Bipolar Disorder, Bipolar Mania
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if ziprasidone plus a mood stabilizer will continue to be a safe and effective treatment regimen for adults with Bipolar I Disorder (manic or mixed symptoms) after they have achieved 8 consecutive weeks of symptom improvement on the regimen.
Interventions
Oral capsule formulation: Patients will be treated initially with open-label ziprasidone in the range of 40-80 mg BID (twice a day) for at least 10 weeks and up to 16 weeks. Patients who achieve a stable treatment regimen and whose symptoms stabilize for 8 consecutive weeks by Week 16 (Week 10 at the earliest) will be randomized. Patients randomized to placebo will be tapered off the open-label ziprasidone by 20 mg BID every 2 days (in a double-blinded manner) until they are completely off ziprasidone and are on matching placebo capsules for up to 24 weeks of double-blind treatment.
Oral capsule formulation: Patients will be treated initially with open-label ziprasidone in the range of 40-80 mg BID for at least 10 weeks and up to 16 weeks. Patients who achieve a stable treatment regimen and whose symptoms stabilize for 8 consecutive weeks by Week 16 (Week 10 at the earliest) will be randomized. Patients randomized to ziprasidone will continue to receive the same stable treatment regimen achieved during the open-label treatment, ie, either 40 mg BID, 60 mg BID or 80 mg BID for up to 24 weeks of double-blind treatment.

Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) Score by Visit During Double Blind Period
Clinical Global Impression measures 7 items in Global assessment of improvement in patient's condition; 0=not assessed, 1= very much improved to 7= very much worse.
Time frame: Period 2: Weeks 1 - 24 or time of early termination
Population: Intent to treat (ITT); (n) = number of subjects with analyzable data at observation for ziprasidone and placebo, respectively.

Modified Time to Intervention for a Mood Episode (TIME)
Time to intervention for a mood episode or time to discontinuation for treatment related adverse events, or death due to drug, or death due to disease. Mood episode considered to have occurred and subject discontinued if one or more of the following: Investigator (INV) decides discontinuation is in best interest of subject; loss of effect and/or change to treatment regimen (INV judgment); subject hospitalized for disease under study; Mania Rating Scale (MRS) and/or Montgomery-Asberg Rating Scale (MADRS) rating is ≥18 for 2 consecutive visits scheduled no more than 10 days apart.
Time frame: Period 2: Week 24 or time of early termination
Population: Intent to Treat (ITT). 29 out of 127 ziprasidone subjects and 38 out of 111 placebo subjects met the modified criteria for an intervention for a mood episode
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ziprasidone | Modified Time to Intervention for a Mood Episode (TIME) | 168.145 Days | Standard Error 5.857 |
| Placebo | Modified Time to Intervention for a Mood Episode (TIME) | 140.325 Days | Standard Error 7.627 |
Time to Discontinuation for Any Reason During Double Blind Period 2
Key Secondary endpoint is time to discontinuation for any reason. Profile of patients remaining in the trial over time.
Time frame: Period 2: 24 weeks or time of early termination
Population: Intent to Treat (ITT). Number of participants who discontinued was 43 and 57 for ziprasidone and placebo, respectively.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ziprasidone | Time to Discontinuation for Any Reason During Double Blind Period 2 | 153.526 days | Standard Error 6.454 |
| Placebo | Time to Discontinuation for Any Reason During Double Blind Period 2 | 123.313 days | Standard Error 7.524 |
