Brief Summary

This 26-week open-label extension study is designed to provide information on the safety and tolerability of oral ziprasidone (20-80 mg BID (twice daily) with meals) during long-term administration in children and adolescents with Bipolar I Disorder (current or most recent episode manic).

Detailed Description

Study A1281201 is a 6 month, open label extension study of the ongoing double blind, randomized, placebo controlled study of ziprasidone in pediatric Bipolar Disorder (Study A1281198). Study A1281201 will enroll adolescents aged 10 to 17 years with Bipolar I Disorder who have participated in double blind Study A1281198. In order to be enrolled in this open label extension trial, subjects must have met the enrollment criteria for Study A1281198, and must meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria for Study A1281201 at the extension study Baseline visit (last visit in the double blind study).

The purpose of adding this extension study to the ongoing Geodon pediatric bipolar program is to obtain additional longer term safety data in children and adolescents with Bipolar I disorder treated with ziprasidone.

Conditions

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Ziprasidone

All investigational products will be provided by Pfizer and will include oral ziprasidone capsules of 20, 40, 60, and 80 mg strength. Matching placebo capsules will also be supplied for the initial 1-14 day dose transition period. During the transition period all subjects will receive both active ziprasidone and placebo capsules. The placebo capsules are used to maintain the blind to the treatment assignment of the subjects in A1281198 . All medication will be packaged in childproof blister cards with columns for AM and for PM capsules. During the dose transition period (Weeks 1-2, Days 1-14), subjects will receive a study drug blister card for each week of transition dosing. Subjects weighing greater than 45 kg will receive 2 weeks of transition medication, while subjects weighing less than 45 kg will receive 1 week of transition medication.

• The subjects must have received investigational product in Study A1281198 before entering this open label extension.
• In the investigator's opinion, the subject must be likely to benefit from antipsychotic therapy .
• All fertile male subjects and female subjects of childbearing potential who are sexually active and/or their legal guardians, as appropriate, must agree that a highly effective method of contraception

Exclusion Criteria

• Any subjects from the preceding double blind trail who experienced a serious adverse event which required study medication to be discontinued and the subject to be withdrawn from the study. Subjects who experienced cardiac arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, or QTc prolongation (confirmed and persistent Fridericia's correction (QTcF) >480 msec or increase from baseline QTcF >60 msec) during the preceding study.
• Subjects requiring any medications not allowed by the Concomitant Medication Table 12 (see "Concomitant Treatment(s)").
• Subjects who require treatment with drugs that are known to consistently prolong the QT interval (see Concomitant Medication Table 12).
• Subjects who are judged by the investigator as being at imminent risk of suicide.
• Subjects living in the same home as another study participant or having the same caregiver during the same enrollment period (Such subjects can be enrolled in the study at different times but may not be in the study at the same time).
• Subjects should be excluded or a risk assessment should be done to verify that it is safe for the subject to participate in the trial if the subject's responses on the C SSRS or other information based on the investigator's judgment indicate:

• Suicide ideation associated with actual intent and a method or plan such that a positive response ('Yes') is made on items 4 or 5 of the suicidal ideation subscale of the C SSRS; or
• Any suicide behaviors such that a determination of 'yes' is made to any of the suicide behavior items of the C SSRS.
• Pregnant female subjects, breastfeeding female subjects.
• Participation in other studies other than the preceding Study.
• Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.
