Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To evaluate the efficacy of ramelteon for treatment of acute depressive episodes associated with Bipolar 1 Disorder.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is called Ramelteon. Ramelteon is being tested to treat people who have Bipolar 1 Disorder. This study will look at the symptoms of depression in people who take Ramelteon as a sub-lingual formulation.

This study plans to enroll a minimum of 276 participants and a maximum of up to approximately 870 participants Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the three treatment groups-which will remain undisclosed to the patient and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):

  • Ramelteon (Dose 1)

  • Ramelteon (Dose 2)

  • Placebo (dummy inactive pill) - this is a tablet that looks like the study drug but has no active ingredient All participants will be asked to take one tablet every night at bedtime throughout the study.

This study plans to conduct one unblinded interim analysis after the first 276 subjects have been enrolled and treated for the 6-week double-blind treatment period. Based on the interim analysis, the study plans to adapt limited aspects of the design including: 1) to make no changes to the study; 2) to reassess sample size based on the interim analysis results.

This multi-centre trial will be conducted in North America and Europe. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 14 weeks. Participants will make 8 visits to the clinic, and will be contacted by telephone 30 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) recently performed a planned interim analysis of efficacy and safety data from this study. Upon completion of their review, the DMC advised that the unblinded interim data met the predefined efficacy criteria for study termination. No safety concerns were identified.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Week 6 [Baseline and Week 6]

      The MADRS is a clinician rated, validated and widely used scale to measure overall severity of depressive symptoms. It consists of 10-item rated from 0(normal) to 6(most abnormal) with a total score range from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate greater severity of symptoms.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) Total Score at Week 6 [Baseline and Week 6]

      The YMRS is a 11-item scale to assess manic symptoms. Four items are rated on a scale from 0 (symptom not present) to 8 (symptom extremely severe), and 7 items are rated on a scale from 0 to 4 with higher scores reflecting greater levels of mania. The YMRS total score is calculated as the sum of the 11 individual item scores and ranges from 0-60.

    2. Clinical Global Impression Scale-Improvement (CGI-I) Score [Week 6]

      The CGI-I assesses the clinician's impression of the participant's state of mental illness improvement and consists of 1 question for the investigator: "Compared to his condition at the start of the study, how much has this patient changed?" which is rated on a 7-point scale (1=very much improved; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change relative to baseline; 5=minimally worse; 6= much worse; 7=very much worse). In all cases, the assessment was independent of whether the rater believed the improvement was drug-related or not.

    3. Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity (CGI-S) to Week 6 [Baseline and Week 6]

      The CGI-S assesses the clinician's impression of the participant's current state of mental illness and consists of 1 question for the investigator: "Considering your total clinical experience with this particular population, how mentally ill is the patient at this time?" which is rated on a 7-point scale (1=normal, not ill at all; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill).

    4. Change From Baseline in the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self-Rated16 (QIDS-SR16) Total Score at Week 6 [Baseline and Week 6]

      The 16-item QIDS-SR16 version is a widely used validated scale designed to assess the severity of depressive symptoms. The participant was asked to rate the severity and frequency of specific symptoms present over the last 7 days. The QIDS-SR16 total scores range from 0 to 27, where higher scores indicate higher severity of symptoms.

    5. Change From Baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total Score at Week 6 [Baseline and Week 6]

      The SDS is a 3-item rating scale to assess functional impairment (panic, anxiety, phobic and depressive symptoms) over 3 inter-related domains (work/school, social life, and family life/home responsibilities) rated on an 11-point scale from 0 (not at all) to 10 (extremely) with a total score range from 0 to 30 where higher scores indicates greater severity of impairment.

    6. Change From Baseline in Quality of Life, Enjoyment, and Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF) Total Score at Week 6 [Baseline and Week 6]

      Q-LES-Q-SF is a self-administered, widely used 16-item questionnaire to assess the degree of enjoyment and satisfaction experienced by participants in various areas of daily functioning, such as social relationships, living/housing, physical health, medication, and global satisfaction. The questionnaire consists of 16 items rated by the participants on a 5-point scale. Of these, 14 items are summed to produce a total quality of life score with a maximum of 70 points. In addition, there are 2 global items that are scored individually. These items rate satisfaction with study medication and overall life satisfaction. The questionnaire is usually scored as a percent of the total possible score, with higher scores indicating better health status.

    7. Percentage of Participants With MADRS Response [Week 6]

      MADRS response is defined as greater than or equal to (>=) 50 percent (%) decrease in the MADRS total score from baseline. The MADRS is a clinician rated, validated and widely used scale to measure overall severity of depressive symptoms. It consists of 10-item rated from 0 (normal) to 6 (most abnormal) with a total score range from 0 to 60, where higher scores indicate greater severity of symptoms.

    8. Percentage of Participants With MADRS Remission [Week 6]

      MADRS remission is defined as a MADRS total score less than or equal to (<=) 10. The MADRS is a clinician rated, validated and widely used scale to measure overall severity of depressive symptoms. It consists of 10-item rated from 0 (normal) to 6 (most abnormal) with a total score range from 0 to 60, where higher scores indicate greater severity of symptoms.

    Title Change From Baseline in Quality of Life, Enjoyment, and Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF) Total Score at Week 6
    Description Q-LES-Q-SF is a self-administered, widely used 16-item questionnaire to assess the degree of enjoyment and satisfaction experienced by participants in various areas of daily functioning, such as social relationships, living/housing, physical health, medication, and global satisfaction. The questionnaire consists of 16 items rated by the participants on a 5-point scale. Of these, 14 items are summed to produce a total quality of life score with a maximum of 70 points. In addition, there are 2 global items that are scored individually. These items rate satisfaction with study medication and overall life satisfaction. The questionnaire is usually scored as a percent of the total possible score, with higher scores indicating better health status.

    Title Percentage of Participants With MADRS Response
    Description MADRS response is defined as greater than or equal to (>=) 50 percent (%) decrease in the MADRS total score from baseline. The MADRS is a clinician rated, validated and widely used scale to measure overall severity of depressive symptoms. It consists of 10-item rated from 0 (normal) to 6 (most abnormal) with a total score range from 0 to 60, where higher scores indicate greater severity of symptoms.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Treatment-emergent adverse events are adverse events that started after the first dose of double-blind study drug and no more than 30 days for a serious adverse event after the last dose of double-blind study drug.
