Official title: An 8 Week Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Fixed Dosage Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Armodafinil Treatment (150mg/Day) as Adjunctive Therapy in Adults With Major Depression Associated With Bipolar I Disorder
The primary objective of the study is to determine if armodafinil treatment, at a dosage of 150 mg/day, is more effective than placebo treatment as adjunctive therapy for adults who are experiencing a major depressive episode associated with Bipolar I Disorder and who are inadequately responsive to their current treatment for a current major depressive episode.
- Conditions
- Bipolar I Depression
- Being tested
- Armodafinil, Placebo
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ArmodafinilDrug
Patients were randomly assigned to begin oral treatment with armodafinil, which was titrated to 150 mg/day (3 tablets). Armodafinil was titrated up to the target dosage of 150 mg/day (daily dose was administered each morning). Patients began taking blinded armodafinil at a dose of 50 mg/day (1 tablet) on the day following the baseline visit. Doses were increased by 50 mg/day (1 tablet) to a dose of 100 mg/day on Day 2 and 3, and then again by 50 mg /day on day 4 for a target dose of 150 mg/day. Following titration, patients continued taking 150 mg/day of armodafinil for the duration of the study. If a patient was unable to tolerate (recurrent or persistent adverse events) the study drug, 1 reduction in dosage (ie, minimum dosage 100 mg/day [2 tablets]) was allowed. The dosage could not be increased after it was decreased.
PlaceboDrug
Patients were randomly assigned to begin oral treatment with placebo, which was titrated to 3 tablets. Placebo tablets matching the 50 mg armodafinil tablet were used in a manner identical to that of the armodafinil tablets. Study drug was titrated up to the target dosage of 3 tablets / day (daily dose was administered each morning). Patients began taking blinded study drug at a dose of 1 tablet daily on the day following the baseline visit. Doses were increased by 1 tablet to a dose of 2 tablets/day on Day 2 and 3, and then again by 1 tablet /day on day 4 for a target dose of 3 tablets/day. Following titration, patients continued taking 3 tablets/day of study drug for the duration of the study. If a patient was unable to tolerate (recurrent or persistent adverse events) the study drug, 1 reduction in dosage (ie, minimum dosage 2 tablets/day) was allowed. The dosage could not be increased after it was decreased.

The HAM-A is a clinician-rated 14 item scale that provides an overall measure of global anxiety, including psychic (mental agitation and psychological distress) and somatic (physical complaints related to anxiety) symptoms. Each item is scored on a scale of 0 (not present) to 4 (severe), with a total score range of 0 - 56, where less than 17 indicates mild anxiety, 18 - 24 mild to moderate anxiety and 25-30 moderate to severe. The data presented here summarizes the change in HAM-A score from Baseline to 8 Weeks

The Number of Responders According to the Clinical Global Impression of Change - Bipolar Version (CGI BP) Measure of Depression at Endpoint (Week 8 or Last Observation After Baseline)
CGI-BP is a standardized, clinician-rated assessment which allows the clinician to rate the bipolar illness at various time points compared with baseline. At Screening and Baseline visits the physician rated the severity of the illness using 7 categories (1=normal through 7=very severely ill). At subsequent visits the clinician assessed the change in severity of the condition using 7 categories (1=very much improved through 7=very much worse). Subjects were considered responders if they had a rating of "much improved" or "very much improved". The number of responders at Endpoint are presented.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The primary objective of the study is to determine if armodafinil treatment, at a dosage of 150 mg/day, is more effective than placebo treatment as adjunctive therapy for adults who are experiencing a major depressive episode associated with Bipolar I Disorder and who are inadequately responsive to their current treatment for a current major depressive episode.

Interventions
| Intervention | Type | Arms |
|---|---|---|
| ArmodafinilPatients were randomly assigned to begin oral treatment with armodafinil, which was titrated to 150 mg/day (3 tablets). Armodafinil was titrated up to the target dosage of 150 mg/day (daily dose was administered each morning). Patients began taking blinded armodafinil at a dose of 50 mg/day (1 tablet) on the day following the baseline visit. Doses were increased by 50 mg/day (1 tablet) to a dose of 100 mg/day on Day 2 and 3, and then again by 50 mg /day on day 4 for a target dose of 150 mg/day. Following titration, patients continued taking 150 mg/day of armodafinil for the duration of the study. If a patient was unable to tolerate (recurrent or persistent adverse events) the study drug, 1 reduction in dosage (ie, minimum dosage 100 mg/day [2 tablets]) was allowed. The dosage could not be increased after it was decreased. | Drug | Armodafinil |
| PlaceboPatients were randomly assigned to begin oral treatment with placebo, which was titrated to 3 tablets. Placebo tablets matching the 50 mg armodafinil tablet were used in a manner identical to that of the armodafinil tablets. Study drug was titrated up to the target dosage of 3 tablets / day (daily dose was administered each morning). Patients began taking blinded study drug at a dose of 1 tablet daily on the day following the baseline visit. Doses were increased by 1 tablet to a dose of 2 tablets/day on Day 2 and 3, and then again by 1 tablet /day on day 4 for a target dose of 3 tablets/day. Following titration, patients continued taking 3 tablets/day of study drug for the duration of the study. If a patient was unable to tolerate (recurrent or persistent adverse events) the study drug, 1 reduction in dosage (ie, minimum dosage 2 tablets/day) was allowed. The dosage could not be increased after it was decreased. | Drug | Placebo |
Primary outcome
The Mean Change From Baseline to Endpoint (Week 8 or Last Observation After Baseline) in the 30 Item Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Clinician Rated (IDS C30)
Time frame: Baseline and 8 weeks from start of study drug administration (or last observation after baseline)
The IDS C30 is a standardized 30 item, clinician rated scale to assess the severity of a patient's depressive symptoms. The scale uses the 9 symptom domains of the DSM-IV criteria to measure symptom severity. The scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum score of 84. The higher the score the more severe the symptoms of depression. The data presented here summarizes the change from baseline to Endpoint (either week 8 or the last observation after baseline) in the total score of the IDS-C30.
