Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will determine the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of ALKS 9072 (also known as ALKS 9070) after 4 monthly doses in adults with chronic stable schizophrenia.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: ALKS 9072, Low dose
  • Drug: ALKS 9072, Med dose
  • Drug: ALKS 9072, High dose
  • Drug: Placebo
Phase 1

Detailed Description

Three active treatment groups and a placebo group are planned. Randomization will be sequential by dose level across the sites with placebo assignments randomly inserted. Each subject's participation will be approximately 8 months, including screening, treatment period, and a 3-month follow-up period.
