January 26, 2021 updated by: Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc.

A Multicenter, 10-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind Study Of Sertraline And Placebo In Children And Adolescents With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sertraline compared to placebo in children and adolescents (6 to 17 years of age) who are outpatients with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study was terminated on July 11, 2007. The results of the primary endpoint analysis at the interim showed that the Zoloft group was not significantly different than the placebo on the primary endpoint and therefore the decision was made to terminate the trial. The decision to terminate the trial was not based on any safety concerns.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

6 years to 17 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects must be from 6 to 17 years of age and will have a maximum age of 17 at the Baseline Visit of the study.
  • Subjects must have a diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder as defined by DSM-IV and determined by the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects whose trauma is ongoing, or who are living in the same home as their abuser, or who are expected to participate in litigation related to their trauma during the course of the study will be excluded from participation.
  • Subjects who are likely to or are at high risk for experiencing re-exposure to their index trauma.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
The primary efficacy parameter is the University of California at Los Angeles Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Index for DSM-IV (UCLA PTSD-I).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Secondary efficacy measures include
Child Stress Disorder Checklist (CSDC)
Clinical Global Impression Severity (CGI-S)
Clinical Global Impression Improvement (CGI-I)
Children's Depression Rating Scale - Revised edition (CDRS-R)
