Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of Ziprasidone HCl on the distribution of metabolic syndrome (MS) risk factors in a population of Bipolar patients presenting with glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia and/or elevated waist circumference associated with their current antipsychotic medication.
Detailed description
The trial was terminated prematurely on December 14, 2010, due to inability to recruit the planned number of subjects and shifting organizational priorities. The decision to terminate the trial was not based on any safety or efficacy concerns.
Interventions
Ziprasidone Hydrochloride 20 to 80 mg administered orally twice a day (40-160 mg total daily dose) for up to 1 year.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Subject must present at least 2 of the following risk factors of MS at screening: Elevated waist circumference: \>102 cm in men and \>88 cm in women; Elevated triglycerides (TGs): ≥1.7 mmol/L (≥150 mg/dL); Reduced HDL-Cholesterol: \<1.03 mmol/L (\<40 mg/dL) in men and \<1.3 mmol/L (\<50 mg/dL) in women; Elevated fasting glucose: ≥ 5.6 mmol/L. * According to the clinical judgment of the investigator, the risk factors for MS have developed in close temporal relationship to starting an antipsychotic medication. * Substitution to a less metabolically disruptive antipsychotic medication is considered
Exclusion criteria
* Subjects with contraindication(s) to the use of Ziprasidone according to Canadian prescribing information. * Subjects with a history of treatment resistance. * Subjects with any medical condition (e.g. pre-existing diabetes, pre-existing dyslipidemia, thyroid pathology) or taking any concomitant medication (e.g. topiramate or other weight loss-promoting agents, hypoglycemic agents, hypolipemic agents), that may confound the evaluation of the study drug. * Body mass index ≥ 40 at baseline.

Mean Change From Baseline in the Number of Risk Factors of Metabolic Syndrome (MS)
MS risks factors: elevated waist circumference: ≥102 cm in men and ≥88 cm in women (Asian origin: ≥90 cm \[men\] and ≥80 cm \[women\]); elevated triglycerides: ≥1.7 mmol/L (1≥50 mg/dL); reduced HDL-C: \<1.03 mmol/L (\<40 mg/dL) in men and \<1.3 mmol/L (\<50 mg/dL) in women; elevated fasting glucose: ≥5.6 mmol/L (≥100 mg/dL); and elevated systolic/diastolic blood pressure: systolic blood pressure ≥130 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥85 mm Hg.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 52
Population: PP and Intent-to-treat (ITT) population; ITT population = all participants enrolled in the study who received at least 1 dose of study medication and who had baseline and at least 1 post-baseline MS measurement. Results not reported: data not summarized due to limited enrollment and early termination of the study.
Metabolic Syndrome (MS) Prevalence
Percentage of participants at each visit defined as having metabolic syndrome (MS) based on the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III. MS = 3 or more of 5 characteristics: abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high fasting glucose.
Time frame: Baseline through Week 52
Population: PP and ITT. Results not reported: data not summarized due to limited enrollment and early termination of the study.
Number of Participants With Suicidal Tendencies (Columbian-Suicide Severity Rating Scale, [C-SSRS], Mapped to C-CASA [Columbia Classification Algorithm For Suicide Assessment])
C-SSRS is a participant rated questionnaire to assess suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, actual attempts (yes or no responses), and intensity of ideation (rated 1=low severity to 5=high severity). Yes/No responses are mapped to Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA) categories: Completed suicide, suicide attempt, preparatory acts toward imminent suicidal behavior, suicidal ideation, and self-injurious behavior, or no suicidal intent. A participant could have a yes or no response in more than one category.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 1 through Week 52 or Early Termination
Population: PP and ITT. Results not reported: data not summarized due to limited enrollment and early termination of the study.
Percentage of Participants With Individual Metabolic Syndrome (MS) Risk Factors
MS risks factors = elevated waist circumference: ≥102 cm in men and ≥88 cm in women (Asian origin: ≥90 cm \[men\] and ≥80 cm \[women\]); elevated triglycerides: ≥1.7 mmol/L (1≥50 mg/dL); reduced HDL-C: \<1.03 mmol/L (\<40 mg/dL) in men and \<1.3 mmol/L (\<50 mg/dL) in women; elevated fasting glucose: ≥5.6 mmol/L (≥100 mg/dL); and elevated systolic/diastolic blood pressure: systolic blood pressure ≥130 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥85 mm Hg.
Time frame: Baseline through Week 52
