2 Open-Label Treatment Period
" This is a 52-week period where study treatment will be administered to study participant. The daily dosing schedule will start on Day 1 with all participants receiving a single daily dose of IMP, preferably in the morning. All participants (both rollover and de novo) will begin dosing with emraclidine 30 mg QD."
Not Applicable None 30mg QD: Includes all participants, rollover and denovo participants
