Filter by:The specific aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a stimulant (lisdexamfetamine) in the adjunctive treatment of bipolar disorder.
There have been reports that stimulants may be effective for bipolar depression without triggering mania. This study will examine whether lisdexamfetamine can improve depressive symptoms over the course of eight weeks. Lisdexamfetamine is a prodrug stimulant that is currently approved for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Participants take the study drug or placebo in addition to a mood stabilizer. The study includes functional magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy to determine whether the medication alters the response to affective stimuli or glutamate, glutamine, or gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels. Neuropsychological testing is also included to determine whether the study drug improves memory and attention in this population. The primary hypothesis is that lisdexamfetamine is clinically effective in this population. The secondary hypothesis is that it will result in an increased response to affective stimuli and altered neurotransmitter levels in the anterior cingulate cortex.
This study compared glutamate and other neurometabolites measured by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) in bipolar I and II patients currently depressed with age-matched healthy controls. The study will also compare 1H-MRS of bipolar I and II patients before and after taking a 12-week course of lamotrigine. The goal of this study was to better understand the neurobiology of bipolar depression and how lamotrigine may therapeutically impact brain function and mood response. The hypothesis was that in comparison to non-remission participants, bipolar participants who achieve remission (defined as a Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score <12 at week 12) associated with lamotrigine monotherapy will exhibit a greater decrease in glutamate (Glu) and an increase in N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), reported as a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-corrected absolute concentration percent change from baseline to endpoint in anterior cingulate (AC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).
This study will be a Proof of Mechanism (POM) study to establish evidence of central pharmacodynamic activity for PF 04455242, and will be a parallel group, randomized, double blind, sponsor open study conducted in healthy male subjects. Once subjects achieve steady state of PF 04455242, they will undergo PF 00345768 (spiradoline) challenge. Data will be analyzed to determine whether PF-04455242 blocks spiradoline induced prolactin release.
The purpose of this first in human (FIH) study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics ( how the body handles the drug) and pharmacodynamics (how the drug affects the body) of PF-04455242-01 in healthy adult volunteers.
The purpose of the study is to compare the sedation profile one hour after dose administration between Seroquel IR and Seroquel XR.
This treatment pilot study will investigate clinical efficacy and adverse effects of magnetic seizure therapy (MST) in patients currently experiencing a unipolar or bipolar depressive episode. The investigators will perform add-on tests to assess clinical and cognitive response to treatment. It is hypothesized that MST will have an antidepressant efficacy with a beneficial neurocognitive adverse effect profile.
GSK1014802 is a use-dependent sodium channel blocker and an effective anticonvulsant in animal models. This study is being conducted to obtain information regarding the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of repeated doses of GSK1014802 administered for up to 28 days in healthy male or female subjects. In addition, the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics of GSK1014802 will be investigated.
This study is designed to assess the use of pramipexole dihydrochloride and quetiapine (Seroquel) XR as combination therapy for bipolar depression. The proposed benefit of the combination therapy investigated in this study is improved treatment of bipolar depression.
This clinical study is designed to test the hypothesis that lurasidone is effective, tolerable, and safe for the treatment of patients with bipolar I depression
