Summary

This Phase 3 study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of azetukalner, a daily pill, in 400 adults with bipolar I or II depression who previously completed a related study. Participants take the drug for 52 weeks, and researchers track side effects, mood changes, and quality of life. The goal is to see if azetukalner can be a safe, long-term treatment option.
