- Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: up to 24 weeks ]To assess the Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of aripiprazole and its primary metabolite OPC-14857 after administration of the fifth IMD dose.
- time of maximum observed plasma concentration (tmax) [ Time Frame: up to 24 week ]To assess the time of maximum observed plasma concentration (tmax) of aripiprazole and its primary metabolite OPC-14857 after administration of the fifth IMD dose.
- AUC672h [ Time Frame: up to 24 weeks ]To assess the time of maximum observed plasma concentration (tmax) of aripiprazole and its primary metabolite OPC-14857 after administration of the fifth IMD dose.
- Apparent clearance after extravascular administration [ Time Frame: up to 24 weeks ]To assess the apparent clearance after extravascular administration (CL/F) of aripiprazole after administration of the fifth IMD dose.
- Adverse Events [ Time Frame: up to 24 weeks ]Adverse events will be examined by frequency, severity, seriousness, discontinuation, and relationship to treatment
- Vital Signs [ Time Frame: up to 24 weeks ]Mean change from baseline and the incidence of potentially clinically relevant abnormal values will be calculated for vital signs
- Laboratory Examination [ Time Frame: up to 24 weeks ]Mean change from baseline and the incidence of potentially clinically relevant abnormal values will be calculated for routine laboratory tests (including prolactin)
- Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS) [ Time Frame: up to 24 weeks ]To evaluate the change of Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS) from baseline.
