Brief summary

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ITI-007 (Lumateperone) in patients diagnosed with Bipolar I or Bipolar II disorder having a major depressive episode. The study will be conducted in two parts, Part A and Part B. Part A is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. In Part B, patients who safely complete participation in part A may be enrolled in an open-label extension.

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline to Day 43 in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score

The Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a clinician-rated 10 item scale to assess depressive symptoms. Each item is rated on a 7-point scale from 0-6. The total score ranges from 0 to 60 with a higher score indicating increased severity of depressive symptoms.

Time frame: 6 weeks

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Set contains all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study medication and who had a valid baseline (pre-dose) measurement and at least one valid post-baseline measurement of MADRS total score.
