The primary objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that mean weight gain, as assessed by change from baseline, would be statistically significantly less for flexibly dosed LY2140023 (20, 40, or 80 mg twice daily [BID]) than for flexibly dosed aripiprazole (10, 15, or 30 mg/day) in patients with schizophrenia after 24 weeks of double-blind treatment.~This was a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, Phase 3 study to assess the safety and efficacy of LY2140023 (flexibly dosed between 20 and 80 mg BID) in patients with schizophrenia. An active control, aripiprazole (flexibly dosed between 10 and 30 mg/day), was included for comparison.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether weight gain will be significantly less in LY2140023 than aripiprazole in patients with schizophrenia.
