Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Comparison of the Effectiveness of Seroquel XR and Seroquel XR Plus Lithium in Patients With Acute Bipolar Mania: An Open-label, Randomized, Parallel Groups, Rater-blinded, 4 Week, Multicenter, Comparative,Study (NCT NCT01254721)

NCT ID: NCT01254721

Last Updated: 2014-05-08

Results Overview

The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) is an eleven-item, multiple-choice diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of manic episodes. There are four items that are graded on a 0 to 8 scale (irritability, speech, thought content, and disruptive/aggressive behavior), while the remaining seven items are graded on a 0 to 4 scale. These four items are given twice the weight of the others to compensate for poor cooperation from severely ill patients. Total score is summed of 11items. Total score rage is from 0 to 60 and the higher score represent a worse oucome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From Baseline to Day 29

The Severity of Illness scale (CGI-S) is scored to rate the patient's current clinical state. The score range is form 0 to 7. A CGI-S score of 1 indicates that a patient is "Normal, not at all ill" and a score of 7 indicates that a patient is "Among the most extremely ill patients".
