Summary

This trial is testing the safety of a medication called lumateperone in children and teenagers who have schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or autism spectrum disorder. Participants take the drug once daily for 26 weeks, and researchers monitor for side effects. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe for young people with these conditions.
