Filter by:To examine the safety and effectiveness of extended-release carbamazepine in the treatment of children and adolescents aged 10-17 years with acute manic or mixed bipolar I disorder.
This extension study is designed to investigate the long-term safety and tolerability of licarbazepine 750-2000 mg/d over 52 weeks in patients who completed the 6-week double-blind study CLIC477D2302.
In this study, quetiapine is being tested for the possible treatment of bipolar I disorder with an acute depressive episode in children and adolescents. We hypothesize that quetiapine will be more efficacious than placebo for the treatment of episodes of major depression associated with adolescent BP. Moreover, we hypothesize that quetiapine will be safe and well-tolerated compared with placebo for the treatment of depression associated with adolescent BP. Based on data from the BOLDER study and other studies of atypical antipsychotics in patients with bipolar depression (Calabrese et al., 2004, Macfadden et al., 2004, Tohen et al., 2004), which in general reveal effect sizes of approximately 0.5, a conservative sample size calculation, assuming power of .8, estimates we would need approximately 15 patients in each group to identify a statistically significant group difference in our main outcome measure, change form baseline to endpoint in the Children's Depression Rating Scale (Poznanski, 1979).
This extension study is designed to investigate the long-term safety and tolerability of licarbazepine 750-2000 mg/day over 52 weeks in patients who completed the 3-week double-blind study CLIC477D2301.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of quetiapine fumarate (SEROQUEL) in the treatment of adolescent patients with schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety profile of the Investigational Medication Depakote ER in the treatment of Bipolar I Disorder, manic or mixed episode, in children and adolescents ages 10-17.
This study will examine the impact of comorbid personality disorder on the outcome of treatment among patients with bipolar I disorder.
Our hypothesis is that oral L-carnosine treatment (as compared with placebo) will enhance cognitive abilities (specifically: measures of attention, executive function, working memory, visuospatial ability and language) in persons with bipolar disorder. Secondarily, we hypothesize there will be secondary improvements in positive, negative and mood symptoms with L-carnosine treatment. We aim to test these hypotheses by conducting a randomized, placebo controlled, add on treatment trial of L-carnosine (added to existing antipsychotic treatment) on 48 recruited subjects with DSM IV TR bipolar disorder for a period of 12 weeks. Measures of cognition, and psychopathology will be utilized for evaluating primary and secondary outcomes, along with safety assessments.
We recruited 50 consenting adult subjects with DSM-IV TR diagnoses of bipolar disorder who were about to initiate or switch their current antipsychotic agent. Patients were titrated and cross-tapered during a 3 month titration and stabilization phase. They were followed for an additional 12 months. Clinical outcomes such as study drop out, adverse events, worsening of symptoms, crisis interventions, need for additional medication, hospitalizations etc. were evaluated from months 3 to 15. The numbers of clinical events (pooled) will be used to evaluate if the long acting injectable form of risperidone has an advantage over the oral second generation antipsychotic agents in terms of treatment continuity and clinical stability.
The study is to evaluate the effect of bifeprunox on the pharmacokinetics of valproate in subjects with Bipolar I Disorder after multiple dose administration.
