About This Schizophrenia Study in Gaithersburg

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn whether the investigational drug LTX-001 is safe and well tolerated in adults with a diagnosis of schizophrenia who are having a recent worsening of their symptoms (an acute exacerbation). Additional questions it aims to answer are: * how does the amount of the study drug in the body change over time (pharmacokinetics) * how does the study drug affect the symptoms of schizophrenia * how do certain markers in the blood change after administration of LTX-001 (pharmacodynamics) Researchers will compare different dose levels of LTX-001 to an inactive product (placebo) to see what differences there are between the two treatments. After successfully screening for the study, participants will stay in a research unit for about five weeks and return one week later for a follow-up visit.
