Active clinical trials for "Bipolar Disorder"

Thirty subjects with a DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, fourth version)diagnosis of BPD during a depressive or hypomanic episode will be divided in two groups according to age and time of illness. All patients will receive lithium (flexible therapeutic dose) for 6 weeks and improvement will be evaluated weekly using depression and mania rating scales; this study also objectives to identify state/trait markers and predictors of response.

To evaluate the feasibility, tolerability and efficacy of Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) in elderly patients with a major depressive episode, who are randomly assigned to receive an acute course of MST or ECT. The investigators hypothesize: MST and ECT will have similar antidepressant efficacy MST will have less post-treatment amnesia than ECT as reflected in a primary measures of anterograde and retrograde amnesia following the acute treatment phase. At follow up, MST will show a lesser degree of persisting deficit in measures of retrograde amnesia than ECT.

The study evaluates the efficacy and safety of SM-13496 compared with placebo in patients with Bipolar I Depression.

Mindfulness group therapy can help children with mood irregularities and family history of bipolar disorder.

The objective of this Implementation Trial is to evaluate the implementation of evidence based practices for Bipolar Disorder and Treatment Resistant Depression in small rural Federally Qualified Health Centers. The evidence based practices chosen and adapted by Health Center providers and patients in consultation with clinical experts include: screening for and diagnosing Bipolar Disorder, prescribing mood stabilizers, on-line cognitive behavioral therapy, on-line peer support, collaborative care management and tele-psychiatry consultation. A quasi-experimental study design will be used, with each of the six participating Federally Qualified Health Centers choosing one implementation clinic and one control clinic. Implementation outcomes include: reach, adoption, implementation-fidelity and effectiveness. Providers and patients may choose to use all, any or none of the evidence based practices based on their needs and preferences. Data will be collected from chart review and patient surveys will be administered by an Interactive Voice Response telephone system.

This is an open-label continuation study designed to monitor the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of lurasidone in subjects who have completed participation in a lurasidone extension study (NCT00868959 and NCT01566162) and who may benefit from continued treatment with lurasidone.

Pilot multicentric, prospective, placebo controlled, randomized double blinded, study of 12 weeks follow-up Adult patients diagnosed of bipolar disorder I or II, in previous treatment with no more than two concomitant mood stabilizers at stable doses and current subsyndromal symptoms, defined as YMRS ≤14 and/ or MADRS≥8 and ≤14 would be included Sub-acute phases would be excluded (at least 8 weeks from last exacerbation would be required for inclusion).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the superior efficacy of quetiapine extended release(XR) mono-therapy, administered once daily compared to placebo, in the treatment of depressive symptoms in patients with Bipolar I and Bipolar II Disorder

This is a two part study. Part A is a multiple-ascending dose study in up to 6 different groups of healthy subjects, with approximately 12 subjects in each of the groups. Part A will allow investigation of up to 6 different doses of LY2979165. The drug will be administered for a total of 14 days. Subjects will be resident in the clinical research unit (CRU) from Day -1 (the day before dosing) until Day 15. Part B will investigate a dose of LY2979165 previously administered in Part A in up to 12 subjects. The drug will be administered for a total of 14 days. In addition to the same assessments as would have been completed in Part A, subjects in Part B will also have cerebrospinal fluid samples taken from the lower lumbar region of their spine.
