PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 6

Population: Intent to treat population

The MADRS consists of 10 items, each rated on a Likert scale, from 0="Normal" to 6="Most Severe". The MADRS total score is calculated as the sum of the 10 items. The MADRS total score ranges from 0 to 60. Higher scores are associated with greater severity.

Population: Intent to treat population

The CGI-S score is a single value, clinician-rated assessment of illness severity and ranges from 1= 'Normal, not at all ill' to 7= 'Among the most extremely ill patients'. A higher score is associated with greater illness severity.

Population: Intent to treat population

The YMRS is an 11-item clinician-rated instrument used to assess the severity of mania. Seven items are rated on a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 to 4, and four items are rated on a 9-point scale, ranging from 0 to 8. The YMRS total score is calculated as the sum of the 11 individual items and ranges from 0 to 60. Higher scores are associated with greater severity of mania.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 6

Population: Intent to treat population: If a subject has not worked/studied at all during the past week for reasons unrelated to the disorder, the SDS total score will be set to missing.

The SDS is a composite of three self-rated items designed to measure the extent to which three major sectors (work/school, social life/leisure, and family life/home responsibility) in the patient's life are impaired by depressive symptoms. These three items are responded to on a visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging through 0 (no impairment), 1-3 (mild), 4-6 (moderate), 7-9 (marked) and 10 (extreme) disability. The SDS total score is calculated as the sum of the three items and ranges from 0 (unimpaired) to 30 (highly impaired).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 6

Population: Intent to treat population. 3 Lurasidone subjects and 2 placebo subjects did not have post-baseline HAM-A assessment.

The HAM-A is used to quantify the severity of anxiety symptomatology and consists of 14 items. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 (not present) to 4 (severe/disabling). The HAM-A total score is calculated as the sum of the 14 individual items and ranges from 0 to 56. Higher scores are associated with greater degree of anxiety.
