Research summary
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, parallel-group study to assess the cognitive effects of Lurasidone (the study drug) in Bipolar I and II patients (manic depression) who are in remission from an episode. Participants who show cognitive impairment at the screening visit will be enrolled into the study and randomised at the baseline visit to receive either Lurasidone or Placebo adjunctive therapy in a 1:1 ratio for 6 weeks.
Participants will have 4 clinical appointments and 3 telephone assessments during the study. A follow-up telephone interview will be conducted two weeks after the final study visit to assess safety.
