Antipsychotic Efficacy
Antipsychotic efficacy was defined as a decrease in the severity and/or frequency of hallucinations and/or delusions. This is measured as the change from baseline (Day 1) to Day 42 in the Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms - Hallucinations and Delusions scales (SAPS-H+D) score for the ITT Analysis Set. The possible total score is 1 to 100 and a negative change in score indicates improvement. Analysis Method: Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and missing data was imputed using Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method.
Time frame: Each study visit (i.e. Days 1, 8, 15, 29 and 42)
Motor Symptoms Change From Baseline (Negative = Improvement)
Motor symptoms were measured using the change from baseline (Day 1) to Day 42 in the combined score of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part II (Activities of Daily Living) and Part III (Motor Examination). The total possible score is 0 to 160 and a negative change in score indicates improvement. Analysis Method: ANCOVA, and missing data was imputed using LOCF method. The UPDRS Parts II+III score was analyzed by constructing 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs) on the difference between each pimavanserin dose group and placebo mean change from baseline. Non-inferiority was concluded if the upper limit of the CI was less than or equal to 5.
Time frame: Each study visit (i.e. Days 1, 8, 15, 29 and 42)
