Secondary Outcome Measures

Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score
The PANSS is a medical scale that assesses various symptoms of schizophrenia. The symptoms are rated on a 7-point scale from 1 (absent) to 7 (extreme psychopathology). The total score is the sum of all 30 PANSS items, with a range of 30 (absent) to 210 (extreme ill).
Number of Participants With Clinical Global Impression Severity (CGI-S) Score
The CGI-S rating scale is a 7 point (1-absent, 2-minimal, 3-mild, 4-moderate, 5-moderate severe, 6-severe, 7-extreme) global assessment that measures the clinician's impression of the severity of illness exhibited by a participant. A rating of 1 is equivalent to "normal, not at all ill" and a rating of 7 is equivalent to "among the most extremely ill participants". Higher scores indicate worsening.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (the study of the way a drug enters and leaves the blood and tissues over time) and safety of paliperidone palmitate in participants with schizophrenia (psychiatric disorder with symptoms of emotional instability, detachment from reality, often with delusions and hallucinations, and withdrawal into the self).
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter (when more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study), open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), randomized (the study drug is assigned by chance), parallel-group (Each group of participants will be treated at the same time), comparison study to assess the pharmacokinetics and safety of paliperidone palmitate (study medication) in participants with schizophrenia. The study comprises a 64-day Treatment period and a 155-day Follow-up period. The participants will be randomly assigned to one of the four study groups. The study medication will be administered on Days 1, 8, 36 and 64. Pharmacokinetics of the study medication will be assessed as primary outcome. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.
