Summary

  • Is a man or woman age 18 to 65, inclusive, at Screening.
  • Male participant who is nonsterilized and sexually active with a female partner of child bearing potential agrees to use adequate contraception from signing of informed consent throughout the duration of the study and for 12 weeks after last dose.
  • Female participant of childbearing potential who is sexually active with a nonsterilized male partner agrees to use adequate contraception from signing of informed consent throughout the duration of the study and for 12 weeks after last dose.
  • The participant's psychotic symptoms were exacerbated within 2 months (60 days) prior to Screening (example, aggravated delusion).
  • Has a score of 5 (moderate severe) or higher in 3 or more items of the following Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) items at Screening and Day 1: delusions (P1), conceptual disorganization (P2), hallucinations (P3), suspiciousness (P6), and unusual thought content (G9).

  • Has an identified, reliable caregiver. A caregiver is defined as a family member, informant or friend who is able and willing to assist and support the administration of study drug, adherence to protocol requirements and to the study schedule.
  • Has a body mass index (BMI) score between 18.0 and 35.0 kilogram per square meter (kg/m^2), inclusive, at Screening.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Has received any investigational compound within 30 days prior to Screening, or within 5 half-lives prior to screening, whichever is longer.
  • Has received TAK-063 in a previous clinical study or as a therapeutic agent or has previously or is currently participating in this study or have participated in 2 or more clinical studies within 12 months prior to Screening.
  • Has a decrease in the PANSS Total Score by 20 percent (%) or more at Baseline (Day 1) compared with that at Screening [(PANSS Total Score at Screening- PANSS total score at Baseline)/(PANSS Total Score at Screening- 30)]*100 >=20%].
  • Is an immediate family member, study site employee, or in a dependent relationship with a study site employee who is involved in the conduct of this study (example, spouse, parent, child, and sibling) or may consent under duress.
  • Has uncontrolled, clinically significant neurologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, metabolic, gastrointestinal, or endocrine disease or other abnormality (other than the disease being studied), which may impact the ability of the participant to participate or potentially confound the study results.
  • Has a history of severe head injury/traumatic brain injury, myocardial infarction or stroke.
