Pramipexole in Bipolar Disorder: Targeting Cognition (PRAM-BD)
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Pramipexole and Placebo for Bipolar Disorder. Completed, enrolled 103 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
Converging evidence suggests that patients with bipolar disorder suffer from deficits in neurocognitive functioning that persist, despite remission of acute affective symptoms. These impairments contribute directly to functional disability, highlighting the need for interventions above and beyond standard treatments in order to achieve a full inter-episode recovery. The current study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of a dopamine agonist (pramipexole), on these persistent cognitive abnormalities in euthymic bipolar patients using a placebo-controlled, adjunctive, 12-week trial design.
