Bipolar Research Study
Summit Research Network Announces
An Investigational Drug Study for People with Bipolar I Disorder
Will the study drug or a placebo added to a mood stabilizer reduce the symptoms of depression in people with Bipolar I Disorder?
About the Protocol:
The purpose of this clinical research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the study drug in reducing the symptoms of depression in people with Bipolar I, as compared to a placebo (an inactive substance that looks like the study drug but has no effect on health), when taken twice a day for 6 weeks, in addition to a mood stabilizer.
Are you eligible?
You may be eligible for this clinical study if you:
- Are at least 18 years old
- Have been diagnosed with Bipolar I and are experiencing a current depressed episode
- Have a history of at least 1 bipolar manic or mixed episode
About participation in this clinical research study:
If you are eligible and you wish to take part in this clinical study, your participation may last up to 12 weeks. You will have screening tests over the course of 1 week to 42 days. The tests will include a study-related physical exam, ECG, blood and urine samples, and a psychiatric interview. During the screening period, you will receive a mood stabilizer at no cost, and the study staff will contact you at least once a week by phone. If you have been taking any combination of lithium, valproate, or lamotrigine, you will continue to take one of these mood stabilizers. If you have not been taking any of these, you will be assigned to receive either lithium or valproate.
