Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if lithium 600-1800 mg/day is effective when added to quetiapine fumarate extended release (quetiapine XR or SEROQUEL® XR) 400-800 mg/day in treating acute mania and if so, how it compares with placebo (a non-active capsule, like a sugar pill, that looks like lithium).
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Provision of informed consent before any study procedures are performed.
- •The patient must have a documented clinical diagnosis for bipolar I disorder, including recent episode manic or mixed, and being male of females age 18-65 years, inclusive.
- •Patients may be outpatients or inpatients at enrollment visit, but all patients must be inpatients when randomized and remain inpatients until discharged at the discretion of the investigator.
Exclusion Criteria
- •The patient can not have had up to 8 mood episodes during the past 12 months and not been continuously hospitalized for acute bipolar for up to 3 weeks immediately before participating in the study.
- •The patient can not have a past diagnosis of stroke or medically documented transient ischemic attacks (TIA) or a history of seizure disorder, except for febrile convulsions.
- •The patient must not have received electroconvulsive treatment (ECT) within 90 days before participating in the study and in the doctors judgement pose a current suicidal or homicidal risk.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) Total Score From Baseline to Final Assessment (Day 43)
Time Frame: Change in YMRS total score from baseline to Day 43.
The YMRS total score ranges from 0 to 60 where higher scores indicate more severe mania, thus, a negative change (or decrease) from baseline indicates a reduction (or improvement) in manic symptoms. Total score ≤12 indicates remission (13-19=minimal symptoms; 20-25=mild mania, 26-37=moderate mania, 38-60=severe mania).
Secondary Outcomes
- The Number of Patients With Clinically Significant Response.(43 days (from baseline to Day 43))
- Remission(Days 8 to 43)
- Change From Baseline to Day 43 in CGI-BP-S (Clinical Global Impressions for Bipolar Disorder-Severity of Illness)(Change from baseline to Day 43.)
- Change From Baseline to Day 43 in CGI-BP-C (Clinical Global Impressions for Bipolar Disorder-Change From Preceding Phase)(Change from baseline to Day 43)
- Improvement of Overall Bipolar Illness(Day 43.)
- Change From Baseline to Day 43 in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score(Change from baseline to Day 43.)
