   version 7.0.2

   4. Subject is currently being treated with stable dosing of monotherapy risperidone,
   paliperidone, aripiprazole, or their LAIs ziprasidone, lurasidone, or cariprazine and
   has been taking this treatment with the same dosing regimen for at least 8 weeks at

   that was dosed appropriately (within the label) for at least 6 weeks

   6. The subject has not required psychiatric hospitalization, incarceration in prison,
   acute crisis intervention, or other increase in the level of care due to symptom
   exacerbation within 8 weeks of Screening and is psychiatrically stable in the opinion
   of the Investigator

   background antipsychotic medication (measured at Visit 1)

   8. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score ≥ 70 at Screening and
   randomization

   Screening and randomization

10. PANSS Marder Positive symptom factor ≥ 4 on 2 (or more) items (PANSS items, delusions,
   hallucinations, grandiosity, suspiciousness and persecution, stereotyped thinking,

14. Subject resides in a stable living situation in the opinion of the Investigator

15. Subject has identified a reliable informant/ caregiver willing and able to assist with
   study activities as needed throughout the subject's participation in the study. The
   informant needs to be physically present at the Baseline visit, but can complete the
   remaining study visits assessments via phone (as needed and as per local regulations).
   In Bulgaria, the informant needs to physically present at the Baseline visit and
   should be physically present at all study visits where the Investigator determines
   that his/her input would be beneficial.

   drug. Sperm donation is not allowed for 30 days after the final dose of the study
   drug. A female subject is considered to be a WOCP after menarche and until she is in a
   postmenopausal state for 12 months or otherwise permanently sterile (for which
   acceptable methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral
   oophorectomy)

   symptoms in 1 or more psychotic symptom domains despite adequate dose and duration (6
   weeks or longer) of APD treatment.

   4. History of symptom instability

   a. > 3 psychiatric hospitalizations over the last 12 months or 2 over the last 6
