Trial Title: Lamotrigine Monotherapy in Pediatric Bipolar Disorder

Study Design Characteristics:
- Allocation: None
- Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
- Observational Model: None
- Primary Purpose: TREATMENT
- Time Perspective: None
- Masking: NONE
- Phase: PHASE2
- Number of Arms: 1.0

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:~* Ages 10-20~* Must be able to swallow tablets~* Must be diagnosed with bipolar disorder~Exclusion Criteria:~* Children with general medical condition such as head injury, epilepsy, endocrine disorders~* Those who are on mood altering medications such as steroids, and those diagnosed with mental retardation are excluded to avoid confounding and contributing factors to mood swings.~* If we discover during the interview that the parent and/or child does not understand the consent/assent procedures, we will exclude them.~* Girls who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during the study period will also be excluded from the research. There have been no concerns raised in the literature about the need for birth control practices in males treated with lamotrigine. As such, there are no provisions to exclude males from the research who do not practice birth control.~We expect only a small number of children to be excluded from the study due to exclusionary criteria. Selection of the subjects is not based on sex, race, or ethnic group.~For the fMRI study:~* Given the limited size of the magnet bore, individuals with a body weight over two-hundred and fifty pounds will be unable to be tested within the MRI scanner.~* Women in the latter stages of pregnancy may be excluded due to large body size and potential discomfort while in the MRI apparatus. Please note that girls who are taking part in the drug portion of the study (this includes all female subjects except the 5 healthy adult, control women) will be given 3 pregnancy during the drug study. This is to rule out pregnancy since pregnant girls should not be taking the study medications for safety reasons.~* Standard contraindications for fMRI studies include: cardiac pacemaker, aneurysm clip, cochlear implants, shrapnel, history of metal fragments in eyes, claustrophobia~* Participants with an IQ of less than 70 (assessed by WRAT) are likely to be excluded due to difficulties comprehending tasks and procedures

Study Arms:
- lamotrigine (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): The dose of lamotrigine will be 12.5 mg per day beginning the first day. It is increased in 12.5 mg increments every week until it reaches 50 mg and 25 mg per week of increment thereafter until maximum dose of 150 mg in those below 50 kg and 200-400 mg depending on clinical response in those above 50 kg. Increasing the medication to final dose will take 8 weeks and the response on full and tolerable dose is further monitored for response over 6 weeks. Therefore, this is a 18-26 week trial (2 to 12 weeks=screening and wash out; 8 weeks=dosing; 6 weeks=acute trial period on full dose).

Based on this trial design, predict the completion outcome and termination type (if applicable).
