Filter by:The rationale of this study is to assess whether or not food affects the absorption of GW273225 into the blood of healthy male and female volunteers in order to evaluate whether or not this drug should be given at a certain time relative to the consumption of food.
The purpose of this research study is to learn whether or not people with bipolar disorder can reduce their risk of heart disease and related conditions by having a Care Manager provide self management and care management.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of oral extended-release (ER) paliperidone compared with placebo in the prevention of the recurrence of mood symptoms in patients with Bipolar I Disorder who initially respond to treatment of an acute manic or mixed episode with paliperidone ER. Olanzapine was included as an active control arm, although the study is not designed to allow for a direct comparison of olanzapine with paliperidone.
Mixed states in bipolar disorder have long been recognized. Over a century ago, it was argued that mixed states were the most common episodes in manic-depressive illness. A mixed state is defined as a person who is experiencing symptoms of both depression and mania. Currently, a person must have depression plus 3 or more manic symptoms for the episode to be diagnosed mixed. Using this narrow view, less than 10% of episodes in patients with bipolar disorder would meet criteria for a mixed episode. A broader view requires that the person have at least 2 manic symptoms. Using this broader view, data suggest that about 50% of episodes in bipolar disorder would be diagnosable as mixed states. Studies suggest that the majority of persons with a depressive mixed state have bipolar disorder type II. Many people who have a mixed state will also have major depression. Even with such high potential rates of mixed episodes in both bipolar disorder and major depression, there have been few studies addressing the issue. The purpose of this study is to look at how effective Geodon is in treating the depressive mixed state in people with bipolar or major depression. This will be the first clinical trial that is both double-blind and randomized.
This is a study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of RGH-188 monotherapy in the treatment of acute mania. This study will be 5 weeks in duration; 3 weeks double-blind treatment and 2-weeks safety follow-up. All patients meeting the eligibility criteria will be randomized to one of two treatment groups: RGH-188 or placebo
This is a First Time in Human Study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and resting motor threshold (rMT) of single doses of GSK drug in healthy volunteers.This will be a 2 part and 2 centre study.Part 1 will be a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single oral dose, dose-rising, cross-over study in healthy male and female (of non-child bearing potential) volunteers.Subjects will be randomized into cohorts of 10 subjects and cohorts will be recruited until the pre-defined safety or PK stopping limits are reached.Each subject will receive placebo and no more than 4 ascending doses of GSK drug in a randomized sequence on 5 separate study occasions.Each dosing session will take place over 2 days and there will be at least one subject on placebo on each day. There will be only one subject on any new active dose during the first day.Part 2 will be a randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, cross-over study to investigate the effect of single doses of GSK drug and lamotrigine on resting motor threshold in healthy male subjects. Subjects will attend the unit a maximum of 4 separate occasions.During each session subjects will receive up to 4 TMS measurements and single doses of either GSK drug, lamotrigine or placebo, in a randomised manner.Up to two doses of GSK drug will be investigated.
The purpose of this study is to assess olanzapine/fluoxetine combination and lamotrigine comparative efficacy, safety and tolerability in acute and longer term treatment of bipolar depression.
The purpose of this trial is compare the efficacy of olanzapine and Lithium Carbonate in the treatment of bipolar disorder, manic or mixed episodes, in Chinese patients.
The study aim is to explore the effect of a comprehensive Internet-based disease management program for bipolar disorder and recurrent or chronic major depression on clinical outcomes and satisfaction with care.
To compare combination treatment of aripiprazole plus valproate versus valproate alone in the prevention of relapse in bipolar I disorder patients with symptomatic remission after 5-6 weeks open-label acute treatment with aripiprazole plus valproate for manic or mixed episode, with or without psychotic features.
