Inclusion Criteria
  1. Participant must be voluntarily hospitalized for a current manic episode.
  2. Male and female participants 18 years to 75 years of age at the time of the screening visit.
  3. Body Mass Index (BMI) must be ≥ 18 kg/m2 and ≤ 35 kg/m2.
  4. Meets DSM-5 criteria for bipolar disorder type I, with or without mixed features, as confirmed by MINI interview with at least one well- defined prior mood episode (in addition to the current episode). The most recent prior manic episode must have occurred in the last 2 years.
  5. Episode of mania must not exceed 12 weeks in duration.
  6. Participants must be able and willing to discontinue all other psychotropic medications during the Screening Phase (e.g., antidepressant, antimanic, antipsychotic medications).

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Rapid cycling is excluded as defined herein by subjects who have experienced ≥ 6 distinct mood episodes in a year. Consecutive mood episodes must be demarcated either by a partial or full remission of at least 2 months' duration or by a switch to an episode of opposite polarity. Each manic or mixed episode must have lasted at least 1 week, and each hypomanic episode must have lasted at least 4 days.
  2. Participants with a confirmed lifetime history of schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, dementia, delirium, amnesia, neurodegenerative disease, traumatic brain injury with clinically significant sequalae, seizure disorder, or other neurocognitive disorder. Previous diagnosis of psychotic spectrum disorders are allowable if the Investigator deems the diagnosis to be describing symptoms related to bipolar disorder.
  3. Any medical condition, based on the judgement of the Investigator, that would confound the ability to adequately assess safety and efficacy outcome measures.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) total score from baseline to day 21Baseline (day 1) to day 21

The YMRS is a clinician administered scale that consists of 11 items used to assess the subject's symptoms of mania (total scores range from 0 to 60). The higher the YMRS score, the more severe the subject's symptoms of mania.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Clinical Global Clinical Impression - Severity Scale (CGI-S) total scoreBaseline (day 1) to day 21

This objective will be measured by the change in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) score from baseline (day 1) to day 21). The CGI-S is a global index of patient disease severity as rated by the clinician on a scale from 1 to 7, where 7 represents most severe patients.

Percentage of participants showing treatment responseBaseline (day 1) to day 21

Treatment response is defined as greater than or equal to 50% reduction from baseline to day 21 on the YMRS total score.

The YMRS is a clinician administered scale that consists of 11 items used to assess the subject's symptoms of mania (total scores range from 0 to 60). The higher the YMRS score, the more severe the subject's symptoms of mania.

Percentage of participants showing treatment remissionBaseline (day 1) to day 21

Treatment remission is defined as score of less than or equal to 12 on the YMRS total score from baseline to day 21.

The YMRS is a clinician administered scale that consists of 11 items used to assess the subject's symptoms of mania (total scores range from 0 to 60). The higher the YMRS score, the more severe the subject's symptoms of mania.

Change in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) total score from baseline to day 7Baseline (day 1) to day 7

This objective will be measured by the change in YMRS total score from baseline (day 1) to day 7. The YMRS is a clinician administered scale that consists of 11 items used to assess the subject's symptoms of mania (total scores range from 0 to 60).

The higher the YMRS score, the more severe the subject's symptoms of mania.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Laboratory AbnormalitiesBaseline (day 1) to day 21

To assess the safety and tolerability of BHV-7000. This objective will be measured by assessing the number of unique subjects with grade 3 or 4 laboratory abnormalities.

Change in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) total score from baseline to day 4Baseline (day 1) to day 4

This objective will be measured by the change in YMRS total score from baseline (day 1) to day 4. The YMRS is a clinician administered scale that consists of 11 items used to assess the subject's symptoms of mania (total scores range from 0 to 60).

The higher the YMRS score, the more severe the subject's symptoms of mania.

Change in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score from baseline to day 21Baseline (day 1) to day 21

This objective will be measured by the change in MADRS total score from baseline (day 1) to day 21. The MADRS, Montgomery-Asberg Rating Scale, measures depression on a 10 item scale. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. The higher the MADRS score indicates more severe depression.

Number of Participants With Serious AEs (SAEs), AEs Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation, and AEs judged to be related to study medicationBaseline (day 1) to day 21

To assess the safety and tolerability of BHV-7000. This objective will be measured by assessing the number of unique subjects with SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, AEs judged to be related to study medication that are observed during the Double-blind Treatment Phase (21 days).

Number of Participants With Vital Sign AbnormalitiesBaseline (day 1) to day 21
Number of Participants With Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities specific to QTc elevationBaseline (day 1) to day 21
