Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Comparison of Olanzapine in Combination With a Mood Stabilizer vs Mood Stabilizer Alone, in Mixed Bipolar Patients (NCT NCT00402324)

NCT ID: NCT00402324

Last Updated: 2009-06-03

Results Overview

The YMRS is an 11-item scale that measures the severity of manic episodes. Four items are rated on a scale from 0 (symptom not present) to 8 (symptom extremely severe). The remaining items are rated on a scale from 0 (symptom not present) to 4 (symptom extremely severe). The YMRS total score ranges from 0 to 60.

Participant Flow

Study Period 1 was a 2-28 day day period allowing for screening, divalproex treatment initiation (if appropriate) and washout. Patients meeting diagnostic criteria and having therapeutic serum levels of divalproex in target range of 75 to 125 µg/mL (≥80 µg/mL recommended) during Study Period I, will be randomized into either placebo or olanzapine.

Population: All randomized participants with both baseline and post-baseline measures. Intention to Treat analysis.

The original outcome measure was Time to Mixed Onset of Action (at least a 25% reduction on HAMD and YMRS total scores from baseline); however since upper limit of measure of dispersion could not be computed by observed data, which is not allowed on this system, number of patients with event are presented instead.
