Placebo Comparator: 1 |
Drug: placebo oral capsules
Placebo matching the oral ziprasidone capsules of 20,40, 60 and 80 mg in strength. Subjects will be dosed for 4 weeks using a flexible dosing design. Dosing is stratified based on weight, with subjects <45 kg having a target dose range of 60-80 mg/day and subjects >/= 45 kg having a target dose range of 120-180 mg/day. |
Experimental: ziprasidone |
Drug: ziprasidone oral capsules
Oral ziprasidone capsules of 20,40, 60 and 80 mg in strength. Subjects will be dosed for 4 weeks using a flexible dosing design. Dosing is stratified based on weight, with subjects <45 kg having a target dose range of 60-80 mg/day and subjects >/= 45 kg having a target dose range of 120-180 mg/day. |
- Change from Baseline in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) to week 4 [ Time Frame: Week 4 ]YMRS: an 11-item scale that measures the severity of manic episodes. Four items are rated on a scale from 0 (symptom not present) to 8 (symptom extremely severe). The remaining items are rated on a scale from 0 (symptom not present) to 4 (symptom extremely severe). The YMRS total score ranges from 0 to 60.
- Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI S) score change from baseline. [ Time Frame: Weeks 1,2,3 and 4 ]CGI-S: 7-point clinician rated scale to assess severity of participant's current illness state; range: 1 (normal - not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). Higher score = more affected
- Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) score [ Time Frame: Weeks 1,2,3 and 4 ]CGI-I: 7-point clinician rated scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), or 3 (minimally improved) on the scale. Higher score = more affected
- Change from Baseline in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) at Weeks 1,2 and 3 [ Time Frame: Weeks 1,2 and 3 ]YMRS: an 11-item scale that measures the severity of manic episodes. Four items are rated on a scale from 0 (symptom not present) to 8 (symptom extremely severe). The remaining items are rated on a scale from 0 (symptom not present) to 4 (symptom extremely severe). The YMRS total score ranges from 0 to 60.
