  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

The Journey Study is a research study for people with schizophrenia who are not fully helped by their current medication. Schizophrenia is a mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and acts. This study tests a new medicine called valbenazine, which is taken by mouth every day, to see if it helps with symptoms. **Key Points:**

  • The study lasts about 16 weeks.
  • Participants must be at least 18 years old and have had schizophrenia for at least 1 year.
  • Participants must agree to use birth control during the study if they can have children.
To join, participants need a stable antipsychotic treatment and must not have any severe medical conditions or substance use disorders. Some people, like those who are pregnant or have certain allergies, cannot join. The study involves comparing valbenazine with a placebo (a pill with no medicine) to check its effectiveness, safety, and how well people tolerate it. A placebo-controlled study means some participants get the real medicine, while others get a pill that doesn't have any medicine in it, to see if the real medicine works better.
