Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Open-label Phase

- 18 years of age or older

- Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Ed., Text Revision
(DSM-IV-TR) diagnosis of bipolar I disorder

•= 1 manic, mixed manic, or depressed episode in past 2 years

- YMRS or MADRS total score = 14 if on lithium or divalproex; = 18 if not on lithium or
divalproex

Double-blind Phase



- Subjects must achieve consistent clinical stability, defined as total scores = 12 on
the YMRS and MADRS over at least 12 weeks, with the allowance of two excursions (YMRS
and/or MADRS total scores up to 13 or 14, respectively) except during the last 4 weeks
before randomization
Minimum age
18 Years

Key exclusion criteria
Open Label Phase

- Diagnosis of an Axis I or Axis II disorder, other than bipolar I disorder, that is the
primary focus of treatment within 3 months of screening

- Subjects for whom diagnostic agreement between the Investigator and United BioSource
Corporation (Boston) (UBC) cannot be reached

- Ultra-fast rapid cycling (defined as = 8 mood episodes over the previous 12-month
period)

- Subjects who test positive for drugs of abuse at screening. In the event a subject
tests positive for cannabinoids (tetrahydrocannabinol), the Investigator will evaluate
the subject's ability to abstain from cannabis during the study

- Unstable/inadequately treated medical illness

- The subjects answers "yes" to "Suicidal Ideation" items 4 or 5 on the C-SSRS (at time
of evaluation)

Double Blind Phase

- Subjects who in the Investigator's judgment have not been compliant with study
medication during the stabilization phase

- Subjects who have not stabilized during the open-label phase (within 20 weeks)

- Subjects who test positive for drugs of abuse at double-blind phase baseline. In the
event a subject tests positive for cannabinoids (tetrahydrocannabinol), the
Investigator will evaluate the subject's ability to abstain from cannabis during the
study
