Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44039   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7319   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of lithium compared to placebo as an add on to quetiapine XR in the treatment of acute mania in subjects with bipolar I disorder, as assessed by the change from baseline to final assessment (Day 43) in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) total score.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives are to compare effectiveness of Lithium compared to placebo as an add-on to quetiapineXR reduction from baseline using different scales (e.g. YMRS, MADRS,CIG-BP, PANSS). Short time safety of Lithium as add-on to quetiapine XR.
    Blood samples for optionl exploratory genetic studies focusing in identifications of genes that influence the disposition, efficacy, safety and tolerability of quetiapine XR in subjects with bipolar I disorder.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No

    4. YMRS total score ≥20 and ≥4 on 2 of 4 core items (irritability, speech, content, disruptive/aggressive behavior) at enrollment (Visit 1) and randomization (Visit 2).
    5. Subjects must have a CGI-BP ≥4 (moderately ill) at enrollment (Visit 1) and at randomization (Visit 2).

Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at enrollment (Visit 1) and be willing to use a reliable method of birth control, i.e., double-barrier method, oral contraceptive, implant, dermal contraception, long term injectable contraceptive, intrauterine device, or tubal ligation.
    8. Subjects must be able to understand and comply with the requirements of the study, as judged by the investigator.
    9. Subjects may be outpatients or inpatients at enrollment (Visit 1), but all subjects must be inpatients when randomized (Visit 2) and remain inpatients until discharged at the discretion of the investigator.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. Subjects must not have another current, major DSM-IV-TR Axis I disorder that is symptomatic or has required treatment within 6 months of enrollment, other than the bipolar disorder under study.
    2. Subjects with >8 mood episodes during the past 12 months.
    3. Subjects with a mania-like syndrome that is a physiological consequence of a medical condition, a medication, a treatment, substance abuse, or withdrawal.
    4. Subjects that are continuously hospitalized for acute bipolar mania for >3 weeks immediately prior to randomization (Visit 2).
    5. Subject with alcohol or other substance dependence or abuse as defined by DSM IV-TR criteria at enrollment (Visit 1) that is not in sustained full or sustained partial remission (12 months or longer), except caffeine and nicotine dependence.

    - Mood stabilizers (other than lithium) within 2 days prior to randomization (Visit 2).
    - Fluoxetine within 28 days prior to randomization (Visit 2).
    - A depot antipsychotic injection within 1 dosing interval (for the depot) prior to randomization (Visit 2).
    - Irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) within 14 days prior to randomization (Visit 2).
