Summary

This is a prospective pharmacogenomics study of mood stabilizer response. The goal of this work is to identify genes associated with good response of patients with bipolar disorder to two commonly used mood stabilizing agents, lithium and valproate.

Clinical Details

Official title: Pharmacogenomics of Mood Stabilizer Response in Bipolar Disorder (PGBD)

Study design: Time Perspective: Prospective

Primary outcome: Time to relapse

Detailed description: All subjects meeting study inclusion criteria will be started on lithium. Those that fail lithium will be crossed over to valproate (VPA). Those that also fail VPA will be again crossed-over to a standardized treatment as usual (TAU) arm. Subjects who are eligible for the study must be at least 18 years of age and have been diagnosed or are thought to have bipolar I disorder with at least one episode of mood instability in the last 12 months. They must also be eligible to take lithium and, if female and of child bearing age, agree to use adequate birth control methods and to inform their doctor of their plans to become pregnant.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Any phase of bipolar I disorder including, depressive, manic, hypomanic, mixed, or

baseline/euthymic/not symptomatic;

- Lithium naïve patients and inadequately past lithium treated patients will be

required to have had at least one affective episode in the last 12 months meeting DSM-IV criteria. Current lithium treated patients (CLTPs) will be stable on lithium monotherapy and will be exempted from this criterion if they have had no mood episodes meeting DSM-IV criteria in the last 6 months;

- Both outpatients and inpatients will be permitted to enroll into this study;

- Able to give informed consent, in the judgment of the investigator;

- Age greater than or equal to 18 years;

- Women of child bearing potential agree to inform their doctor at the earliest

possible time of their plans to conceive, and to use adequate contraception (e. g. oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, barrier methods, or total abstinence from intercourse), and to understand the risks of lithium to the fetus and infant. Depo Provera is acceptable if it is started 3 months prior to enrollment. Exclusion Criteria:

- Unwilling or unable to comply with study requirements;

- Renal impairment (serum creatinine >1. 5 mg/dL);

- Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) over >20% above the upper normal limit

(participants maintained on thyroid medication must be euthyroid for at least 3 months before Visit 1;

- Other contraindication to lithium;

- Currently in crisis such that inpatient hospitalization or other crisis management

should take priority;

- Subjects with alcohol/drug dependence who meet criteria for physical dependence

requiring acute detoxification;

- Pregnant or breastfeeding;

- Women of child-bearing potential who aren't able to agree to the requirements

specified above;

- Those who have participated in a clinical trial of an investigational drug within the

past 1 month;

- Inability to agree to comply with the visit schedule or study procedures;

- History of lithium toxicity, not due to mismanagement or overdose that required

treatment;

- Current unstable medical condition.
