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.
  • Drug: LB-102
    N-methyl amisulpride
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
