Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if risperidone is effective and safe in the prevention of mood episodes in patients with bipolar 1 disorder.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

RISPERDAL CONSTA (risperidone long-acting injection) may provide substantial improvement, by reducing patient non-compliance, in the long-term treatment of bipolar I disorder. This is a randomized (patients are assigned different treatments based on chance), double-blind, (neither the patient nor the physician knows whether drug or placebo is being taken, or at what dosage) placebo-controlled study to explore the safety and effectiveness of RISPERDAL CONSTA in the prevention of mood episodes in patients with bipolar 1 disorder. This study includes 5 periods: a screening period lasting up to 1 week; an open-label RISPERDAL (oral risperidone) treatment period lasting 3 weeks; an open-label RISPERDAL CONSTA stabilization period lasting 26 weeks; a double-blind period lasting up to 24 months; and an open-label extension with RISPERDAL CONSTA lasting 8 weeks. Efficacy will be assessed using the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Clinical Global Impressions - Severity (CGI-S) scale, Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (SF-36), and the Personal and Social Performance (PSP) scale. Safety will be evaluated throughout the study and includes assessment of adverse events, clinical laboratory tests (including hematology, serum chemistry, blood glucose/lipid profile, prolactin, and urinalysis); electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs (pulse and blood pressure), physical examination, body mass index (BMI), and the Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale (ESRS). Oral risperidone (flexible dosage) 1 to 6 mg/day for the first 3 weeks. Risperidone LAI i.m. injections (12.5mg, 25 mg, 37.5 mg, or 50 mg) given every 2 weeks for up to approximately 2.6 years (only 6 months for patients receiving placebo during DB-period)
