Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75 with bipolar I disorder experiencing a manic or mixed episode, possibly with psychotic symptoms.

Excluded are those with other primary psychiatric diagnoses, severe substance use disorders (except nicotine), first-time manic episodes, or significant suicidal risk.

It's a multi-center trial where participants are randomly assigned to either the medication or placebo without knowing which one they receive (double-blind). The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of Lumateperone in acute treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
While not specified here, common side effects of antipsychotics like Lumateperone may include drowsiness, weight gain, dry mouth, restlessness and gastrointestinal issues. Each individual might experience side effects differently.
