Study of brain development in bipolar disorder using organoids
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses brain organoids (tiny lab-grown cell clusters) to study how brain development differs in people with bipolar disorder, especially those with early developmental signs. It aims to find markers that could help diagnose or treat the condition earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new medical device that uses a blood test to help doctors accurately diagnose bipolar disorder in people who were thought to have major depression. It aims to see if the device can tell the difference and improve treatment choices.
This study tests a new way to deliver lithium using tiny gold particles in laboratory models. It may lead to a safer form of treatment for people with bipolar disorder, but this trial is not recruiting patients yet—it's being done in the lab.
This study helps families talk about bipolar disorder when a parent or caregiver has it. Researchers are creating and testing a new tool to help young people understand their risk and recognize early warning signs, with the goal of getting help sooner if needed.
This study is building a genetic and blood-sample database to better understand bipolar disorder. Researchers will compare people with bipolar disorder to controls to find biological clues that may improve future diagnosis and treatment.
This study uses brain scans to understand emotions in bipolar disorder. It compares people with bipolar who are currently depressed or in a mixed state to healthy volunteers, and involves up to two visits to the research center.
This study uses a mobile app and brain scans to understand day-to-day mood changes in people with depression or bipolar disorder. It may help doctors learn how to better predict and treat these conditions.
