What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline to 3 Week Endpoint in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) Total Score

    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.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change From Baseline to 6 Week Endpoint in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS)

    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.

    Measured: Baseline, 6 weeks

  2. Remission Rate of Bipolar Disorder (Olanzapine Versus Haloperidol)

    Remission of bipolar disorder was defined as completing the 6-week period with meeting the criteria for Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) total score of 12 or less and 17-Item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) total scores of 7 or less at Week 6. YMRS is an 11-item scale measuring severity of manic episodes; total score ranges = 0 (normal) to 60 (severe). The 17-item HAMD measures depression severity; total score ranges = 0 (normal) to 52 (severe). Remission Rate (percent) = number of patients meeting remission criteria divided by number of patients in treatment arm, multiplied by 100.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. Change From Baseline to 6 Week Endpoint in Clinical Global Impressions - Bipolar Version (CGI-BP), Overall Severity of Illness

    A global rating scale for severity of patients adapted to bipolar disorder. Measures severity of the patient's overall severity of overall mood symptoms on a scale of 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).

    Measured: Baseline, 6 weeks

  4. Change From Baseline to 3 Week and 6 Week Endpoints in Clinical Global Impression - Bipolar Version (CGI-BP) Mania Subscale

    A global rating scale for severity of patients adapted to bipolar disorder. Measures severity of the patient's overall severity of manic symptoms on a scale of 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).

    Measured: Baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks

  5. Response Rate of Manic Symptoms at 3 Weeks and 6 Weeks

    Participants who had 50 percent or more decrease from the baseline in YMRS total scores were defined as a responder. 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. Response Rate (percent) = number of patients meeting response criterion for manic symptom divided by number of patients in treatment arm, multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks

  6. Remission Rate of Manic Symptoms at 3 Weeks and 6 Weeks

    Participants who had a YMRS total score of 12 or less were considered to be in remission of manic symptoms. YMRS is an 11-item scale that measures severity of manic episodes; total score ranges from 0 (normal) to 60 (severe). Remission Rate (percent) = number of patients meeting remission criteria divided by number of patients in treatment arm, multiplied by 100.

    Measured: 3 weeks, 6 weeks

  7. Percentage of Participants Who Switched to Symptomatic Depression

    Switch to symptomatic depression was defined as HAMD-17 total score ≥13 at any time in the participants with HAMD-17 total scores ≤7 at baseline. The 17-item HAMD measures depression severity. Each item was evaluated and scored using either a 5-point scale (e.g. absent, mild, moderate, severe, very severe) or a 3-point scale (e.g. absent, mild, marked). The total score of HAMD-17 may range from 0 (normal) to 52 (severe).

    Measured: 3 weeks, 6 weeks

  8. Change From Baseline to 3 Week and 6 Week Endpoints in the Positive Subscore of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)

    Assesses positive symptoms associated with schizophrenia. 7 items make up the Positive scale (ex. delusions, conceptual disorganization, and hallucinatory behavior). Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (symptom not present) to 7 (symptoms extremely severe). Total Positive Subscale scores range from 7 to 49. For this study, the score was converted to 0 to 6 for each item range; hence, the total positive subscale score ranges from 0 to 42.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 weeks, 6 weeks

  9. Percentage of Participants Who Switched to Syndromic Depression

    Switch to syndromic depression was operationally defined by meeting both of the following criteria: At baseline, the symptoms did not meet the criteria for a mixed episode based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). The critiera were met for a Major Depressive Episode (MDE), at any point after randomization, based on DSM-IV-TR. Rather than the 2-week period required for an MDE in the DSM-IV-TR, the patient had to meet the criteria of an MDE for at least 7 consecutive days (during Weeks 1 through 6).

    Measured: 3 weeks, 6 weeks

  10. Maximum Change From Baseline During 6-Week Period in Drug-Induced Extrapyramidal Symptoms Scale (DIEPSS) Total Score

    Drug Induced Extra-Pyramidal Symptoms Scale (DIEPSS) is a scale used to evaluate the severity of drug induced extra-pyramidal symptoms occurring during antipsychotic drug treatment. Scale consists of 8 individual symptom scales with scores ranging from 0 (none/normal) to 4 (severe). The total score is the sum of the 8 item scores, for a total range of 0 (normal) to 32 (severe).

    Measured: Baseline to 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing olanzapine and haloperidol in people with Bipolar Disorder, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 16 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Dec 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Feb 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline to 3 Week Endpoint in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) Total Score (time frame: Baseline, 3 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00129220, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Dec 2010.
