pregnancy test at screening
 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1.History of suicidal tendencies (e.g. suicidal attempts) within the past 3
months prior to screening or immediate risk of harm to self or other at the
time of Screening, as judged by the investigator.
2. Absolute neutrophil count ≤ 2000 /mm3 or /μL and WBC count ≤ 4000
/mm3 or /μL.
3. Elderly patients with diagnosed dementia related psychosis.

absorption, metabolism, or excretion of Clozapine or other study
medications.
