Purpose
Open-Label Extension to the double-blind effectiveness and safety study R076477-SCH-305 to evaluate long-term safety and tolerability in patients with schizophrenia.
| Condition | Intervention | Phase |

| Study Design: | Allocation: Non-Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
| Official Title: | Open Label Extension to R076477-SCH-305 to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Paliperidone ER in Subjects With Schizophrenia. |
- Flexibly-dosed ER OROS paliperidone 3 mg to 15 mg/day was safe and well tolerated in patients with schizophrenia. The safety profile was generally consistent with that observed in subjects after short-term use in the double-blind studies
- Findings showed stability of symptoms or further improvements in the severity of symptoms associated with schizophrenia (PANSS), personal and social functioning (PSP), global severity of illness (CGI-S), and patient-rated symptoms and well-being (SQLS)

The primary objective of the open-label extension trial was the long-term assessment of safety and tolerability of flexibly-dosed ER OROS paliperidone (3 to 15 mg/day) in patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. Other measures assessed in the extension study included: change in the total Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) score; change in PANSS subscale (positive and negative) scores; overall functioning, as measured by the Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity (CGI-S); personal and social functioning, as measured by the Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP); and quality of life parameters, as measured by the Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale, Revision 4 (SQLS-R4). Paliperidone ER OROS® tablet formulation (3 to 15 mg/day) to be taken orally for 52 weeks
