Ketogenic Diet for Bipolar Disorder
Los Angeles, California
The present study is an open trial of ketogenic diets for adolescents and young adults (ages 12-21 yrs) in the depressive or mixed phases of bipolar disorder (BD). The investigators aim to determine whether combining standard of care pharmacological treatment for bipolar spectrum disorders with a 16-week ketogenic diet is well-tolerated and associated with improvements in depression, inflammatory and metabolic indicators, and executive functioning over the study period.
The experimental treatment in this study is a 16-week full ketogenic diet. Four study sites (UCLA, U Cincinnati, U Colorado and U Pittsburgh) will recruit 80 total youth (20 each) from bipolar specialty clinics. All youth eligible for the ketogenic therapy will be provided with the ketogenic diet and standard of care pharmacological treatment. During the diet therapy youth will be seen by a study child/adolescent psychiatrist at least once a month (and more frequently when needed), with the psychiatrist recommending and providing side effects monitoring and pharmacotherapy as clinically indicated.
The youth and caregivers will also meet with an expert dietitian who will coach all youth on maintaining the ketogenic diet (low carbs, high fats, medium protein) and making sure the child is tolerating the diet and getting enough liquid and nutrients, following the practice guidelines of the International Ketogenic Diet Study Group for treating youth. All youth and involved caregivers will also be provided will at least one motivational enhancement session to support them in goal setting and completion of the study elements.
Throughout the study the investigators will assess metabolic (e.g., blood ketones, HOMA-IR) and inflammatory indicators (e.g., C-reactive protein), both for safety reasons and to assess correlates of symptomatic change. Independent evaluators will assess youth every month regarding their symptoms (depression, mania, anxiety, psychosis), psychosocial functioning, and quality of life.
The investigators anticipate that the pilot will transpire over 24 months and be an important step toward establishing feasibility and acceptability of ketogenic therapy for this population, not only in terms of diet administration and compliance but also for obtaining symptomatic, metabolic and inflammatory measurements.

(Bay Area Study) Intermittent Fasting for Bipolar Disorder
Berkeley, California
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how level of adherence with time-restricted eating (TRE) predicts change in diurnal rhythms (as measured using the amplitude of diurnal peripheral clock gene expression), and how those changes predict lower mania and depressive symptoms, and downstream improvements in quality of life. The effects of diurnal amplitude of clock gene expression is expected to remain significant when controlling for change in glucose tolerance and inflammation. Participants will be enrolled who are already receiving medication treatment for bipolar disorder. Participants will complete daily measures of eating, sleep and mood for two weeks, and then will be assigned to follow TRE for eight weeks. Symptoms and Quality of Life will be measured at baseline and during and after the food plan.

Deep Brain Stimulation for Bipolar Depression
San Francisco, California
Neurons are specialized types of cells that are responsible for carrying out the functions of the brain. Neurons communicate with electrical signals. In diseases such as major depression this electrical communication can go awry. One way to change brain function is using electrical stimulation to help alter the communication between groups of neurons in the brain.
The purpose of this study is to test a personalized approach to brain stimulation as an intervention for bipolar depression The study researchers will use a surgically implanted device to measure each individual's brain activity related to his/her depression. The researchers will then use small electrical impulses to alter that brain activity and measure whether these changes help reduce depression symptoms. This study is intended for patients with major depression whose symptoms have not been adequately treated with currently available therapies.
The device used in this study is called the NeuroPace Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS) System. It is currently FDA approved to treat patients with epilepsy. The study will test whether personalized responsive neurostimulation can safely and effectively treat bipolar depression.

Olanzapine for Schizophrenia
Tacoma, Washington
Atypical antipsychotic medications, such as olanzapine, cause metabolic side effects, including weight gain, extra fat around the middle of the body, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol. One of the mechanisms by which these medications may cause these effects is by reducing plasma melatonin. This study is a pilot project to evaluate 1) the effect of olanzapine on melatonin secretion levels and 2) the effect of melatonin on olanzapine-induced changes in melatonin secretion in patients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective, or bipolar disorder.

Deep Brain Stimulation for Bipolar Disorder
Seattle, Washington
This study is only enrolling at Baylor College of Medicine. The other research locations listed serve to support data analysis only.
This research study is to investigate the use of technology called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to potentially improve Treatment-Resistant Bipolar Depression (TRBD) symptoms in patients with severe cases. DBS involves the surgical implantation of leads and electrodes into specific areas of the brain, which are thought to influence the disease. A pack implanted in the chest, called the neurotransmitter, keeps the electrical current coursing to the brain through a wire that connects the neurotransmitter and electrodes. It is believed DBS may restore balance to dysfunctional brain circuitry implicated in TRBD. The goal of this study is to enhance current approaches to DBS targeting in the brain and to use a novel approach to find a better and more reliable system for TRBD treatment.
Its important for participants to understand that this is an investigational study where there could be a lack of effectiveness in improving TRBD symptoms. There may be no directly benefit from taking part in this study.
This study is expected to last 20 months and involves 3 main steps.
1. Medical, psychiatric, and cognitive evaluations.
2. Implantation of a brain stimulation system.
3. Follow up after implantation of device, including programming, recording, and psychiatric testing.
There are risks and benefits to this study which need to be considered when deciding to participate or not. Some of the risks are from surgery, the DBS device and programming, the tests involved, and potential loss of confidentiality, as well as other unknown risks.
Some of the more serious risks involved in this study and the percentage that they occur:
1. Bleeding inside the Brain (1 to 2 percent).
2. Infection from the procedures (3 percent)
3. Seizure caused from the procedures (1.2 percent)
However, the benefit of this study is that it may help relieve or decrease TRBD symptoms. This form of treatment has shown to reduce symptom severity in other cases. This could potentially improve quality of life and activities in daily routines. There is also a potential benefit to society in that the data the investigators will obtain from this study may help increase the understanding of the mechanisms underlying TRBD symptoms, as well as enhanced Deep Brain Stimulation techniques.
Study participation is expected to last 20 months from the time the DBS device is activated and should include approximately 23 visits. These visits also include 8 separate, 24 hour stays at the Menninger NeuroBehvaioral Monitoring Unit (NBU). These 24-hour sessions will occur at multiple points throughout the study (1 week prior to surgery, the week preceding device activation, the week following activation, then after 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months). Participants will need to stay locally for the week of the NBU stay (typically Monday through Friday).
Study visits will include clinician administered assessments and questionnaires, subject reported assessments, neuropsychological testing, and mobile behavioral assessments which will occur around 23 visits over the course of 20 months.

Measurement-Based Care for Bipolar Disorder
Seattle, Washington
Measurement based care (MBC) is an emerging best practice involving serial assessment of clinical status and using those findings to inform clinical decision making. However, there is a lack of research on how to best apply principles of MBC for patients with bipolar disorder. The proposed project goal is to assess the feasibility of comparing effectiveness of measurement-based care (MBC) to enhanced usual care in a randomized trial. Many individuals with bipolar disorder experience fluctuating depressive and manic symptoms which can impair functioning and reduce quality of life. The main hypothesis is that treatment adjustments will occur more often in the MBC group than the enhanced usual care group. The exploratory hypothesis is that symptoms of bipolar disorder will decrease more in the MBC group than the enhanced usual care group.

Why Other Patients Applied
"I have tried many different drugs in the past. I just want to find something that works. I just want to be happy and content with life. I'm always having "episodes" where I just shut down and cry and get mad. I need to find a drug that helps me live a happier life. I have everything I ever wanted, yet still can't stay happy. Hopefully this trial helps me and other people in these situations. "
