Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) Total Score at Week 4Baseline, Week 4

YMRS: an 11-item scale that measured the severity of manic episodes. Four items (irritability, speech, thought content, and disruptive/ aggressive behavior) 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 was sum of score of all 11 items and ranged from 0 (no symptoms) to 60 (extreme severity of symptoms), higher score indicated higher severity of mania.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Score at Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4Baseline, Week 1, 2, 3, 4

CGI-S: 7-point clinician rated scale to assess severity of participant's current illness state; range: 1 (normal - not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill), higher scores indicated more severity of illness.

Change From Baseline in the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) Total Score at Weeks 1, 2, and 3Baseline, Week 1, 2, 3

YMRS: an 11-item scale that measured the severity of manic episodes. Four items (irritability, speech, thought content, and disruptive/ aggressive behavior) 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 was sum of score of all 11 items and ranged from 0 (no symptoms) to 60 (extreme severity of symptoms), higher score indicated higher severity of mania.

Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) Scores at Weeks 1, 2, 3, and 4Baseline, Week 1, 2, 3, 4

CGI-I: 7-point clinician rated scale which rates the participant's improvement or worsening from baseline, ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse), higher scores indicate less improvement.
