Study 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.

Primary Outcome

MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) as measure of Neurocognitive/Functional Measures is a standardized battery designed to measure cognitive functioning in people with schizophrenia. The MCCB is represented as a composite T score. This T-score scale has a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10, where higher scores reflect better performance.
