Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effect of dulaglutide adjuvant treatment in patients with bipolar disorder with obesity, in addition to exploring the effect of GLP-1RA on cognition of bipolar disorder.

Description:

3. Characteristics, composition, mechanism of action and research scope of research drugs 3.1 Dulaglutide Injection has been approved for marketing by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA S20190022). Dulaglutide is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist with a half-life of up to 4-7 days and supports once-weekly subcutaneous administration at a dose of 0.75 mg.

The study included 60 patients (aged 18 to 65 years) with bipolar disorder with obesity who met the diagnostic criteria for bipolar disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), fifth edition.Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to 24-week treatment with dulaglutide injection (n=30) or diet and exercise guidance treatment (n=30), followed up at period of enrollment as baseline and at the end of 2th, 4th，8th ，12th ，16th and 24th weeks. Adverse events were recorded.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	weight	To analysis whether weight shows any significant trend with time changes.	Baseline, the end of Week 12 and the end of Week 24
Primary	Concentration of blood glucose in blood	To analysis whether concentration of blood glucose in blood show any significant trend with time changes.	Baseline, the end of Week 12 and the end of Week 24
Primary	Concentration of total cholesterol in blood	To analysis whether concentration of total cholesterol in blood show any significant trend with time changes.	Baseline, the end of Week 12 and the end of Week 24
Primary	Concentration of high density lipoprotein in blood	To analysis whether concentration of high density lipoprotein in blood show any significant trend with time changes.	Baseline, the end of Week 12 and the end of Week 24
Primary	Concentration of low density lipoprotein in blood	To analysis whether concentration of low density lipoprotein in blood show any significant trend with time changes.	Baseline, the end of Week 12 and the end of Week 24
Primary	Concentration of triglyceride in blood	To analysis whether concentration of triglyceride in blood show any significant trend with time changes.	Baseline, the end of Week 12 and the end of Week 24
Primary	CBCT test results	CBCT is a tool to measure cognitive function. It includes 4 dimensions: wire test, symbol encoding, continuous operation, and digital breadth.The wired test reflects the dimension of the speed of patient information processing. Symbolic coding reflects the patient's information processing speed, attention, working memory, reasoning, and problem-solving dimensions.; Continuous manipulation reflects the patient's attention Dimension. The numerical breadth reflects the patient's working memory dimension.The basic information of the completion of each assessment and the completion of each assessment are calculated by the Chinese population norm model T-score, Deficit value, and extent and dimension of damage. Reflected in each assessment and the percentiles of neurocognitive function in the Chinese population.	Baseline, the end of Week 12 and the end of Week 24
Secondary	17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D17) Score	HAM-D17 has been the gold standard for the assessment of depression. The score needs to be based on clinical interviews, and the time frame of the assessment is usually the situation in the previous week. Most items use a 5-point scale of 0 to 4. The standard of each level is: 0 indicates none, 1 indicates mild, 2 indicates moderate, 3 indicates severe, and 4 indicates extremely severe. A few items adopt the 3-level scoring method with 0~2 points, and the grading standard is: 0 indicates none, 1 indicates mild to moderate and 2 indicates severe.	Time Frame: Baseline, the end of Week 2, 4, 8,12,16 and 24
Secondary	Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) Score	Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale was developed by The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in the USA in 1973. It is a safety assessment tool after treatment of psychiatric diseases. Evaluation is based on patient reports, physical examination results, and laboratory reports, and some items should also be consulted with the patient's family. Severity item is scored from 0 (not present) to 4 (severe). Higher scores represent a more severe condition.	Time Frame: Baseline, the end of Week 2, 4, 8,12,16 and 24
