- Clinical stability as defined by:
- No exacerbation of illness leading to an intensification of treatment in the opinion of the investigator within four weeks prior to randomization, and
- No change in antipsychotic medication for at least four weeks prior to randomization
Exclusion
- Subjects with current acute, serious, or unstable medical conditions, including, but not limited to: inadequately controlled diabetes, asthma, COPD, severe hypertriglyceridemia, recent cerebrovascular accidents, acute systemic infection or immunologic disease, unstable cardiovascular disorders, malnutrition, or hepatic, renal gastroenterologic, respiratory, endocrinologic, neurologic, hematologic, or infectious diseases

- Subjects who have clinically significant extrapyramidal signs (EPS) as defined by a score of \>20 on the Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS)
- Clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality, including, but not limited to, a corrected QT interval (Bazett's; QTcB) \>450 msec. Repeat ECGs may be conducted at the discretion of the principal investigator.

- Subjects with hepatic impairment as defined by liver transaminases or total bilirubin \> 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN). Repeat evaluation may be conducted at the discretion of the Principal Investigator.
- Subjects considered a high risk for suicidal acts - active suicidal ideation as determined by clinical interview OR any suicide attempt in 30 days prior to screening
- Subjects who have participated in a clinical trial with any pharmacological treatment intervention for which they received study-related medication in the four weeks prior to randomization OR subjects currently receiving treatment (within 1 dosing interval plus four weeks) with an investigational depot formulation of an antipsychotic medication
