Exclusion Criteria
- Sexually active woman of childbearing potential and male who are not practicing 2 different methods of birth control or woman who is currently breast feeding - History of non-response to 2 adequate medication trials for depressive symptoms - Improvement of ≥20% in MADRS 10 total score between the screening and baseline assessments - Have bipolar disorder with mixed features or considered as rapid cyclers - Plan to initiate formal cognitive or behavioral therapy, systematic psychotherapy during the study, or plan to initiate such therapy during the study - History of disorders other than bipolar disorder, confirmed by previous psychiatric evaluation or the DSM 5 within 12 months prior to Screening - Experience of hallucinations, delusions, or any other psychotic symptomatology in the current MDE attributable to a primary DSM 5 diagnosis other than bipolar disorder. - Hospitalized for mania associated with Bipolar I Disorder within 30 days prior to Screening. Any previous manic phase must have completely resolved before enrollment in the study. - Significant risk for suicidal behavior during the study as determined by the Investigator's clinical assessment - Hypo or hyperthyroidism - Insulin dependent diabetes - Uncontrolled hypertension - Known significant cardiac disease - Laboratory results outside the defined protocol ranges - Clinically significant abnormal ECG findings - Received electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) within 90 days prior to Screening. - Received Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation within 90 days prior to Screening - Currently taking prohibited medications as defined in the protocol - History of non-response and/or responded only to ketamine, ECT or vagus nerve stimulation - Received GLP-1 within 30 of screening - History of organ disease that in the opinion of the PI would not make the patient eligible for participation

Arm Groups
| Arm | Description | Assigned Intervention |
|---|---|---|
|
Active Comparator LB-102 |
Patients will be randomized 1:1 to either active drug (LB-102) or Placebo. Dosing of LB-102 will start at 25 mg QD fixed dose for the first 3 weeks. At the start of Week 4, the dose of LB-102 may be increased to 50 mg QD based on the Clinical Global Impression Scale, Bipolar Version (CGI BP) improvement score. |
|
|
Placebo Comparator Placebo |
Patients will be randomized 1:1 to either LB-102 or placebo. Those patients on placebo will take one table QD for the length (6 weeks) of the clinical study. Patients will receive a new bottle of medication each week. Patients and PI, study staff will be blinded to which treatment (LB-102 or placebo), patients are randomized to. Patients will restart antidepressant or mood stabilizer treatment (if applicable) after the last dose of the study treatment on study day 43 |
