RECRUITINGChange from baseline in Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) total score
PANSS is a 30-item rating scale used to assess the positive, negative, and general psychopathy symptoms of schizophrenia. PANSS total score ranges from 30 to 120 , where a higher score indicates greater severity.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 6
Number of participants with AEs
Assessment of overall safety and tolerability of GXV813 versus placebo in adult inpatients with schizophrenia. This includes monitoring the occurrence and severity of adverse events, results of clinical laboratory tests, changes in vital signs, ECG findings, physical examinations.
Time frame: Baseline to 6 weeks
Participant clinically significant response
Proportion of participants achieving a clinically significant response, defined as a ≥30% improvement in PANSS total score or a 1-point improvement in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score from baseline at week 6, comparing GXV813 to placebo.
Time frame: Baseline, week 6
Change from baseline in PANSS positive sub-score
Assessment of the effect of GXV813 versus placebo on positive symptoms of schizophrenia, measured by the change from baseline in the PANSS positive sub-score at week 6., which measures symptoms that reflect an excess or distortion of normal mental functions. Each item is rated from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme).
Time frame: Baseline, week 6
Change from baseline in PANSS negative sub-score
Assessment of the effect of GXV813 versus placebo on negative symptoms of schizophrenia, measured by the change from baseline in the PANSS negative sub-score (this sub-score is calculated by summing the ratings of seven items, each scored from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme)) at week 6.
Time frame: Baseline, week 6

Change from baseline in Marder negative factor score
Assessment of the effect of GXV813 versus placebo on negative symptoms of schizophrenia, measured by the change from baseline in the Marder (it is a five-factor structure derived from factor analysis of PANSS data) negative factor score at week 6.
Time frame: Baseline, week 6
Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression- Severity (CGI-S) scale
Assessment of the effect of GXV813 versus placebo on overall illness severity, measured by the change from baseline in the CGI-S scale at week 6. The CGI-S scale uses a 7-point rating system, where the highest score indicates greather severity.
Time frame: Baseline up to week 6
Assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of GXV813: concentration-time curve (AUC)
The Area Under the Curve (AUC) in pharmacokinetics represents the total drug exposure over time. It is the area under the plot of drug concentration in plasma versus time following administration.
Time frame: Up to 6 weeks
Assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of GXV813: maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax)
Cmax is the highest concentration of a drug measured in plasma after administration and before the next dose.
Time frame: Up to 6 weeks
