E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Male or female patients, 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive - Female patients must test negative for pregnancy and, if of childbearing potential, must be using a medically accepted means of contraception. - Patients must have a diagnosis of Schizophrenia or schizo-affective disorders as defined in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition Text Revised (DSM-IV TR, APA 2000) (Disorganised, 295.10; Catatonic, 295.20; Paranoid, 295.30; Residual, 295.60; or Undifferentiated, 295.90) and confirmed by the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID). - Patients must meet the following psychopathologic severity criteria at screening: Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) total score, extracted from the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), of at least 45 (18-item version, in which 1 indicates “absent” and 7 indicates “severe”). The PANSS total score should not exceed 75. In addition, item scores of at least 4 (moderate) will be required on 2 of the following BPRS items: conceptual disorganisation, suspiciousness, hallucinatory behaviour, and/or unusual thought content. - Patients must receive a rating of 4 (moderately ill) or greater on the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) scale at screening. - Patients in whom, in the opinion of the investigator, a switch to another antipsychotic medication or initiation of an antipsychotic medication is indicated. - Patients in whom a minimum inpatient hospitalisation stay of at least 3 weeks (when enrolled in the study) is acceptable, in the clinical judgement of the investigator. - Volunteers must be extensive metabolisers for the P450 CYP2D6 if data are available or determined by the genotyping test. - Patients must be considered reliable, have a level of understanding sufficient to perform all tests and examinations required by the protocol. - Patients must be able to understand the nature of the study and have given their own informed consent. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Are investigator site personnel directly affiliated with the study, or are immediate family of investigator site personnel directly affiliated with the study. Immediate family is defined as a spouse, parent, child, or sibling, whether biological or legally adopted. - Have received treatment with a drug that has not received regulatory approval for any indication within 30 days prior to screening. - Patients in whom treatment with CYR-101, or placebo, as specified in this protocol, is relatively or absolutely clinically contraindicated. - Patients who have a history of an inadequate response, in the opinion of the investigator, to 2 or more adequate antipsychotic medication trials of at least 8 weeks duration in the past 12 months prior to screening. - Patients who require concomitant treatment with any other medication with primary central nervous system activity, other than those allowed as specified in Section 9.4.7 and Appendix 3. - Patients receiving treatment with depot antipsychotic medication within 1 dosing interval, minimum of 4 weeks, prior to screening. - Actively suicidal (for example any suicide attempts within the past month or any current suicidal intent including plan) in the opinion of the investigator or a score of 4 or greater on Item 10 of the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). - DSM-IV diagnosis of substance dependence or substance abuse (except nicotine and caffeine) within the 6 months prior to screening. - Diagnosis of substance-induced psychosis by DSM-IV criteria within 7 days of screening (or at any time during the study). - Patients with current heteroagressive behavior - Female patients who are pregnant, nursing, or who intend to become pregnant within 30 days of completing the study. - Have increased risk of seizures as evidenced by a history of: one or more seizures (except childhood febrile seizure), history of electroencephalogram (EEG) with epileptiform activity, history of stroke; surgery to the cerebral cortex; or head trauma with loss of consciousness. NOTE: patients with a history of childhood febrile seizure may be enrolled in this study. - Patients who have had electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) within 3 months of screening visit or who will have ECT at any time during the study. - Test HIV positive. - Test positive for Hepatitis C antibody or Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Patients with positive Hepatitis B core antibody test and negative HBsAg may be included in the study if aminotransferase levels (ALT/SGPT and AST/SGOT) do not exceed 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN). - Alanine transaminase/serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT/SGPT) values >1.5 times ULN of the performing laboratory, or total bilirubin values >2 times the ULN or concomitant ALT/SGPT values >1.5 times the ULN and total bilirubin values >1.5 times the ULN at screening. - Patients with acute, serious, or unstable medical conditions, including (but not limited to) inadequately controlled diabetes (hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) >8%), severe hypertriglyceridemia (fasting triglycerides >5.6 mmol/L, recent cerebrovascular accidents, serious acute systemic infection or immunologic disease, unstable cardiovascular disorders (including ischemic heart disease), malnutrition, hepatic, renal, gastroenterologic, respiratory, endocrinologic, neurologic, or haematologic diseases. - Prolactin level at screening visit of greater than 25 ng/mL (or 25>g/L). - A diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, dementia-related psychosis, or related disorders. If a patient has a past misdiagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, dementia-related psychosis, or related disorders, the investigator will need to contact the Clinical Research Physician prior to enrolment. - Patients with a corrected QT interval (Bazett’s; QTcB) >430 msec (male) or >440 msec (female) at screening. - Patient with current clinically significant cardiovascular disease. - Patient with additional risk factors for Torsade de Pointes (e.g hypokaliemia, hypomagnesemia, long QT syndrome). - History of syncopal events due to cardiovascular abnormality. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary variables consist of parameters measured with the PANS scale. The 30 item PANS Scale is used in order to assess psychopathologic symptoms in psychotic patients (schizophrenics). This scale allows calculating three scores related to three dimensions: positive syndrome, negative syndrome and general psychopathology.
