General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
To assess the safety and tolerability of oral ziprasidone (40-80 milligram [mg] twice a day [BID]) during long-term, open-label administration in children and adolescents with Bipolar I Disorder - Single Manic Episode; Bipolar I Disorder – Most Recent Episode Manic, or Bipolar I Disorder – Most Recent Episode Mixed.

Adverse event reporting additional description |
Safety population = all randomized subjects with at least 1 dose of study treatment. An Adverse Event (AE) term may be reported as both a serious and non-serious AE, but are distinct events. AE may = serious for 1 subject and = non-serious for another subject or subject may have experienced both a serious and non-serious episode of the same event.

Amendment |

06 Dec 2006 |
1- In assessments, fasting glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were added to clinical laboratory testing.
2- Daily dose of study medication for subjects with a body weight of ≥ 45 kg changed to 40-80 mg/day from 60-80 mg/day.
3- In trial design, minimum dose of the preceding double-blind study was decided for the dose reduction in subjects ≥45 kg, who cannot tolerate a dose of 80 mg/day.
4- In Trial Treatment, inhaled steroids were also added along with the topical steroids in the category of medicines for which use is allowed only if taken during preceding double-blind study with stable dose and clinical condition; and benzhexol and other anticholinergics were added in the category of medicines which are allowed without condition.
5- An additional category (≥460 msec) was used in QTcF reporting.
6- A change was made in the reporting priorities of AEs. A decision was made to report the treatment-emergent AEs as the main safety output, and “All AEs” were reported as additional tables. Combined data are the main analyses and consist of all subjects, regardless of the treatment assignment in the preceding double-blind study (A1281132). |
||
Interruptions (globally) |
|||
Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No | |||
Limitations and caveats |
|||
Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data. | |||
The AE tables were amended to incorporate previously unreported AEs that were found during an independent audit and verified by the investigators. |
