NOTE: Patients who turn 18 years of age during their participation in this study will be allowed to continue for the duration of this trial. 2. Able to provide consent as follows: a. The patients LAR must provide written, informed consent.

Are not sexually active and agree to remain abstinent from Screening through the SFU Period, or b. Agree to use at least an acceptable contraceptive method (including but not limited to: hormonal contraception, intrauterine device, vasectomized partner, bilateral tubal occlusion, condom with or without spermicide, cap with spermicide, diaphragm with spermicide, sponge with spermicide, or double barrier methods) from Screening through the SFU Period 10. Male patients who have reached spermarche must meet one of the following criteria a)Are not sexually active and agree to remain abstinent from Screening through the SFU Period b. Agree to use at least an acceptable contraceptive method from Screening through the SFU period NOTE: If a male patient experiences spermarche during study participation, the Investigator should have an age-appropriate discussion with the patient and LAR to determine if contraceptive requirements (as noted above) are met 11.

Patient has been hospitalized for a bipolar manic episode within the 30 days prior to randomization; 4. Demonstrates a more than equals to 25% decrease (improvement) in the CDRS-R total score between Screening and Baseline visits, or the CDRS-R is below 45 at Baseline (Visit 2) based on Best Description of the Child 5. In the opinion of the Investigator, the patient has a significant risk for suicidal behavior during his/her participation in the study or a. At Screening (Visit 1), the patient scores yes on Suicidal Ideation Items 3, 4, or 5 of the C-SSRS within 6 months prior to Screening or, at Baseline (Visit 2), the patient scores yes on Suicidal Ideation Items 3, 4, or 5 since the Screening Visit. b.

Likely allergy or sensitivity to lumateperone or its excipients, based on known allergies or hypersensitivities to drugs with shared pharmacology which may be suggestive of an increased potential for an adverse reaction to lumateperone; 8.
