Lumateperone for the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder With Mixed Features or Bipolar Depression With Mixed Features
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifer NCT04285515) evaluated efficacy and safety of lumateperone to treat major depressive episodes (MDEs) associated with major depressive disorder (MDD) or bipolar depression with mixed features. PROCEDURES: Patients (18-75 years) with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5)-defined MDD with mixed features (n = 185) or bipolar disorder with mixed features (n = 200) and experiencing an MDE were randomized 1:1 to 6-week placebo (n = 195) or lumateperone 42 mg (n = 193). Primary and key secondary endpoints were change from baseline to day 43 in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale Total and Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity (CGI-S) scores in 3 populations with combined MDD/bipolar depression, individual MDD, and individual bipolar depression. Safety included adverse events (AEs), extrapyramidal symptoms, and laboratory parameters. RESULTS: Lumateperone met the primary endpoint, significantly improving Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale total score at day 43 in populations with combined MDD/bipolar depression (least squares mean difference vs placebo [LSMD], -5.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], -7.60,-3.84; effect size [ES], -0.64; P < 0.0001), MDD (LSMD, -5.9; 95% CI, -8.61,-3.29; ES, -0.67; P < 0.0001), and bipolar depression (LSMD, -5.7; 95% CI, -8.29,-3.05; ES, -0.64; P < 0.0001). Lumateperone significantly improved CGI-S and Young Mania Rating Scale total scores at day 43 in these populations. Lumateperone was well-tolerated. Treatment-emergent AEs (≥5%, twice placebo) in the combined population were somnolence (placebo, 1.6%; lumateperone, 12.5%), dizziness (placebo, 2.1%; lumateperone, 12.0%), and nausea (placebo, 1.6%; lumateperone, 9.9%). There were no mania/hypomania treatment-emergent AEs with lumateperone and minimal extrapyramidal symptoms or metabolic risk. CONCLUSIONS: Lumateperone 42 mg significantly improved depression symptoms and disease severity and was generally safe and well-tolerated in patients with MDD or bipolar depression with mixed features.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
