Phase 3: testing Lumateperone for Bipolar Depression
This is a multicenter, randomly assigned, neither you nor the study doctors know who gets the real treatment, compared with a dummy treatment study in pediatric patients who are experiencing major depressive episodes (MDEs) associated with a primary diagnosis of bipolar I or bipolar II disorder as confirmed by Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL), according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM 5).
Phase 3: this treatment already looked useful in smaller studies. Now it is tested in a large group, often against standard care or a dummy treatment, to see if it should be approved.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Lumateperone, or Placebo. The registry lists allocation as randomized. This is a multicenter, randomly assigned, neither you nor the study doctors know who gets the real treatment, compared with a dummy treatment study in pediatric patients who are experiencing major depressive episodes (MDEs) associated with a primary diagnosis of bipolar I or bipolar II disorder as confirmed by Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL), according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM 5).
They plan to enroll about 384 people at 68 sites. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)
A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Lumateperone for the Treatment of Major Depressive Episodes (MDEs) Associated With Bipolar I or Bipolar II Disorder (Bipolar Depression) in Pediatric Patients Aged 10 to 17 Years
Male or female patients 10 to 17 years of age, inclusive;
Subject has a lifetime history of at least one manic or hypomanic episode
Subject's current major depressive episode is ≥ 4 weeks and less than 12 months in duration;
CDRS-R total score ≥ 45 with ≥ 5 on Item 11 (depressed feelings) at Screening and Baseline;
Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) score ≤ 15 (with YMRS Item 1 \[elevated mood\] score ≤ 2) at Screening and Baseline
Who the registry excludes
Has a primary psychiatric diagnosis other than bipolar I or bipolar II disorder. Exception includes:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). If a subject is taking medications for ADHD, they must have been on a stable treatment regimen of these medication(s) for 30 days prior to screening and the treatment regimen is expected to remain stable throughout the study
Intellectual disability based on Investigator opinion and DSM-5 criteria
Patient has been hospitalized for a bipolar manic episode within the 30 days prior to randomization;
Demonstrates a ≥ 25% decrease (improvement) in the CDRS-R total score between Screening and Baseline visits, or the CDRS-R is below 45 at Baseline;
In the opinion of the Investigator, the patient has a significant risk for suicidal behavior during his/her participation in the study or
At Screening, the patient scores "yes" on Suicidal Ideation Items 3, 4, or 5 of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) within 6 months prior to Screening or, at Baseline, the patient scores "yes" on Suicidal Ideation Items 3, 4, or 5 since the Screening Visit;
Study Description: This study examines relations between neurocognitive and clinical features of pediatric anxiety disorders. The study uses neuro-cognitive tasks, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), as well as magneto- and electro-encephalography (M/EEG).
Background: There are no good treatments for people considering suicide. Researchers want to study suicide with questions, blood tests, brain imaging, and sleep studies.
The specific aims of the study are: Primary: To determine the presence and regional distribution of microglial activation, as assessed by Fluorine-18 (18F) labeled "Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor 06" (PBR06) -PET, in subjects with active Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS), and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) as compared to healthy controls Secondary: 1. To assess the relationship between microglial activation and clinical variables including disease severity and comorbidities (such as pain, fatigue and/or depression), as well as clinical MRI findings (such as lesions and atrophy) 2.
