Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in the 16-Item Negative Symptom Assessment (NSA-16) Total Score at Week 6 and Week 12 [Baseline and Week 6 (Stage 1); Baseline (Week 6) and Week 12 (Stage 2)]

    The NSA-16 is a measure of the presence, severity, and range of negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia. It has a high interrater and test-retest reliability across languages and cultures. The NSA-16 uses a 5-factor model to describe negative symptoms: (1) communication, (2) emotion/affect, (3) social involvement, (4) motivation, and (5) retardation. The possible NSA-16 total score ranges from 16 to 96, with a higher score indicating a worse condition. Change was Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score at Week 6 and Week 12 [Baseline and Week 6 (Stage 1); Baseline (Week 6) and Week 12 (Stage 2)]

    The PANSS is a 30-item clinical scale that is extensively used as a reliable and valid measure for negative symptom trials. The PANNS consists of 6 subscales: positive subscale; negative subscale; general psychopathology subscale; prosocial factors (active social avoidance, emotional withdrawal, passive/apathetic social withdrawal, stereotyped thinking, hallucinatory behavior, suspiciousness/persecution); Marder negative factors (blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, poor rapport, passive/apathetic social withdrawal, lack of spontaneity and flow of conversation, motor retardation, active social avoidance); excitement component (excitement, hostility, tension, uncooperativeness, poor impulse control). Each item was scored from "1" (absent) to "7" (extremely severe). The PANSS total score ranges from 30 to 210, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  2. Change From Baseline in the PANSS Negative Subscale Score at Week 6 and Week 12 [Baseline and Week 6 (Stage 1); Baseline (Week 6) and Week 12 (Stage 2)]

    The negative subscale includes items N1 - N7 in the PANSS. Each item was scored from "1" (absent) to "7" (extremely severe).

Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  15. Change From Baseline in the Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS) Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) Composite Score at Week 6 and Week 12 [Baseline and Week 6 (Stage 1); Baseline (Week 6) and Week 12 (Stage 2)]

    The MCCB is the standard tool for assessing cognitive change in trials of cognitive-enhancing agents in schizophrenia and is used to provide a relatively brief evaluation of key cognitive domains relevant to schizophrenia and related disorders. It is made up of 10 tests that measure 7 cognitive domains: Speed of Processing; Attention/Vigilance; Working Memory; Verbal Learning; Visual Learning; Reasoning and Problem Solving; and Social Cognition. The MCCB was to be conducted at approximately the same time of day (+/- 2 hours) and preferably in the morning. The MCCB composite score ranges from 0 to 70, with higher scores indicative of less severe cognition symptoms. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  16. Mean Actual Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) of Illness Score at Week 6 and Week 12 [Week 6 (Stage 1); Week 12 (Stage 2)]

    The CGI is an assessment of a participant's global functioning prior to and after initiating study medication and provides an overall clinician-determined summary measure that takes into account knowledge of the participant's history, psychosocial circumstances, symptoms, behavior, and the impact of the symptoms on the participant's ability to function. It is based on a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the participant's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with participants who have the same diagnosis. Considering the total clinical experience, a participant is assessed on severity of mental illness at the time of rating: 1 (normal, not at all ill); 2 (borderline mentally ill); 3 (mildly ill); 4 (moderately ill); 5 (markedly ill); 6 (severely ill); or 7 (among the most extremely ill participants). Scores range from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicative of greater severity of illness.

  17. Mean Actual Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) Score at Week 6 and Week 12 [Baseline, Week 6 (Stage 1), Week 12 (Stage 2)]

    The CGI is an assessment of the participant's global functioning prior to and after initiating a study medication and provides an overall clinician-determined summary measure that takes into account all available information, including knowledge of the participant's history, psychosocial circumstances, symptoms, behavior, and the impact of the symptoms on the participant's ability to function. It is based on a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the change of the participant's condition at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with the participant's condition at admission. Considering the total clinical experienced, a participant is assessed for change of mental illness as: 1 (very much improved); 2 (much improved); 3 (minimally improved); 4 (no change); 5 (minimally worse); 6 (much worse); or 7 (very much worse). Scores range from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicative of greater severity of illness.

  18. Mean Actual Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) Score at Week 6 at Week 12 [Baseline, Week 6 (Stage 1), Week 12 (Stage 2)]

    The PGI-C is a 7-point, participant-rated scale used to assess treatment response as: 0=Not assessed; 1=very much improved; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change; 5=minimally 6=worse; or 7=very much worse. Week 6 and Week 12 scores are relative to Stage 1 Baseline.

  19. Change From Baseline in the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) Total Score at Week 6 and Week 12 [Baseline and Week 6 (Stage 1); Baseline (Week 6) and Week 12 (Stage 2)]

    The CDSS is a 9-item scale derived from the Hamilton Depression Scale (Ham-D) that is designed to assess depression specifically in participants with schizophrenia. Unlike the Ham-D, the CDSS does not contain depressive symptoms that overlap with negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as anhedonia and social withdrawal. Each item on the scale is scored as: 0 (absent); 1 (mild); 2 (moderate); or 3 (severe). The CDSS is obtained by adding each of the item scores. A score above 6 has an 82% specificity and 85% sensitivity for predicting the presence of a major depressive episode. The CDSS score ranges from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicative of severe symptoms of depression. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

  20. Change From Baseline in the Effort Expenditure for Reward Task (EEfRT) Score for Baseline Press Rate at Week 6 and Week 12 [Baseline and Week 6 (Stage 1); Baseline (Week 6) and Week 12 (Stage 2)]

    The EEfRT is a multi-trial computerized task in which participants are given the opportunity on each trial to choose between 2 tasks that differ in difficulty level and are associated with varying levels of monetary reward. The test measures drug effects on the willingness to expend effort in relation to the amount of reward or probability of reward. The ratio of hard task choices with moderate probability reward is used as an outcome measure for negative symptoms. EEfRT scores are analyzed for 8 variables. Variable 1 is the Baseline press rate and is defined as the value coded as average presses/second. Scores range from 0 to 9, with higher scores indicative of faster button pressing ability.

Title Change From Baseline in the 16-Item Negative Symptom Assessment (NSA-16) Total Score at Week 6 and Week 12
Description The NSA-16 is a measure of the presence, severity, and range of negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia. It has a high interrater and test-retest reliability across languages and cultures. The NSA-16 uses a 5-factor model to describe negative symptoms: (1) communication, (2) emotion/affect, (3) social involvement, (4) motivation, and (5) retardation. The possible NSA-16 total score ranges from 16 to 96, with a higher score indicating a worse condition. Change was Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

Title Change From Baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score at Week 6 and Week 12
Description The PANSS is a 30-item clinical scale that is extensively used as a reliable and valid measure for negative symptom trials. The PANNS consists of 6 subscales: positive subscale; negative subscale; general psychopathology subscale; prosocial factors (active social avoidance, emotional withdrawal, passive/apathetic social withdrawal, stereotyped thinking, hallucinatory behavior, suspiciousness/persecution); Marder negative factors (blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, poor rapport, passive/apathetic social withdrawal, lack of spontaneity and flow of conversation, motor retardation, active social avoidance); excitement component (excitement, hostility, tension, uncooperativeness, poor impulse control). Each item was scored from "1" (absent) to "7" (extremely severe). The PANSS total score ranges from 30 to 210, with a higher score indicating greater severity of symptoms. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

Title Change From Baseline in the Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia (MATRICS) Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) Composite Score at Week 6 and Week 12
Description The MCCB is the standard tool for assessing cognitive change in trials of cognitive-enhancing agents in schizophrenia and is used to provide a relatively brief evaluation of key cognitive domains relevant to schizophrenia and related disorders. It is made up of 10 tests that measure 7 cognitive domains: Speed of Processing; Attention/Vigilance; Working Memory; Verbal Learning; Visual Learning; Reasoning and Problem Solving; and Social Cognition. The MCCB was to be conducted at approximately the same time of day (+/- 2 hours) and preferably in the morning. The MCCB composite score ranges from 0 to 70, with higher scores indicative of less severe cognition symptoms. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

Title Mean Actual Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) of Illness Score at Week 6 and Week 12
Description The CGI is an assessment of a participant's global functioning prior to and after initiating study medication and provides an overall clinician-determined summary measure that takes into account knowledge of the participant's history, psychosocial circumstances, symptoms, behavior, and the impact of the symptoms on the participant's ability to function. It is based on a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the participant's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with participants who have the same diagnosis. Considering the total clinical experience, a participant is assessed on severity of mental illness at the time of rating: 1 (normal, not at all ill); 2 (borderline mentally ill); 3 (mildly ill); 4 (moderately ill); 5 (markedly ill); 6 (severely ill); or 7 (among the most extremely ill participants). Scores range from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicative of greater severity of illness.

Title Mean Actual Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) Score at Week 6 and Week 12
Description The CGI is an assessment of the participant's global functioning prior to and after initiating a study medication and provides an overall clinician-determined summary measure that takes into account all available information, including knowledge of the participant's history, psychosocial circumstances, symptoms, behavior, and the impact of the symptoms on the participant's ability to function. It is based on a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the change of the participant's condition at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with the participant's condition at admission. Considering the total clinical experienced, a participant is assessed for change of mental illness as: 1 (very much improved); 2 (much improved); 3 (minimally improved); 4 (no change); 5 (minimally worse); 6 (much worse); or 7 (very much worse). Scores range from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicative of greater severity of illness.

Title Change From Baseline in the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) Total Score at Week 6 and Week 12
Description The CDSS is a 9-item scale derived from the Hamilton Depression Scale (Ham-D) that is designed to assess depression specifically in participants with schizophrenia. Unlike the Ham-D, the CDSS does not contain depressive symptoms that overlap with negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as anhedonia and social withdrawal. Each item on the scale is scored as: 0 (absent); 1 (mild); 2 (moderate); or 3 (severe). The CDSS is obtained by adding each of the item scores. A score above 6 has an 82% specificity and 85% sensitivity for predicting the presence of a major depressive episode. The CDSS score ranges from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicative of severe symptoms of depression. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

Title Change From Baseline in the Effort Expenditure for Reward Task (EEfRT) Score for Baseline Press Rate at Week 6 and Week 12
Description The EEfRT is a multi-trial computerized task in which participants are given the opportunity on each trial to choose between 2 tasks that differ in difficulty level and are associated with varying levels of monetary reward. The test measures drug effects on the willingness to expend effort in relation to the amount of reward or probability of reward. The ratio of hard task choices with moderate probability reward is used as an outcome measure for negative symptoms. EEfRT scores are analyzed for 8 variables. Variable 1 is the Baseline press rate and is defined as the value coded as average presses/second. Scores range from 0 to 9, with higher scores indicative of faster button pressing ability. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

Title Change From Baseline in the EEfRT Score for Completed Tasks at Week 6 and Week 12
Description The EEfRT is a multi-trial computerized test that reliably measures drug effects on the willingness to expend effort in relation to the amount of reward or probability of reward. For each trial, participants are asked to choose between 2 tasks that differ in difficulty level and are associated with varying levels of monetary reward. EEfRT scores are analyzed for 8 variables. Variable 3 is the proportion of completed task (easy or hard) during the first 50 trials. Scores range from 0 to 1, with higher scores indicative of better task compliance. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

Title Change From Baseline in the EEfRT Score for 12% Probability-Proportion High Effort Opts at Week 6 and Week 12
Description The EEfRT is a multi-trial computerized test that reliably measures drug effects on the willingness to expend effort in relation to the amount of reward or probability of reward. For each trial, participants are asked to choose between 2 tasks that differ in difficulty level and are associated with varying levels of monetary reward. EEfRT scores are analyzed for 8 variables. Variable 4 is the proportion of hard task choices made for the low (12%) probability condition during the first 50 trials of the task. Scores range from 0 to 1, with higher scores indicative of greater effort expenditure. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

30. Secondary Outcome
Title Change From Baseline in the 4-Item NSA (NSA-4) Total Score at Week 6 and Week 12
Description The NSA-4 is comprised of the 4 NSA-16 items as follows: 1) restricted speech quantity, 2) emotion: reduced range, 3) reduced social drive, and 4) reduced interests, as well as an overall global rating of negative symptoms. The NSA-16 is a measure of the presence, severity, and range of negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia. It has a high interrater and test-retest reliability across languages and cultures. The possible NSA-4 total score ranges from 4 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater clinical severity of symptoms. Change was Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.
Time Frame Baseline and Week 6 (Stage 1); Baseline (Week 6) and Week 12 (Stage 2)

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Stage 1 and Stage 2 mITT Populations. Only those participants with available data were analyzed.
Arm/Group Title Stage 1: AVP-786 Stage 1: Placebo Stage 1 Placebo Non-responders; Stage 2: Placebo Stage 1 Placebo Non-responders; Stage 2: AVP-786 Stage 1 Placebo Responders; Stage 2: Placebo Stage 1 Placebo Responders; Stage 2: AVP-786 Stage 1 AVP-786; Stage 2: AVP-786
Arm/Group Description Participants were randomized to receive AVP-786 once daily (QD) on Day 1 for the first 7 days. Scheduled dose escalations occurred on Day 8 and Day 14 to a target dose of AVP-786-34/4.9 milligrams twice a day (d6-DM 34 mg/Q 4.9 mg BID). Participants who completed Stage 1 were eligible to participate in Stage 2. Participants were randomized to receive placebo capsules matched to AVP-786 orally BID. Participants who completed Stage 1 were eligible to participate in Stage 2. Participants who were randomized to receive placebo in Stage 1 and were classified as non-responders were re-randomized to receive placebo capsules matched to AVP-786 orally BID for the entire duration of Stage 2. Participants who were randomized to receive placebo in Stage 1 and were classified as non-responders were re-randomized to receive AVP-786 in Stage 2 using the same dose escalation schedule used in Stage 1: AVP-786 QD on Day 1 for the first 7 days; scheduled dose escalations occurred on Day 8 and Day 14 to a target dose of AVP-786-34/4.9 BID. Participants who were randomized to receive placebo in Stage 1 and were classified as responders were re-randomized to receive placebo capsules matched to AVP-786 orally BID for the entire duration of Stage 2. Participants who were randomized to receive placebo in Stage 1 and were classified as responders were re-randomized to receive AVP-786 in Stage 2 using the same dose escalation schedule used in Stage 1: AVP-786 QD on Day 1 for the first 7 days; scheduled dose escalations occurred on Day 8 and Day 14 to a target dose of AVP-786-34/4.9 BID. Participants who received AVP-786 in Stage 1 continued to receive AVP-786 BID in Stage 2 with no further dose escalations.
