Active clinical trials for "Bipolar Disorder"

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.

Bipolar depression is one of the least studied depressive illnesses. The standard practice for many doctors is to use antidepressant medicines, but there are few studies on the long-term results of these medicines. The goal of this study is to look at how effective and safe these medicines are in treating bipolar depression when taken with a mood stabilizer medicine. The drug being studied is citalopram, also known as Celexa. Celexa is FDA approved for the treatment of major depression, but is not FDA approved for the treatment of bipolar depression. It is, however, standard practice for many doctors is to use antidepressants, like Celexa, to treat their patients with bipolar disorder depression. The drug will be studied in three ways. We will see if it helps treat depressive symptoms. We will see how the drug affects the brain using PET and fMRI scans. Finally, we will look at the possibility that there may be a gene that could predict if a person would get better taking the drug using genetics.

The primary purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy of Quetiapine extended release 600mg per day either as monotherapy or combined therapy in the treatment of patients with mania associated to Bipolar disorder. This trial will also assess the life quality and productivity loss improvement for patients from baseline to day 21.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treating sleep difficulties in patients with bipolar disorder also improves their mood stability.

To compare the efficacy and safety of quetiapine fumarate given as mono-therapy or adjunct therapy to lithium in the treatment of patients with acute mania in bipolar disorder. Patients with a documented clinical diagnosis of bipolar mania according to DSM-IV criteria (296.4X Bipolar I Disorder, Most Recent Episode Manic; 296.0X Bipolar I Disorder, Single Manic Episode) are required to have a YMRS total score of ≥20 at enrolment and randomisation

The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of aripiprazole in comparison to placebo in patients with Bipolar I Disorder experiencing a manic or mixed episode.

The purpose of this study is to see whether memantine improves memory function in participants with bipolar disorder who have minimal symptoms. Secondary analyses will test the role of memantine in improving residual mood symptoms (depression and mania) in participants with bipolar disorder. We hypothesize that in participants with bipolar disorder who have minimal symptoms memantine will be effective in improving cognitive functions, as measured by the difference in neuropsychological test scores at the beginning and at the end of the trial.

This study will compare the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy versus supportive psychotherapy in decreasing depression in people with bipolar disorder.

The purpose of this study is to compare 6 monthly counseling sessions to 6 monthly information sessions on Veterans' decisions to (a) participate in vocational rehabilitation services and (b) become employed.

This clinical study is designed to test the hypothesis that lurasidone is effective, tolerable, and safe when added to treatment with lithium or Divalproex for the treatment of patients with bipolar I depression.
