|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• The patient is judged to potentially benefit from 24-week treatment with aripiprazole once-monthly according to the clinical opinion of the investigator.
• The patient agrees to protocol-defined use of effective contraception. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• The patient has been diagnosed with a primary psychiatric disorder other than schizophrenia during Study 14724A / NCT01795547.
• The patient has a clinically significant unstable illness diagnosed during Study 14724A / NCT01795547.
• The patient is at significant risk of harming himself/herself or others according to the investigator's judgement or according to Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).
• The patient has a disease or takes medication that could, in the investigator's opinion, interfere with the assessments of safety, tolerability or efficacy, or interfere with the conduct or interpretation of the study.
• The patient has one or more clinical laboratory test values outside the reference range, based on the blood or urine samples taken during the conduct of Study 14724A / NCT01795547 that are, in the investigator's opinion, of potential risk to the patient's safety.
• The patient is, in the investigator's opinion, unlikely to comply with the protocol or is unsuitable for any reason. |
