NCT00081380
The purpose of this study is to determine whether quetiapine when used as adjunct to lithium or divalproex is safe and effective in the maintenance treatment of adult patients with Bipolar I Disorder. The study consists of enrollment and 2 phases, the Open-label treatment Phase and the Randomized treatment Phase. PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.
NCT00012558
A long-term study of current treatments for bipolar disorder, including medications and psychosocial therapies.
NCT00044187
Olanzapine is currently marketed for the treatment of schizophrenia and acute manic episodes with bipolar 1 disorder. This Anti-obesity Agent is currently marketed for the management of obesity. In this study, the Anti-obesity Agent is being tested to see if it can treat weight gain that may be associated with taking olanzapine. The purposes of this study are to determine the safety of olanzapine when given in combination with the Anti-obesity Agent and any side effects that might be associated with it and whether weight-gain agent can help treat weight gain that may be associated with taking olanzapine.
NCT00158990
The purpose of this project is to determine whether concurrent treatment of patients with major depression (unipolar or bipolar) with triiodothyronine (T3) and sertraline, will lead to a stronger and/or more rapid antidepressant effect than treatment with sertraline alone.
NCT00071253
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of continued combination therapy using Depakote plus olanzapine, vs. Depakote monotherapy and olanzapine monotherapy in stable subjects during the maintenance phase of bipolar illness.
NCT00883493
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of quetiapine fumarate monotherapy with quetiapine fumarate in combination with lithium in the treatment of a major depressive episode in patients with bipolar disorder.
NCT01528839
There is growing evidence that thyroid axis dysfunction may contribute to the pathophysiology of bipolar illness. Open-label studies have consistently demonstrated that the behavioral expression of bipolar disorder can be modified by a change in thyroid status, and in many instances the course of illness is improved through the use of adjunct thyroid hormone treatment. Recent evidence emerged from acute intervention studies that add-on treatment with supraphysiological doses of levothyroxine is an effective augmenting agent in patients with a major depressive episode. The primary goal of this international multicenter trial (5 sites) is to determine in a 13-week, randomized, placebo-controlled design (1 week single-blind placebo run-in, 6 week double-blind, 6 week open-label) the efficacy and safety of add-on treatment with levothyroxine (300 mcg/d) in combination with mood stabilizer/antidepressant therapy in the treatment of patients with bipolar depression. The main hypotheses is: treatment with levothyroxine will result in a significantly greater mean reduction of HRSD total score and in a higher number of responders and remitters compared to placebo treatment. This proposal will build on our pilot data and provide evidence for the use of levothyroxine as an effective augmentation strategy in the treatment of bipolar depression.
