A Twelve Week, Open Label Extension Study in Patients With Schizophrenia

A Twelve Week, Multicenter, Open Label Extension Study in Subjects With Schizophrenia

This is a 12-week, multi-center, open-label extension study designed to evaluate the longer-term safety, tolerability and effectiveness of lurasidone for the treatment of subjects with schizophrenia.

This is a 12-week, multi-center, open-label extension study designed to evaluate the longer-term safety, tolerability and effectiveness of lurasidone for the treatment of subjects with schizophrenia who have participated in Study D1050238, a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study of lurasidone for the maintenance treatment of subjects with schizophrenia. Subjects who have completed the 28-week double-blind phase or who have experienced a protocol-defined relapse event during the double-blind phase of study D1050238 will have the option to participate in this study. In addition, if/when the study is discontinued by the sponsor, all subjects participating in the open-label phase and the double-blind phase of study D1050238 will have the option to participate in this extension study

• Subject has experienced a protocol-defined relapse event during the double- blind phase in study D1050238
• Subject is participating in the open-label or double-blind phase of study D1050238 if/when study D1050238 is terminated by the sponsor.
• Subject has completed all required assessments on the final study visit (Study Visit Number 42) in study D1050238.
