Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intramuscular Injections of Risperidone ISM® in Patients With Acute Exacerbation of Schizophrenia: Open Label Extension (PRISMA-3_OLE)

This is the long-term open label extension (OLE) of the study PRISMA-3 (NCT03160521). Those
patients who complete participation in the main segment of the study (double blind) together
with other clinically stable not previously enrolled (de novo patients) may opt to
participate in this extension segment, where they will receive active Risperidone ISM® (75 mg
or 100 mg)under open-label conditions every four weeks for approximately 12 months.

Patients who have completed planned participation in the double-blind segment of the study
PRISMA-3 (NCT03160521) through to the end of the treatment period, may be eligible to enter
into this optional long-term extension segment of the study. During this extension,
open-label Risperidone ISM® (i.e., either 75 or 100 mg) will be administered to all
participating patients once every 4 weeks for approximately 12 months. Patients who enter
into the extension segment of the study will begin participation in the extension segment
immediately upon completion of the end-of-treatment visit assessments and procedures.

In addition to patients continuing from the double-blind segment of the study PRISMA-3
(rollover patients), clinically stable patients not previously enrolled in the study (de novo
patients) may be eligible to enter the long-term extension segment of the study. These
patients will be evaluated for eligibility at a screening visit and, if eligible, will be
allocated to receive either 75 or 100 mg Risperidone ISM every 4 weeks for approximately 12
months.

Approximately 100 de novo patients are planned to be enrolled in the extension segment of the
study, in addition to rollover patients.

The planned total number of randomized patients in this OLE segment of the study is
approximately 479 patients total randomized planned.

Participation in the open-label extension segment of the study PRISMA-3 is optional, and
patients who complete participation in the main segment of the study (double blind segment
of PRISMA-3, NCT03160521) may opt to not participate. Patients who are interested in
participating must meet all eligibility criteria in order to enter into the extension
segment.

Inclusion Criteria (Rollover patients):

To be eligible for entry into the extension segment of the study PRISMA-3, a patient must
meet all of the following criteria at the extension baseline time point (immediately upon
completion of the end-of-treatment visit assessments and procedures for the main part of
the study):

1. Has completed scheduled participation in the double blind segment of the study
PRISMA-3, through to the end of the treatment period and including the
end-of-treatment visit

2. Continues to require long-term treatment with an antipsychotic medication, in the
opinion of the investigator

3. Continues to meet contraceptive requirements of the study PRISMA-3

performed for the extension segment

6. Continues to have an identified reliable informant, in the opinion of the investigator

Exclusion Criteria (Rollover patients):

An individual who meets any of the following criteria at the extension baseline time point

segment of the study PRISMA-3:

1. Missed more than 1 scheduled study visit during participation in the double blind
segment of study PRISMA-3

2. Had an abnormal clinical laboratory value, vital sign, or ECG finding during
participation in the main part of the study that, in the opinion of the investigator,
was clinically relevant, related to study drug, and would compromise the well-being of
