A study to evaluate efficacy and safety of flexibly dosed Lurasidone in children and adolescents with bipolar I depression
This is a randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of flexibly dosed lurasidone (20 - 80 mg/day) for 6 weeks compared with placebo in children and adolescent subjects with depression associated with Bipolar I Disorder (bipolar depression).

Change in the Children's Depression Rating Scale, Revised (CDRS-R) Total Score as Compared to Placebo From Double-Blind Baseline to Week 6 (Day 43) Baseline
CDRS-R total score: changes from baseline over time - mixed model for repeated measures. LS Mean and SE for change from baseline are based on Mixed Model for Repeated Measures. The CDRS-R total score ranges from 17-113. In general, higher values of CDRS-R total score represent greater severity of illness. The primary efficacy endpoint will be assessed between the placebo and treatment group.
Time frame: baseline, Week 6
Change From Baseline in Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS) Score as Compared to Placebo.
PARS score: changes from baseline over time - mixed model for repeated measures-LS Mean and SE for change from baseline are based on Mixed Model for Repeated Measures.The PARS is a clinician-rated instrument for assessing over time the severity of anxiety symptoms associated with common DSM-IV anxiety disorders in children ages 6-17 years. The PARS is administered separately to the subject and to the caregiver. The instrument has 2 sections. The first section includes a 50-item symptom checklist, which the clinician rates as present or absent during the past week. The second section is comprised of 7 severity impairment items reflecting the severity/impairment of all symptoms endorsed in Section 1 of the PARS (during the past week). Each question is answered on a 0-5 Likert scale (0 for none, and 1-5 for minimal to extreme) with alternative responses of 8=Not Applicable and 9=Does Not Know. The PAR total score over all 7 questions ranges in value from 0 to 35.
Time frame: baseline and week 6
Change From Baseline in Pediatric Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (PQ-LES-Q) Score as Compared to Placebo.
PQ-LES-Q percentage maximum possible score: changes from baseline over time - mixed model for repeated measures LS Mean and SE for change from baseline are based on Mixed Model for Repeated Measures

Change From Baseline in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (ADHD-RS) Score as Compared to Placebo.
ADHD-RS total score: changes from baseline over time -ANCOVA-LS Mean and SE for change from baseline are based on ANCOVA. The Pediatric Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (PQ-LES-Q is a 15-item self-report measure of the degree of enjoyment and satisfaction in various areas of daily living, based on the content of the Short From of the Q-LES-Q. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale, ranging from 1 (very poor) to 5 (very good). The first 14 items are the same as the General Activities section of the regular Q-LES-Q form and are used to compute the raw score. The PQ-LES-Q-SF percentage maximum possible score is calculated as follows:% Max = 100 × (Raw Score - Minimum Score) / (Maximum Score - Minimum Score),where the Minimum Score equals 14 and the Maximum Score equals 70, and the % maximum possible score can range from 0% to 100%. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.

Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impressions-Bipolar-Severity (CGI-BP-S) Depression Score
Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impressions-Bipolar-Severity (CGI-BP-S) depression score changes from baseline over time - mixed model for repeated measures. LS Mean and SE for change from baseline are based on Mixed Model for Repeated Measures.The CGI-BP-S is a three-question clinician-rated assessment of the subject's current illness state (depression, mania, and overall) using a 7-point scale (1(normal, not ill) to 7 (very severely ill)) for each question, where a higher score is associated with greater illness severity.
