Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) Score at Week 4
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
YMRS: an 11-item scale that measured the severity of manic episodes. Four items were rated on a scale from 0 (symptom absent) to 8 (symptom extremely severe). The remaining items were rated on a scale from 0 (symptom absent) to 4 (symptom extremely severe). YMRS total score ranged from 0 to 60, higher score indicated higher severity of mania.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) Score at Week 1, 2 and 3(Baseline, Week 1, 2, 3)
- Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) Score at Week 1, 2, 3 and 4(Baseline, Week 1, 2, 3, 4)
- Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) Score(Week 1, 2, 3, 4)
