Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of risperidone an antipsychotic medication versus placebo during 3 weeks of treatment of mania in patients with Bipolar I Disorder who are suffering a manic episode
Detailed Description:
Antipsychotic agents have for a long time been used to alleviate the severe behavioral problems associated with manic episodes Risperidone widely used in the treatment of schizophrenia has been shown to be effective in the treatment of manic and mixed episodes associated with bipolar disorders This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of risperidone compared with placebo in the treatment of patients with bipolar disorder who are experiencing a manic episode Patients receive study medication risperidone or placebo tablets to be taken orally once a day at gradually increasing doses during the first week to achieve optimal effectiveness while minimizing any intolerance to the drug By Day 4 the dose of risperidone is in the range of 1 to 6 mgday and treatment with risperidone or placebo tablets continues for 3 weeks The primary measure of effectiveness is the change in the Young Mania Rating Scale YMRS total score from baseline to the end of treatment Additional assessments of effectiveness include the Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness CGI-S scale the Global Assessment Scale GAS which assesses the patients level of functioning and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale PANSS a scale for measuring psychotic symptoms Safety assessments include the incidence of adverse events throughout the study measurement of vital signs temperature pulse blood pressure and evaluation of the presence and severity of extrapyramidal symptoms by the Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale ESRS at specified intervals and clinical laboratory tests hematology biochemistry urinalysis at the start and end of the study The study hypothesis is that daily treatment with risperidone is more effective than placebo as measured by Young Mania Rating Scale scores in the treatment of the manic phase of Bipolar I Disorder Risperidone tablets1 mg or placebo tablets taken orally once daily in the evening dose of 3 mg on Day 1 dose range of 2 - 4 mg on Day 2 dose range 1 - 5 mg on Day 3 dose range 1 - 6 mg on Days 4 - 21 Doses may be increased or decreased at investigators discretion
