- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Assess the efficacy of olanzapine/fluoxetine combination compared with lamotrigine on depressive symptoms Assess the onset of action of olanzapine/fluoxetine combination compared with lamotrigine as measured by time to achieve an initial response Assess the study-defined response and remission rates including time to achieve a full response and time to achieve remission as well as time to sustained response and sustained remission Assess the time to and rate of relapse to depressive episode following remission for olanzapine/fluoxetine combination compared with lamotrigine Assess the time to and rate of relapse to mania with olanzapine/fluoxetine combination compared with lamotrigine Assess efficacy of treatment in improving symptomatology Evaluate the level of health resource utilization and resource utilization costs associated with olanzapine/fluoxetine combination compared with lamotrigine during the study treatment period Assess the efficacy of olanzapine/fluoxetine combination compared with lamotrigine for suicide ideation Assess the total time of hospitalization of patients on olanzapine/fluoxetine combination compared with lamotrigine during the study treatment period Assess the safety and tolerability of olanzapine/fluoxetine combination compared with lamotrigine during 6 months of therapy The sensitivity and positive predictive value of the MDQ will be determined in this study, using the SCID as a standard To explore possible correlation between changes in eating behavior and changes in body weight
