Summary

This Phase IV, randomized, parallel-group study is designed to evaluate the cataractogenic potential of quetiapine fumarate (SEROQUEL) compared with that of a putative non-cataractogenic antipsychotic medication risperidone (RISPERDAL). This study is being conducted to fulfill the SEROQUEL Phase IV commitment regarding evaluation of cataractogenic potential.
