To assess the effectiveness and tolerability of ziprasidone for treating pediatric mania.
This was an eight-week, open-label, prospective study of ziprasidone monotherapy (57.3 +/- 33.9 mg/day) in 21 bipolar youth [manic, mixed, or bipolar not otherwise specified (NOS); 6-17 years old]. Assessments included the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement scale (CGI-I), and Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS). Adverse events were assessed through spontaneous self-reports, vital signs, weight monitoring, and laboratory analysis.
Fourteen of the 21 youth (67%) completed the study. Ziprasidone treatment was associated with clinically and statistically significant improvement in mean YMRS scores (-10.8 +/- 8.4, p < 0.0001) and 57% had a CGI-I <or=2 at endpoint. Ziprasidone was well tolerated with no statistically significant increase in body weight (0.6 +/- 0.4 kg, p = 0.2) or QTc interval (-3.7 +/- 4.7, p = 0.5).
Open-label ziprasidone treatment was associated with a significant short-term improvement of symptoms of pediatric bipolar disorder. Future placebo-controlled, double-blind studies are warranted.
评估齐拉西酮治疗儿童躁狂症的有效性和耐受性。
这是一项为期八周的开放性前瞻性研究,对21名双相情感障碍青少年[躁狂、混合或未另作说明的双相情感障碍(NOS);6至17岁]采用齐拉西酮单药治疗(57.3±33.9毫克/天)。评估包括青年躁狂评定量表(YMRS)、临床总体印象改善量表(CGI-I)和简明精神病评定量表(BPRS)。通过自发自我报告、生命体征、体重监测和实验室分析评估不良事件。
21名青少年中有14名(67%)完成了研究。齐拉西酮治疗使平均YMRS评分在临床和统计学上有显著改善(-10.8±8.4,p<0.0001),57%的患者在研究终点时CGI-I≤2。齐拉西酮耐受性良好,体重(0.6±0.4千克,p = 0.2)或QTc间期(-3.7±4.7,p = 0.5)无统计学显著增加。
开放性齐拉西酮治疗与儿童双相情感障碍症状的显著短期改善相关。未来有必要进行安慰剂对照的双盲研究。
