Overview

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of HS-10380 relative to placebo for the treatment of participants with schizophrenia.

The trial consists of two parts: dose escalation cohorts and expansion cohorts. The primary aim of the dose escalation cohorts is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HS-10380 in participants with schizophrenia, and the primary aim of expansion cohorts is to evaluate efficacy of HS-10380 in participants with schizophrenia.

PANSS is a 30-item rating scale specifically developed to asses both the positive and negative symptom syndromes of patients with schizophrenia. PANSS is comprised of 30 items and 3 subscales (Positive, Negative, General Psychopathology). An anchored Likert scale from 1 - 7, where values of 2 and above indicate the presence of progressively more severe symptoms, is used to score each item. Individual items are then summed to determine scores for the 3 subscales, as well as a total score. PANSS Positive subscale score range: 7-49. PANSS Negative subscale score range: 7-49. PANSS General Psychopathology subscale score range: 16-112. PANSS total score range: 30-210. Higher PANSS total score means more severe outcome.

The following subcategories are scored: objective akathisia, subjective awareness of restlessness and subjective distress related to restlessness and are rated on a 4-point scale from 0-3.
