Could a new pill ease bipolar depression in young people?
NCT ID NCT06372964
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether the drug lumateperone can safely reduce symptoms of depression in children and teenagers (ages 10 to 17) with bipolar I or II disorder who are currently in a major depressive episode. Participants receive either lumateperone or a placebo daily for several weeks, and researchers measure changes in depression severity using a standard rating scale. The goal is to see if lumateperone offers a new treatment option for young people with bipolar depression.
