A Single-Blind, Randomized, Naturalistic Pilot Study, Comparison of Divalproex ER and Quetiapine for Adults With Acute Mania or Mixed Episodes

NCT00397020 Phase 4 COMPLETED Results posted

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of quetiapine versus divalproex extended-release administered in a rapid oral loading fashion in the treatment of acute episodes of mania or mixed mania in bipolar disorder. Three hypotheses will be tested: Hypothesis 1: treatment ( 3 weeks) of divalproex extended-release is similar to quetiapine in the symptomatic control of mania or mixed mania Hypothesis 2: divalproex extended-release orally loaded may produce significant improvements in symptoms of mania sooner than quetiapine Hypothesis 3: divalproex extended-release may produce significantly less sedation
