18 Years - 55 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosis of schizophrenia
  2. Symptomatically stable and currently treated with a stable regimen for at least 3 (three) months prior to dosing with one of the following second generation of antipsychotics: risperidone, paliperidone, quetiapine, ziprasidone, aripiprazole.
  3. Specific cognitive impairment
  4. Smokers and non-smokers

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Current treatment with an anticholinergic or other agent known to adversely interfere with the cholinergic system, and/ or treatment with cholinesterase inhibitor within the last three (3) months prior to dosing.
  2. Current treatment with conventional antipsychotics (e.g fluphenazine, haloperidol) or clozapine.
  3. History of neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
  4. Diagnosis of substance abuse (other than nicotine) within the last month and alcohol or substance dependence (other than nicotine) within the last 6 months.
