Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This is a multi-center, double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, study that will be conducted in five centers in the US and in twelve centers India. No more than 200 subjects will be enrolled in the study (to ensure 120 complete) with 50% of the subjects being tobacco users and 50% being non-tobacco users. In India up to 150 subjects will be enrolled in the study. Screening of subjects for the study in India is expected to start from first week of January 2010 and enrollment of the first subject in India is expected to be from the first week of February 2010 as there is a 4-week screening period before enrollment in the study. Since there is no approved treatment for CDS, a placebo-controlled study is appropriate. There will be 3 phases of the study: Screening (Week -4 to Day 1); Treatment (Day 1 - Week 12); and Follow-up (Week 12- Week 14). Primary Outcome Measures: ?To assess the efficacy of TC-5619 as augmentation therapy to quetiapine or risperidone, to improve cognition in stable outpatients with Cognitive Dysfunction in Schizophrenia (CDS), using the CogState Schizophrenia Test Battery (CSTB). [ Time Frame: Day 1 - Week 4; Week 4 - Week 8; and finally Week 8 - Week 12. There will be a 2-week follow-up period following the end of the treatment period. ] Secondary Outcome Measures: ?Assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of TC-5619 administered adjunctively with quetiapine or risperidone, evaluate the pharmacokinetics of TC-5619 and plasma levels of quetiapine and risperidone/9-OH-risperidone. [ Time Frame: Day 1 - Week 4; Week 4 - Week 8; and finally Week 8 - Week 12. There will be a 2-week follow-up period following the end of the treatment period. ]
