About this study

Official title: Objective to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Peropirone Hydrochloride Tablets in the Treatment of Adolescent Bipolar Depressive Episode: a Multicenter Open Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

Bipolar disorder, a type of mood disorder that occurs in various forms, such as depression, mania, hypomania or irregularity.According to the World Health Organization mental health survey, the lifetime prevalence of bipolar disorder is 2.4%; the 12-month prevalence was 1.5%. The lifetime incidence in Shenzhen was 1.5%, and the 12-month incidence was 1.1%. In another study in Hong Kong, the 12-month prevalence of bipolar I, II, and "soft" II was 1.4%, 0.5%, and 1.8%, respectively. Due to endocrine effects, bipolar disorder is more common in women than men, and mainly occurs in late adolescence and early adulthood, with an early trend. An investigation involving 23 countries around the world found that the average age of onset of bipolar disorder was 25 years old, and the low age group (17.24±3.20 years old) accounted for 41.7%. Another study in the United States showed that the average age of onset of bipolar disorder was 20 years old, and the low age group (14.5±4.9 years old) accounted for 63%. With the improvement of medical level, the diagnosis rate of bipolar disorder is getting closer to the true prevalence rate.

Without active treatment, the symptoms of bipolar disorder, especially depression, will accompany the patients for a long time. The quality of life of patients is seriously affected.

The safety of piperopilon hydrochloride has been widely recognized from pre-market clinical research to post-market clinical practice. A total of a clinical study involving 1191 patients showed that the incidence of side effects from long-term use of piperopilone was 21.3%, and the main side effects were mild in the nervous and digestive systems. In addition, it has been reported that piperopirone is also safe and effective for adolescents.Therefore, the investigators designed this study to explore the atypical antipsychotic drug piperopirone as a monotherapy or in combination with mood stabilizer.Clinical efficacy and safety of lithium acid in the treatment of depressive episodes in adolescents with bipolar disorder, and its improvement in cognitive function were assessed.The goal is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of piperopilone hydrochloride tablets in the treatment of bipolar depressive episode in adolescents.

Read the detailed description

Participants will be randomly assigned to the lithium carbonate group, piperopirone hydrochloride group or the lithium carbonate + Piperopirone hydrochloride group after obtaining the corresponding random number according to the order of inclusion. According to the random centers, the lithium carbonate group: piperopirone hydrochloride group: lithium carbonate + Piperopirone hydrochloride group was 1:1:1

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical Global Impression Scale-Bipolar Disorder Scale (CGI-BP-S) score

    The investigators adopt the clinical General Impression Scale - Bipolar Disorder Scale (CGI-BP-S) score to analyze the scores of the subjects in different periods.

    Measured: Change from baseline at 2,4,8 week.

  2. Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) score

    The investigators adopt the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) score to judge the subjects' depression. Starting points: Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17)) ≥2, clinical remission: Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17)) <7.

    Measured: Change from baseline at 2,4,8 week.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Young's Manic Rating Scale (YMRS) score

    Young's Manic Rating Scale (YMRS) was used to determine the degree of mania in the subjects. Initial score: Young's Manic Rating Scale (YMRS) score ≤12; Clinical remission: Young's Manic Rating Scale (YMRS) score ≤5.

    Measured: Change from baseline at 2,4,8 week.

  2. Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) score

    The investigators adopt the Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA) score to judge whether the subjects with normal cognition and affect its subsequent different drugs.

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 week.

  3. Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST-128) score

    The investigators used the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST-128) score to determine whether the subjects had normal cognition. Reference value: total response number < 60: indicating cognitive abnormalities; Incorrect response number > 45: indicates cognitive abnormality

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 week.

  4. WISC score for Children

    WISC Score for Children was used to determine whether subjects' IQ was affected by their disease. Reference value: 1. Low: Total IQ score ≤90; 2. Normal: Total IQ score is 90-110; High IQ: total IQ score ≥110

    Measured: Change from baseline at 8 week.
