Methods Subjects entering the 13-week double-blind trial were randomized to PP 39 156 or 234 mg 25 100 and 150 mg eq of paliperidone respectively or placebo. This subgroup analysis included those with a baseline Clinical Global Impressions-Severity CGI-S score indicating marked to severe illness. PP subjects received a 234-mg day 1 injection deltoid followed by their assigned dose on day 8 and monthly thereafter deltoid or gluteal . Thus data for PP groups were pooled for days 4 and 8. Measures included Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale PANSS CGI-S Personal and Social Performance PSP and adverse events AEs . Analysis of covariance ANCOVA and last-observation-carried-forward LOCF methodologies without multiplicity adjustments were used to assess changes in continuous measures. Onset of efficacy was defined as the first time point a treatment group showed significant PANSS improvement assessed days 4 8 22 36 64 and 92 versus placebo which was maintained through end point. Results A total of 312 subjects met inclusion criterion for this subgroup analysis. After the day 1 injection mean PANSS total scores improved significantly with PP all received 234 mg versus placebo at day 4 P and day 8
