What this study is about
This is a conducted at multiple hospitals, randomly assigned, where neither patients nor doctors know which treatment is given, compared against an inactive treatment, study in the acute treatment of patients with a diagnosis of bipolar I disorder with manic episodes or manic episodes with mixed features (bipolar mania), with or without psychotic symptoms, according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM 5).
View original scientific description
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study in the acute treatment of patients with a diagnosis of bipolar I disorder with manic episodes or manic episodes with mixed features (bipolar mania), with or without psychotic symptoms, according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM 5).
Interventions
DRUG
Lumateperone
Lumateperone 42 mg capsules administered orally, once daily
DRUG
Placebo
Matching capsules administered orally, once daily
Primary outcome measures
Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS)
Time frame: Week 3
The YMRS is an 11-item, clinician-administered mania rating scale designed to assess the severity of manic symptoms. Four of the YMRS items are rated on a 0 to 8 scale, with the remaining 7 items rated on a 0 to 4 scale. The total score ranges from 0 to 60 with a higher score indicating increased severity of manic symptoms.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
