Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the effectiveness of three systematic interventions for Bipolar Disorder (BD) mixed episodes using medications available in the Brazilian Public Healthcare System (SUS), and assessment of the quality of life of these patients. A randomized pragmatic trial was conducted. An algorithm was developed for the treatment of episodes of bipolar mixed episodes.

Clinical Trial Description

The study design was that of a pragmatic randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for mood disorders in a public healthcare context in the city of Porto Alegre, in southern Brazil. The algorithm was originally developed for the treatment of mixed episodes by a Delphi panel of experts from psychiatric associations in Brazil.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
