Frequently asked questions about Geodon

What is Geodon used for in bipolar disorder?

Geodon is an antipsychotic medicine studied for the treatment of bipolar disorder, specifically bipolar I depression. It was evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials in adults with a diagnosis of bipolar I depression, a condition marked by depressive episodes in people with bipolar I disorder.

Who makes Geodon?

Geodon is developed by Pfizer, Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PFE. Pfizer is the company behind the Geodon clinical development program in psychiatry, including the Phase 3 bipolar I depression studies.

What phase is Geodon in for bipolar disorder?

Geodon has been studied in Phase 3 clinical development for bipolar disorder. The program includes two completed Phase 3 trials in bipolar I depression, and no trials in this program are currently listed as active.

What clinical trials is Geodon in for bipolar disorder?

Geodon was studied in two completed Phase 3 trials in bipolar I depression: NCT00282464, a six-week flexible dose study that enrolled 392 patients, and NCT00141271, a six-week study that enrolled 536 patients. Both were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials conducted in the United States in adults aged 18 and older.

Is Geodon the same as ziprasidone?

Yes, Geodon is the brand name for ziprasidone. Geodon (ziprasidone) is a small molecule medicine, and the two names refer to the same drug, so searches for either name point to the same Pfizer compound and its clinical development program.

How many patients were enrolled in Geodon bipolar disorder trials?

The Geodon bipolar disorder program enrolled 928 patients across two completed Phase 3 trials. NCT00282464 enrolled 392 patients and NCT00141271 enrolled 536 patients, both in adults with bipolar I depression. Both studies used randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled designs.
