    Abstract Objective: This phase 3 trial evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of low- and high-dose cariprazine in patients meeting DSM-IV-TR criteria for acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder.
    Method: This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed/flexible-dose study was conducted from February 2010 to December 2011. Patients were randomly assigned to placebo, cariprazine 3-6 mg/d, or cariprazine 6-12 mg/d for 3 weeks of double-blind treatment. Primary and secondary efficacy parameters were change from baseline to week 3 in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) total score and Clinical Global Impressions-Severity of Illness (CGI-S) score, respectively. Post hoc analysis examined change from baseline to week 3 in YMRS single items.
    Results: A total of 497 patients were randomized; 74% completed the study. The least squares mean difference (LSMD) for change from baseline to week 3 in YMRS total score was statistically significant in favor of both cariprazine groups versus placebo (LSMD [95% CI]: 3-6 mg/d, -6.1 [-8.4 to -3.8]; 6-12 mg/d, -5.9 [-8.2, -3.6]; P < .001 [both]). Both cariprazine treatment groups showed statistically significant superiority to placebo on all 11 YMRS single items (all comparisons, P < .05). Change from baseline in CGI-S scores was statistically significantly greater in both cariprazine groups compared with placebo (LSMD [95% CI]: 3-6 mg/d, -0.6 [-0.9 to -0.4]; 6-12 mg/d, -0.6 [-0.9 to -0.3]; P < .001 [both]). The most common (≥ 5% and twice the rate of placebo) treatment-related adverse events for cariprazine were akathisia (both groups) and nausea, constipation, and tremor (6-12 mg/d only).
    Conclusions: Results of this study demonstrated that both low- and high-dose cariprazine were more effective than placebo in the treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder. Cariprazine was generally well tolerated, although the incidence of akathisia was greater with cariprazine than with placebo.

    Abstract OBJECTIVE: To assess preliminarily the effectiveness of sodium oxybate in binge eating disorder. METHOD: This was an open-label, prospective, 16-week, flexible dose study of sodium oxybate in binge eating disorder. The primary outcome was binge eating episode frequency. RESULTS: Twelve individuals received sodium oxybate, 10 completed at least one postbaseline evaluation, and five completed the study. Mean dose at endpoint was 7.1 (2.0) g/day. Sodium oxybate was associated with significant reductions in frequency of binge days and binge episodes, as well as measures of clinical severity, eating pathology, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, food cravings, body mass index, and body weight. Nine participants had remission of binge eating and five lost ≥5% of their baseline weight; all five of the latter participants had remission of binge eating. DISCUSSION: In this open-label trial, sodium oxybate was effective in binge eating disorder, but associated with high a discontinuation rate. © 2010 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Abstract Background: Anxiety disorders are among the most commonly co-occurring psychiatric syndromes with bipolar disorder. The presence of co-occurring anxiety disorders has important prognostic and treatment implications.
    Method: Using the PaperChase database augmented by a manual search of the literature, we identified 122 publications that consisted of reports regarding pharmacologic agents used in the treatment of bipolar disorder also assessing the efficacy of these agents in anxiety disorders, treatment studies of patients with comorbid bipolar disorder and specific anxiety disorders, and studies of novel antiepileptic agents in the treatment of anxiety symptoms or disorders.
    Results: No randomized controlled trials have been conducted in patients with bipolar disorder and any co-occurring anxiety disorder. Among agents with antimanic or mood-stabilizing effects, evidence of efficacy from placebo-controlled trials exists for valproate in the treatment of panic disorder; lamotrigine, risperidone, and olanzapine in posttraumatic stress disorder; and risperidone, olanzapine, and quetiapine as adjunctive treatment in selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder. Antidepressants from virtually every class have efficacy in the treatment of most anxiety disorders but present the challenge of minimizing switch risk when used in conjunction with a moodstabilizer. Among novel antiepileptic agents without proven thymoleptic properties studied in randomized controlled trials in anxiety disorders, gabapentin and pregabalin had efficacy in the treatment of social anxiety disorder, and pregabalin in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder.
    Conclusion: In the absence of controlled trials in patients with comorbid bipolar and anxiety disorders, the initial goals of treatment include mood stabilization and selection of thymoleptic agents with efficacy in the co-occurring anxiety disorder.

    Abstract Increased early-onset bipolar illness was seen in the US compared with the Netherlands and Germany (abbreviated here as Europe), but other clinical characteristics, medication use, and treatment response have not been systematically explored. Outpatients with bipolar disorder were treated naturalistically and followed prospectively at four sites in the US and three in Europe. Data and clinical characteristics were collected from patient questionnaires, and medication usage and good-to-excellent response to treatment for at least 6 months ascertained from daily clinician ratings on the National Institutes of Mental Health-Life Chart Method. Almost all clinical characteristics earlier associated with a poor treatment response were more prevalent in the US than in Europe, including early onset, environmental adversity, rapid cycling, more than 20 prior episodes, comorbid anxiety and substance abuse disorders, and a positive parental history for an affective disorder. Lithium was used more frequently in Europe than in the US and had a higher rate of success, whereas valproate was used more in the US, with a trend toward higher success in Europe. Antidepressants were used more in the US, but had extremely low success rates. Many other agents were deployed differently on the two continents, but success rates were consistently lower in the US than in Europe. In conclusion, clinical characteristics and patterns of medication usage and effectiveness differed markedly in the two continents suggesting the need for uncovering explanations and considering the two populations as heterogeneous in the future pharmacological studies.

    Abstract Background: The many attempts to identify genes for bipolar disorder (BD) have met with limited success, which has generally been attributed to genetic heterogeneity and small gene effects. However, it is also possible that the categorical phenotypes used in genetic studies of BD are not the most informative or biologically relevant. We have explored aspects of temperament as quantitative phenotypes for BD through the use of the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego Auto-questionnaire (TEMPS-A), which is designed to assess lifelong, milder aspects of bipolar symptomatology and defines five temperaments: hyperthymic, dysthymic, cyclothymic, irritable, and anxious.
    Methods: We compared temperament scores between diagnostic groups and assessed heritability in a sample of 101 families collected for genetic studies of BD. A genome-wide SNP linkage study was then performed in the subset of 51 families for which genetic data was available.
    Results: Significant group differences were observed between BD subjects, their first-degree relatives, and independent controls, and all five temperaments were found to be significantly heritable, with heritabilities ranging from 21% for the hyperthymic to 52% for the irritable temperaments. Suggestive evidence for linkage was observed for the hyperthymic (chromosomes 1q44, 2p16, 6q16, and 14q23), dysthymic (chromosomes 3p21 and 13q34), and irritable (chromosome 6q24) temperaments.
    Limitations: The relatively small size of our linkage sample likely limited our ability to reach genome-wide significance in this study.
    Conclusions: While not genome-wide significant, these results suggest that aspects of temperament may prove useful in the identification of genes underlying BD susceptibility.

    Abstract Background: The many attempts that have been made to identify genes for bipolar disorder (BD) have met with limited success, which may reflect an inadequacy of diagnosis as an informative and biologically relevant phenotype for genetic studies. Here we have explored aspects of personality as quantitative phenotypes for bipolar disorder through the use of the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), which assesses personality in seven dimensions. Four temperament dimensions are assessed: novelty seeking (NS), harm avoidance (HA), reward dependence (RD), and persistence (PS). Three character dimensions are also included: self-directedness (SD), cooperativeness (CO), and self-transcendence (ST).
    Methods: We compared personality scores between diagnostic groups and assessed heritability in a sample of 101 families collected for genetic studies of BD. A genome-wide SNP linkage analysis was then performed in the subset of 51 families for which genetic data was available.
    Results: Significant group differences were observed between BD subjects, their first-degree relatives, and independent controls for all but RD and PS, and all but HA and RD were found to be significantly heritable in this sample. Linkage analysis of the heritable dimensions produced several suggestive linkage peaks for NS (chromosomes 7q21 and 10p15), PS (chromosomes 6q16, 12p13, and 19p13), and SD (chromosomes 4q35, 8q24, and 18q12).
    Limitations: The relatively small size of our linkage sample likely limited our ability to reach genome-wide significance in this study.
    Conclusions: While not genome-wide significant, these results suggest that aspects of personality may prove useful in the identification of genes underlying BD susceptibility.

    Abstract Background: Most bipolar treatment guidelines recommend that acutely effective therapy be continued as maintenance treatment, unless contraindicated. No published studies have statistically evaluated the relationship between the outcomes in maintenance treatment and the principal acute agent.
    Methods: Post-hoc analysis of prophylactic results obtained during a 12-month maintenance study in recently manic patients assessed the relationship between open treatment and randomized maintenance treatment. Patients were grouped according to mood stabilizer (if any) received on the last day of the open-label, stabilization phase (divalproex, lithium, or no mood stabilizer), and the mood stabilizer to which they were randomly assigned in the double-blind, maintenance phase (divalproex, lithium, or placebo).
    Results: Patients treated with open-phase divalproex and randomized to divalproex maintenance therapy had a significantly longer period before development of a mood episode compared to those randomized to either placebo (Log-rank, p=0.05) or lithium (Log-rank, p=0.04), and better tolerability than those randomized to lithium. Patients treated with open-phase lithium showed no treatment-related differences in time to a mood episode after being randomized to lithium, divalproex, or placebo and tolerability was comparable in all groups.
    Limitations: Open treatment was selected by treating physicians, contributing to possible selection bias. More patients were randomized to divalproex than to lithium or placebo. The study was therefore better powered to detect divalproex effects.
    Conclusions: Acute response to divalproex predicted both superior prophylactic response and tolerability to divalproex, than to placebo (efficacy) and to lithium (efficacy and tolerability). Results could have implications for both clinical practice and clinical trial design.

    Abstract Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a serious and potentially fatal adverse effect of antipsychotic drugs. The diagnosis of NMS commonly requires core symptoms of hyperthermia and muscle rigidity. Although diagnostic criteria for NMS have been established and are widely accepted and used, it should be recognized that atypical presentations pose a diagnostic dilemma, as hyperthermia and/or muscle rigidity may be absent or develop slowly over several days, leading to impairment or a significant delay in diagnosis and treatment. Evidence from case reports and retrospective evaluations supports a concept of atypical NMS, particularly with regard to treatment with atypical antipsychotics. However, it remains unclear whether these atypical presentations represent early or impending NMS. Furthermore, it is unclear whether dysfunction in other neurotransmitter systems, in addition to dopamine, may be involved in the pathogenesis of NMS induced by atypical antipsychotics. In patients receiving any antipsychotic, clinicians should carefully evaluate any features of NMS and should not prematurely exclude a diagnosis of NMS in cases where severe rigidity or hyperthermia is not initially apparent.
