Registered outcomes1

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Expression of ~45 Molecules in Blood Cells of Patients With Bipolar I or II Disorder Being Treated With LithiumBaseline and Week 16
Molecule expression is measured as a function of relative fluorescence intensity. The number derives from a photomultiplier tube which essentially counts photons. Higher numbers mean a higher intensity. The values in the results tables represents change in fluorescence intensity between Baseline and Week 16 across various molecules of interest and compares responders (those who experience a \>=50% decrease in mood symptom severity between baseline and week 16) and non responders (those who did NOT experience a \>=50% decrease in mood symptom severity between baseline and week 16). The rows represent the various molecules that were analyzed.

PRIMARYChange in Expression of ~45 Molecules in Blood Cells of Patients With Bipolar I or II Disorder Being Treated With LithiumBaseline and Week 16
While we planned to analyze \~45 molecules of interest, poor quality of antibodies to some proteins \& financial limitations limited us to only 28 proteins. The number of participants analyzed for protein expression differs from baseline characteristic and varies below as not all subjects had high enough levels of a particular protein to be analyzed.
