Trial Outcomes & Findings for SGA-induced Metabolic Syndrome in Bipolar Youth (NCT NCT01858948)

NCT ID: NCT01858948

Last Updated: 2022-11-25

Results Overview

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m\^2). BMI Categories are: Underweight = \<18.5; Normal weight = 18.5-24.9; Overweight = 25-29.9; Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater. Greater decreases in BMI are a better outcome.

Measure
Quitiapine Plus Omega
Patients will be randomized to EPA+DHA supplements (OmegaRx) at a fixed dose of 3.0 g/day (EPA: 2.0 g, DHA: 1.0 g; 5 capsules/d) for 24 weeks Omega: Omega-3 supplements Quetiapine fumarate: Patients will be started on 100 mg BID of quetiapine, and the dose adjusted based on tolerability and response. The quetiapine target dose is 400-600 mg.
Quetiapine Plus Placebo
Patients will be randomized to similar in shape an color placebo supplements (corn oil) Placebo: Similar in shape and color to Omega supplements Quetiapine fumarate: Patients will be started on 100 mg BID of quetiapine, and the dose adjusted based on tolerability and response. The quetiapine target dose is 400-600 mg.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 weeks

Population: First-episode adolescent manic patients treated with open-label quetiapine were randomized to adjunctive treatment with fish oil or placebo for 24-weeks.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure of body fat calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m\^2). BMI Categories are: Underweight = \<18.5; Normal weight = 18.5-24.9; Overweight = 25-29.9; Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater. Greater decreases in BMI are a better outcome.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 weeks

Triglycerides are the chemical form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body. They're also present in blood plasma and, in association with cholesterol, form the plasma lipids. Levels are categorized as follows: Normal - Less than 150 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL); Borderline high - 150 to 199 mg/dL; High - 200 to 499 mg/dL; Very high - 500 mg/dL or above. Greater reductions blood triglyceride levels are a better outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 weeks

Manic symptom ratings will be obtained using the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). The YMRS total score ranges from 0 to 60 where higher scores indicate more severe mania: Total score ≤12 indicates remission (13-19=minimal symptoms; 20-25=mild mania, 26-37=moderate mania, 38-60=severe mania). Greater reductions from baseline indicates a greater improvement in manic symptoms.
