| E.2 Objective of the trial |
| E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
This trial will study the efficacy and safety of a fixed dose of asenapine in participants diagnosed with Bipolar 1 Disorder. Participants who qualify for the study will be randomly assigned to receive a fixed dose of asenapine (either 5 mg or 10 mg twice
daily [BID]) or placebo (BID) for 3 weeks. Throughout the trial, observations will be made on each participant at various times to assess the safety and effectiveness of the study treatment. The primary objective of the trial is to measure the improvement of the
participant's manic symptoms (as measured by Young Mania Rating Scale [YMRS]) at Day 21 of the trial. |
|
| E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The key secondary efficacy objectives are to evaluate the effectiveness of asenapine 5 and 10 mg BID compared with placebo in:
• Clinical Global Impression – Bipolar Mania – Severity of Illness (CGI-BP-S),
• Rate of Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) Responders. |
|
| E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Each participant must be at least 18 years of age
- Male, or a female who is not of child-bearing potential or who is non-pregnant, non-lactating,
and is using a medically accepted method of contraception
- Each participant must have a current diagnosis of Bipolar I Disorder, current episode manic or
mixed
- Each participant must be confirmed to be experiencing an acute manic or mixed bipolar 1
episode
- Each participant must have discontinued the use of all prohibited psychotropic medications |
|
| E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- A participant must not have a primary Axis I disorder other than Bipolar 1 Disorder (i.e., an Axis
1 disorder other than Bipolar 1 Disorder that is primarily responsible for current symptoms and
functional impairment)
- A participant must not currently (within the past 6 months) meet the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR™) criteria for substance
abuse or dependence (excluding nicotine)
