Findings: A total of 593 patients(intention-to-treat population)were enrolled:63.1%were male;their mean (SD)age was38.4 (11.8)years;and 78.6%had paranoid schizophrenia.The main reasons for transition to PP were patient’s wish(n ¼ 259 [43.7%]), lack of efficacy (n ¼ 144 [24.3%]),lack of compliance
(n ¼ 138 [23.3%]),and lack of tolerability(n ¼ 52
[8.8%]) with the previous oral antipsychotic medication.
There commended PP initiation regimen(150
milligram equivalents[mgeq]day1and100mgeq
day 8)was administeredin93.9%of patients.Mean
PANSS total score decreased from71.5(14.6)at
baseline to59.7(18.1)atendpoint(meanchange,

Sixty-four percent of patients show edanim provement
