Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of lurasidone in children and adolescents with bipolar depression.Method: Patients 10 to 17 years old with a DSM-5 diagnosis of bipolar I depression were randomized to 6 weeks of double-blind treatment with flexible doses of lurasidone 20 to 80 mg/day. The primary endpoint was change from baseline to week 6 in the Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R) total score, evaluated by a mixed-model repeated-measures analysis.Results: A total of 347 patients were randomized and received at least 1 dose of lurasidone (n = 175; mean age 14.2 years; mean dose 33.6 mg/day) or placebo (n = 172; mean age 14.3 years). At week 6, treatment with lurasidone was associated with statistically significant improvement compared with placebo in CDRS-R total score (-21.0 versus-15.3; p < .0001; effect size 0.45). Lurasidone also was associated with statistically significant improvement in the Clinical Global Impression Bipolar Severity depression score (key secondary measure) and in measures of anxiety, quality of life, and global functioning. Study completion rates were 92.0% in the lurasidone group and 89.7% in the placebo group; discontinuation rates due to adverse events were the same for the 2 groups (1.7%). The 2 most common adverse events on lurasidone were nausea and somnolence. Treatment with lurasidone was associated with few effects on weight and metabolic parameters.Conclusion: In this placebo-controlled study, mono therapy with lurasidone, in the dose range of 20 to 80 mg/day, significantly decreased depressive symptoms in children and adolescents with bipolar depression. Lurasidone was well tolerated, with minimal effects on weight and metabolic parameters.
