NCT00931723

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if lithium 600-1800 mg/day is effective when added to quetiapine fumarate extended release (quetiapine XR or SEROQUEL® XR) 400-800 mg/day in treating acute mania and if so, how it compares with placebo (a non-active capsule, like a sugar pill, that looks like lithium).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) Total Score From Baseline to Final Assessment (Day 43)

    The YMRS total score ranges from 0 to 60 where higher scores indicate more severe mania, thus, a negative change (or decrease) from baseline indicates a reduction (or improvement) in manic symptoms. Total score ≤12 indicates remission (13-19=minimal symptoms; 20-25=mild mania, 26-37=moderate mania, 38-60=severe mania).

    Change in YMRS total score from baseline to Day 43.

Secondary Outcomes (20)

  • The Number of Patients With Clinically Significant Response.

    43 days (from baseline to Day 43)

  • Remission

    Days 8 to 43

  • Change From Baseline to Day 43 in CGI-BP-S (Clinical Global Impressions for Bipolar Disorder-Severity of Illness)

    Change from baseline to Day 43.

  • Change From Baseline to Day 43 in CGI-BP-C (Clinical Global Impressions for Bipolar Disorder-Change From Preceding Phase)

    Change from baseline to Day 43

  • Improvement of Overall Bipolar Illness

    Day 43.

  • +15 more secondary outcomes
