Study Summary

The investigators will conduct an 8-week, non-randomized, open-label study of brexpiprazole in 20 persons with bipolar I or II disorder, depressed mood state. Primary aim will be to assess if brexpiprazole is associated with a reduction in depressive symptom severity using the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). Secondary aims will include an assessment of the following in patients with bipolar disorder taking brexpiprazole: manic symptoms, cognition, safety and tolerability of brexpiprazole, and quality of life. Subjects will be discontinued from the study if any of the following conditions occurs: change in diagnosis to other than bipolar I or II disorder, development of active suicidal or homicidal ideation with plan and intent, worsening of mood symptoms, that in the opinion of the investigators requires discontinuation, pregnancy, development of severe life-threatening medical condition, involuntary psychiatric hospitalization or incarceration.

Primary Outcome

The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale is used to assess depressive symptom severity. There are 10 items and each item is rated from 0 to 6 (increasing severity) based on the assessment of symptoms within the past 7 days. Scoring is assisted by descriptive anchors that serve as useful guides at 0,2,4, 8. Odd numbers (1,3,5) between the descriptive anchors are also meant to be scored. Highest possible MADRS score is 60. Lowest possible MADRS score is 0. MADRS is scored by taking the sum of
