  • For at least 6 weeks prior to Screening, the participant must be taking a single oral atypical AP medication at a dose and frequency consistent with the drug label. Low dose quetiapine (e.g., taken for sleep) taken in the 6 week prior to Screening is not exclusionary but must be discontinued by the Baseline Visit.
  • Participant must be currently treated with one of the following selected atypical oral AP at the same dosing regimen at package insert specified dose range for schizophrenia for ≥6 weeks:

  • Paliperidone
  • Aripiprazole
  • Ziprasidone
  • Quetiapine
  • Lurasidone
  • Lumateperone
  • Brexpiprazole
  • Olanzapine No participants taking first-generation (typical) AP are to be included in the study.
  • In the opinion of the Investigator, it is clinically appropriate for the participant to discontinue current AP therapy and initiate treatment with X/T.
  • Participant is willing and able, in the opinion of the Investigator, to discontinue all secondary AP medications prior to Baseline visit.
  • BMI must be ≥18 and ≤40 kg/m2.
