; range from 1 (no impairment) to 7 (indicates greater impairment).

    10. Change From Baseline in Child Depression Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R): Impaired Schoolwork Item 1 [Baseline, Week 2, Week 6]

A computerized 7-point sedation item (0 [not sleepy] to 10 [very sleepy]) was completed prior to test battery. The Neurocognitive index score was derived from subtest scores per an algorithm. The index score and subtest scores assessed the subject's changes in cognition. Scores were rated as above average (score >109), average (90 to 109), below average (80 to 89), or well below average (70 to 79).

    12. Change From Baseline in CNS Vital Signs Cognitive Test Battery: Neurocognitive Index [Baseline, Week 6, ET]
