Abstract

The present invention provides methods for treating depression symptoms associated with bipolar disorder.

Description

TREATMENT OF PSYCHOSIS WITH THE ANTIPSICOTIQUE QUETIAPINA FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to methods using an antipsychotic dibenzothiazepine. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Bipolar disorders are disorders in mood in which a predominant feature is an alteration in mood. 'Bipolar disorder I is characterized by one or more manic or mixed episodes, usually accompanied by major depressive episodes.
Bipolar II disorder is characterized by one or more major depressive episodes accompanied by at least one hypo-anic episode. Bipolar depression refers to major depressive episodes that occur with bipolar I and II. It is estimated that the prevalence of bipolar disorder is from 1 to 3.5%, divided evenly between men and women. The duration of time between onset and symptoms and an adequate diagnosis in the treatment is approximately 10 years. It is estimated that only 60% of people with bipolar disorder receive appropriate pharmacotherapy. Although there is extensive and growing literature that via the treatment of the manic phase of the disorder - And Ref. 174310 Bipolar I as well as many compounds approved for the treatment of unipolar depression, the treatment of bipolar depression has not been studied extensively and the lines of guidance for the treatment are in their infancy. The use of antidepressants currently available for monotherapy for bipolar depression are often problematic since they can increase "activation" in hypomania or mania from depression or increase the acceleration of the cycle. In addition, patients may experience hobbies that arise with treatment with antidepressant monotherapy. The "joint use of mood-stabilizing drugs such as lithium carbonate (LiC03) is common and may decrease the likelihood of these complications." The evidence indicates that drugs with mood-stabilizing properties, which produce low levels of mania, hypomania or Cycle acceleration may be useful as monotherapy in the treatment of bipolar depression The antiepileptic lamotrigine produces improvements in the HAM-D and MADRS ratings in a 7-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial for patients who completed this study (Calabrese 1999). More recently, the antimalar agent divalproex demonstrated numerical improvement over placebo in a percentage of patients with bipolar depression who had a 50% reduction in HAM-D ratings without mania in 8-week trials (Sachs, 2001) but This difference is not statistically significant, it has been shown that lithium carbonate, also n approved for the treatment of mania, it is effective as a monotherapeutic agent in approximately 50% of patients with bipolar depression (Bauer). However, there are limitations regarding the use of previous treatments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Quetiapine fumarate was described in the patent of E.U.A. No. 4,879,288, which is incorporated herein by reference. Quetiapine fumarate (quetiapine) is a derivative of dibenzothiazepine and is chemically referred to as 2- [2- (4-dibenzo [b, f] [1,4] thiazepin-11-yl-l-piperazinyl) ethoxy fumarate ] ethanol However, the applicants have achieved surprising results that indicate the success of quetiapine in treating depression states. Recent clinical studies have shown pharmacological properties, previously unrecognized, that suggest that quetiapine is useful in the treatment of depression associated with bipolar disorder. In addition, quetiapine has been found to be well tolerated in the treatment of bipolar depression with a low incidence of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), prolactin, sexual dysfunction and weight gain. Additionally, quetiapine is not related to the mania that arises from treatment, in the treatment of bipolar depression and the treatment that results in a low rate of mania that arises with treatment.
It has now been discovered that quetiapine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is an effective treatment of depression symptoms related to one or more mood disorders. . • - - Some embodiments of the invention include a method of treating symptoms of depression related to one or more mood disorders comprising administering to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a compound of formula ( I): Some embodiments of the method include the use of a quetiapine compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the preparation of a medicament for treating symptoms of. depression related to one more mood disorders in a patient. Other modalities of the method include the use of a quetiapine compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the preparation of a medicament for treating symptoms of depression related to bipolar disorder in a patient.
The present invention relates to a method for treating one or more mood disorders by administering quetiapine. In formula I the structure of quetiapine is shown: One embodiment of the invention provides a method which comprises administering quetiapine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt to a patient, for the treatment of symptoms of depression related to one or more mood disorders. Another embodiment of the invention provides a method which comprises administering quetiapine fumarate to a patient for the treatment of depression symptoms related to bipolar disorder. Another embodiment of the invention provides a method which comprises administering quetiapine fumarate to a patient for the treatment of depression symptoms related to bipolar disorder I. Another embodiment of the invention provides a method which comprises administering quetiapine fumarate to a patient for the treatment of depression symptoms related to bipolar II disorder.
Another embodiment of the invention provides a method which comprises administering quetiapine fumarate to a patient for the treatment of depression symptoms related to bipolar depression. The term "therapeutically effective amount" as used herein means an amount of the compound which is effective to treat the disorder or condition mentioned. In one embodiment, bipolar depression can be treated by administering quetiapine to a patient in a dosage ranging from about 300 mg / day to about 600 mg / day. Applicants have found that quetiapine is more effective than placebo and is well tolerated for the treatment of depressive episodes in patients with one or more mood disorders. Applicants have also found that quetiapine is more effective than placebo and is well tolerated for the treatment of depressive episodes in patients with bipolar depression. In addition, quetiapine is more effective than placebo and is well tolerated for the treatment of anxiety symptoms, reduced quality of sleep and reduced quality of life in patients with bipolar disorder. The following examples that are provided in no way limit the invention in any way and are intended to be for illustrative purposes only. EXAMPLES The results of a monotherapy study demonstrate the therapeutic value of the use of quetiapine fumarate in the treatment of patients with bipolar depression. Study The study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, double-blind, multi-center trial using quetiapine fumarate in the treatment of patients with bipolar depression performed in 539 subjects with 511" Patients in an ITT population Treatment is quetiapine or placebo, 43% of the patients are male and 57% of the female gender, Demographic data also include 67% of patients with bipolar disorder and 33% with bipolar II Some of the key inclusion criteria are: Fulfill the DSM-IV criteria for bipolar I disorder or bipolar II disorder, the most recent episode of depression (296.5x and 296.89x), confirmed by a structured clinical interview, modified for DMS -IV (SCID); (2) a current episode of depression > 4 weeks; some of the key exclusion criteria are: in the screening and initial values: a total HAMD-D rating (17 items) > twenty; a HAM-D qualification subsection 1 (depressed mood) > 2; pre-treatment with an adequate course of more than 2 antidepressants for your current-episode or treatment for more than 12 months; > 12 in the YMRS (that is, non-mixed episodes); current (or in the last 6 months) of axis I disorder different from bipolar disorder. Dosage Quetiapine is titrated in a manner that the investigators do not know if it is quetiapine or placebo, at a total daily dose of approximately 300 mg / day on day 4 in the treatment group of 300 mg / day or a daily dose total of approximately 600 mg / day on day 8, in a treatment group of 600 mg / day. Subsequently, oral doses of quetiapine fumarate were administered in a manner to avoid biases, once a day in a total daily dose of approximately 300 or approximately 600 mg / day.
TITULATION PROTOCOL Dosing group DAY The primary endpoints were determined by MADRS (Montgomery / Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) with change from initial value to final determination.) Secondary endpoints evaluated by HAM-D (Hamilton Rating Scale for anxiety), CGI-S (clinical global impression severity), CGI-C (global clinical impression change) and the change from the initial values, the incidence of mania that arises with the treatment, compared with placebo, effect of quetiapine on the anxiety and safety and tolerability of quetiapine in the treatment of patients with bipolar depression The exploratory endpoints include quetiapine efficacy on sleep quality (determined through the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) PSQI)), efficacy of quetiapine in the general quality of life (through the questionnaire of enjoyment and satisfaction of quality of life (Q-Les-Q , short form.) Results Changes in MADRS, bipolar I and II (ITT population (attempt to treat) Results MADRS / HAM-D-: ITT and populations that completed (PLA = Placebo) Q-LES-Q-Week 4 and 8 * P < 0.001; aP < 0.05 PSQ1- Week 4 and 8 * P < 0.001; LOCF: Sent by bearer of the last observation Efficacy Summary Effectiveness against depressive symptoms in both doses from day 8 onwards (p <0.001) (MADRS and HAM-D). 20% advantage over placebo for the analysis of respondents to MADRS; effect size of MADRS 0.6 (bipolar I and II); 20% advantage over placebo in the remission analysis; MADRS effect size: 0.6 (bipolar I and II). Efficacy in anxiety symptoms (HAM-A) in both doses from day 8 onwards (p <0.01). Clinical improvement (CGI) in both doses from day 8 onwards (p <0.001). Significant results in the final analyzes reported of the patients (PSQI and Q-LES-Q).
Mania arising from treatment The criterion for emergent mania (any of the following): AE (adverse event) or SAE (serious adverse event) of mania. Withdrawal by AE of mania. YMRS (Young mania classification scale) > 16 in 2 consecutive or final detentions. These results suggest that quetiapine is not associated with mania arising from treatment ("activation") in the treatment of bipolar depression. 600 mg 300 mg - Placebo 4 (2.4%) 6 (3.5%) 7 (4.1%) Quetiapine was also found to be effective in a wide range of symptom domains in bipolar depression, including anxiety and reduced quality of dream . Dream Week 8 LOCF Anxiety Mean values of anxiety measured by the HAM-A score with similar groups through the treatments: 18-6-18.9. Patients who took quetiapine approximately 300 and approximately 600 rrtgVal day showed a significant improvement (P <0.05) higher in the mean HAM-A score versus placebo in each determination beginning with the first evaluation (day 8) and sustained through the point final (week 8) (-8.6 and -8.7 versus -5.5). Safety Summary There are no unexpected AE trends: low emerging mania rate; comparable across all groups; there is no statistical difference in completion rates, dose-related trends, increased suppressions for AE, reduction in deletions for lack of effect; small changes related to doses in weight. Consequently, quetiapine was found to be safe and effective for the treatment of bipolar depression, effective in the treatment of anxiety symptoms related to bipolar depression, efficacy in improving the quality of life and quality of sleep in patients with bipolar depression. It is noted that in relation to this date, the best method known to the applicant to carry out the aforementioned invention, is that which is clear from the present description of the invention.
