NCT01149551
The purpose of this study is to detect genetic associations for the development of schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar illness (BP) by comparing Veterans with these diseases to "psychiatrically healthy" Veterans from Veterans Health Administration medical centers. In addition, the genetic basis for functional capacity and disability in Veterans affected with SZ and BP will be assessed, as will genetic predictors of suicidality and tardive dyskinesia. Finally, we will also establish a repository which allows for future genomic studies related to SZ, BP, and related disorders or sequelae.
NCT00211263
The Bipolar Disorder Center for Pennsylvanians aims to reduce significant differences in treatment results among Pennsylvanians with bipolar disorder, especially among youth, the elderly, rural residents, and African Americans who are less likely to receive adequate treatment, less likely to remain in treatment once identified, and less likely to have positive results if they remain in treatment. Half of the subjects receive either Guideline Intervention (GI) or Enhanced Clinical Intervention (ECI). ECI is a combination of information and support, such as education about bipolar disorder, the medications used to treat it, information about sleep practices and habits that affect quality of sleep, review of symptoms, medication side effects, and coping with side effects. It is predicted that Enhanced Clinical Intervention will be more effective in reducing the differences in results between those most at risk compared to mid-life Caucasians. The treatment study occurs at three sites across Pennsylvania and has emphasized the recruitment of African Americans, youth (ages 12 through 18), and adults over age 65.
NCT00309699
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of flexible-doses paliperidone ER (3 to 12 mg as needed) compared with placebo over 3 weeks in patients with Bipolar I Disorder who are experiencing an acute manic or mixed episode. This study will also evaluate the effects of paliperidone ER on global functioning, and will compare the effectiveness of flexible doses of paliperidone ER to that of quetiapine over 12 weeks.
NCT00868699
This clinical study is designed to test the hypothesis that lurasidone is effective, tolerable, and safe for the treatment of patients with bipolar I depression
NCT00095511
The purpose of this trial is to test the safety \& efficacy of aripiprazole in patients with Bipolar Mania for a period of at least 12 weeks.
NCT00094432
The purpose of this study is to evaluate several doses of aripiprazole in patients with bipolar depression.
NCT00134459
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether eight weeks of treatment with flexible doses of bifeprunox is superior to treatment with placebo in depressed patients with bipolar disorder.
NCT00083954
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of quetiapine compared to placebo in the treatment for a major depressive episode in patients with bipolar disorder after receiving treatment for up to 8 weeks.
NCT00552760
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treating sleep difficulties in patients with bipolar disorder also improves their mood stability.
NCT01181960
The purpose of this study is to build a data repository that can be used to understand pharmaceutical utilization patterns among patients being treated in community behavioral health organizations (CBHOs) for schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder.
NCT00382915
This study will evaluate the differences in smoking behavior, nicotine intake, and nicotine boost among people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or no mental illness.
NCT01677182
To evaluate the efficacy of ramelteon for treatment of acute depressive episodes associated with Bipolar 1 Disorder.
NCT00046384
The purpose of this study is to learn if aripiprazole is effective in the treatment of patients with acute symptoms of Bipolar Disorder.
NCT01166425
Study Design This is the second study of a multiphase, multicenter trial that will comprehensively examine lithium in the treatment of pediatric participants with bipolar I disorder. In order to examine the treatment of bipolar disorder with lithium, this study will include four phases of treatment. The first phase, the Efficacy Phase, will include participants being randomized to either lithium or placebo for 8 weeks to determine the efficacy of lithium in the treatment of children and adolescents with bipolar I disorder. Once participants complete the Efficacy Phase, participants may be eligible to continue in the Long- Term Effectiveness Phase for a maximum of 24 weeks of lithium treatment. Subsequently, participants meeting response criteria during the Long-Term Effectiveness Phase will be eligible to continue in the Discontinuation Phase. During the Discontinuation Phase, participants will be randomized to either placebo or lithium treatment for up to 28 weeks. Finally, those participants who experience a mood relapse during the Discontinuation Phase will be enrolled in an Open Label Restabilization Phase and treated with lithium for up to 8 weeks.
NCT00045916
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) administered with medication for the treatment of a major depressive episode (unipolar or bipolar) and will compare two types of ECT.
NCT01396291
This study is being done to evaluate the efficacy and safety of asenapine as compared to placebo in preventing the recurrence of mood episodes after stabilization of an acute/manic mixed episode in participants with Bipolar 1 Disorder. After a Screening Period, each participant will receive open-label asenapine and matching placebo for 12 to 16 weeks. Participants who meet stabilization criteria may then be randomized into one of the two study arms (asenapine or matching placebo) to receive double-blind treatment for up to an additional 26-weeks.
NCT00097266
The purpose of this research study is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of aripiprazole therapy over 12 weeks in subjects with bipolar disorder experiencing symptoms of mania.
NCT00811473
The purpose of this study is to determine if quetiapine fumarate extended-release (quetiapine XR or SEROQUEL® XR) 150 to 300 mg/day taken by itself is effective and safe in treating children or adolescents aged 10 to 17 with bipolar depression and if so, how it compares with placebo (a non-active tablet, like a sugar pill, that looks like quetiapine).
NCT00580268
The purpose of this study is to examine risk factors for relapse of bipolar disorder during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The main goal of this study is to find the risks that may make it more likely for a woman with bipolar disorder to experience a depressive, manic, or hypomanic episode during her pregnancy and the postpartum period.
NCT00982020
Open-label safety study of oral olanzapine treatment in adolescents, aged 13 to 17 years, with bipolar I disorder (manic or mixed episodes) or schizophrenia.
