Brief Summary

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

The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that Quetiapine XR (Extended Release) monotherapy and adjunctive therapy is effective in the acute treatment of bipolar depression and comorbid generalized anxiety disorder in patients with bipolar disorder with or without a substance use disorder. The secondary aim is to generate an estimate of effect size to power a definitive large-scale, multi-site collaborative R01 and to configure the use of the primary and secondary outcome measures in the definitive large-scale study.

Detailed Description

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

120 subjects aged 18 and up with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual -IV Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Bipolar Disorder type I or II as identified by extensive clinical interview and the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) will be enrolled and randomized. Assignment to each arm will be balanced for BP I vs BP II; male vs female; and with vs without SUD. Potential participants will be recruited by means of Institutional Review Board -approved advertising or from the clinical psychiatric infrastructure.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 8-week comparison of quetiapine sustained-release monotherapy or adjunctive mood stabilizer therapy vs. placebo in the acute treatment of comorbid generalized anxiety disorder in patients with bipolar disorder with or without a substance use disorder. Subjects will be assessed weekly for mood changes and side effects.
