About this study

Official title: Optimal Treatment Duration With Olanzapine Following Remission of Manic or Mixed Episode. An Open-Label, Randomized Trial Comparing Two Treatment Strategies.

This is a randomized, parallel, open-label study of patients who have responded to treatment in the acute phase of their manic or mixed episode, with or without psychotic symptoms, with olanzapine in mono or co-therapy, and who are in syndromic and symptomatic remission at the time of enrollment into the study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. The main objective of this study is to compare the efficacy in the prevention of relapse to manic, depressive, or

  2. mixed episodes in two groups of bipolar I patients

  3. who responded to open-label treatment with olanzapine in mono or co-therapy and who are in symptomatic and syndromic remission at the time of entering the study.

  4. The first group will receive olanzapine for a period of

  5. 3 months following inclusion into the study; the second group will receive olanzapine for 12 months.

  6. Relapses will be evaluated in terms of the total YMRS

  7. (Young Mania Rating Scale) and HAMD-21 (the 21-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale) scores.

Secondary outcomes (28)
  1. The secondary objectives posed by this study are the following:

  2. To compare the efficacy of maintaining olanzapine for 3 months versus maintaining it for 12 months in

  3. the improvement of symptomatology in patients who had achieved remission. To this end, the reductions

  4. on the total YMRS score, YMRS specific non-psychotic

  5. item scores, HAMD 21 total score, the scores on the

  6. HAMD 21 specific mood-related items, the total and

  7. positive scores on the BPRS (Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale), and the CGI BP S(Clinical Global Impression of Severity) with respect to baseline will be evaluated.

  8. DSM IV TR criteria will be used for manic and

  9. depressive episodes in order to assess syndromic improvement.

  10. To compare the efficacy of long-term treatments by means of longitudinal assessment using the

  11. general subscale of the CGI BP M (Clinical Global Impression - Modified) and proceeding to

  12. intra- and intergroup analyses.

  13. To evaluate the safety of maintenance treatment

  14. with olanzapine and other coadjuvant medication

  15. in both groups of follow up. To collect data

  16. regarding treatment-derived adverse events,

  17. changes in vital signs, laboratory analyses, and to measure the severity of possible extrapyramidal symptoms.

  18. The Simpson Angus Scale, Barnes Akathisia Scale, and the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) will be used to assess the latter.

  19. To determine the impact on resource utilization

  20. the two treatment groups have. Direct costs derived

  21. from hospital admissions, emergency room visits,

  22. out-patient visits, home healthcare supports, as well as indirect costs derived from days out of work,

  23. the patient's economic income, impact on the caregiver will also be quantified.

  24. To assess the differences between groups

  25. with respect to improvement in functioning and quality of life. The SF 36 Scale (the 36-Item Social Function Scale) will be applied.

  26. To understand the degree of impact the illness provokes in relatives or caregivers

  27. throughout the study. The self-report scale of

  28. family burden (Escala de Carga Familiar - ECF) will be used for this purpose.
