Olanzapine
Placebo
Olanzapine (open-label treatment period)
During double-blind treatment, participants receive olanzapine at a dose of 5 milligram (mg) which is increased to 10 mg per day no later than 3-7 days after randomization (Baseline). Subsequent dose increases above 10 mg (up to a maximum of 20 mg per day) are permitted in 5 mg per day increments, based upon tolerability and symptoms. Dosing may be decreased by any number of decrements, however dosing below 5 mg requires study discontinuation.
Matching placebo administered once daily, by mouth during double-blind treatment.
During open-label treatment, participants randomized to placebo in double-blind period will receive olanzapine 5 mg starting at Week 6. Participants randomized to olanzapine must be at a 5 mg olanzapine dose at Week 7. Those on higher doses will be reduced between Week 6 and Week 7 (10 mg reduced to 5 mg; 15 mg reduced to 10 mg and then to 5 mg at Week 7; 20 mg reduced to 15 mg and then 10 mg to dosing at 5 mg at Week 7). Dose increases beyond Week 7 are permitted and at the investigator's discretion.
