Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the safety effectiveness and plasma concentration of paliperidone an antipsychotic medication given once daily in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia
Detailed Description: Paliperidone is an extended-release tablet Paliperidone is an active metabolite of risperidone not approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in Japan This is a multicenter open-label parallel-group fixed dose study to evaluate the safety effectiveness and plasma concentration of paliperidone taken once daily in patients with schizophrenia The patients will receive a fixed dose of paliperidone 3 9 and 15 mg for 6 weeks and its effectiveness and safety will be observed for an additional 2 weeks Efficacy will be measured by determining changes throughout the study in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale PANSS score a scale for the measurement of symptoms of schizophrenia and the Clinical Global Impression CGI score In addition the study also assesses the relationship between doseplasma drug concentration and dopamine D2 receptor occupancy in patients who consent to receive positron emission tomography PET Safety evaluations symptoms physical exams electrocardiograms laboratory tests Drug-Induced Extrapyramidal Symptoms Scale DIESS results and adverse event monitoring will be conducted throughout the study The study hypothesis is that paliperidone will be effective in the treatment of schizophrenia and that it will be well-tolerated The patients will receive either 3 9 or 15 mg of paliperidone taken once daily by mouth for 6 weeks
