Reviva Pharmaceuticals president and chief executive officer Dr Laxminarayan Bhat said schizophrenia is a devastating mental disease with much unmet treatment need.
"We are optimistic that the results of this trial will establish clinical proof of concept on safety and efficacy to reveal RP5063 as a promising therapeutic option for treating schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder," Bhat added.
The Phase II study is a randomised, double-blind, global multi-centre trial designed to assess the efficacy safety and tolerability profile of RP5063 in male and female patients with schizophrenia.
A placebo-controlled, four-arm study enrolled a total of 234 schizophrenia patients from the US, Asia and Europe.
