This was an open-label, single-center, Phase 1, single ascending dose study, designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of a single SC injection of low, medium and high doses of RBP-7000 in subjects with clinically stable schizophrenia who were not taking risperidone. The design was a sequential cohort with treatment initiated in 3 cohorts after safety and tolerability at a lower dose were confirmed.~Eligible subjects received a single oral test dose of 0.25mg risperidone under medical supervision. Subjects who continued to be eligible were admitted to a residential unit for approximately 14 days, and received a single dose of RBP-7000. Subjects were discharged on Day 15 and returned to the clinical site weekly for approximately 10 weeks.
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and tolerability of injections of RBP-7000 in subjects with stable schizophrenia
