Summary

This study tested whether an experimental drug called TAK-063 can reduce symptoms of schizophrenia during a sudden worsening (acute exacerbation). 164 adults with schizophrenia took either TAK-063 or a placebo daily for 6 weeks. The main goal was to see if the drug improved scores on a standard symptom rating scale. The trial is complete, and results help determine if further testing is warranted.
