Pharmacogenomics for Antidepressant Guidance and Education 1 (PAGE-1_AG1) (PAGE-1_AG1)

A Six-month Study of the Genecept Assay vs. Treatment as Usual to Evaluate Efficacy of Using Assay Guided Treatment in Outpatient Adults With Treatment Resistant Depression

One-third or more of individuals treated for major depressive disorder (MDD) do not experience remission of symptoms despite at least two adequate antidepressant trials. Such treatment-resistant depression (TRD) contributes disproportionately to the tremendous costs of MDD, in terms of health care costs, functional impairment, and diminished quality of life.

The promise of personalized medicine for individuals at high risk for TRD is apparent. If these individuals could be recognized early in their disease course, they could be triaged to more intensive or targeted interventions to improve their likelihood of remission. With the proliferation of treatment options in MDD, at present individuals can spend months or years in and out of treatment before receiving these next-step treatments.

At present, no clinical or biomarker-based tool has been shown to assist in matching patients with treatments most likely to be effective for them. The Genecept Assay offers the possibility of "Personalized Medicine" in psychiatry. Clinicians may find this additional genetic information can lead to optimized treatment plans for individual patients. Before such an assay can be widely applied clinically, it is necessary to demonstrate that this tool usefully impacts treatment outcomes.

This study will examine the potential impact of the assay in terms of depression severity at 3 months, with further follow-up out to 6 months. Secondary measures will allow an estimate of its potential to change clinician behavior and improve patient quality of life. Further measures will also allow for refinement of the assay to maximize patient and clinician satisfaction, and estimate the potential savings associated with deployment of this assay in real-world clinical settings.

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

18 years to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • age 18-65
  • written informed consent
  • diagnosis of non-psychotic major depression as determined by study
  • clinician/current medical prescriber, and mood disorder diagnosis confirmed by PHQ-9
  • QIDS-SR score of at least 10 (i.e., moderate depression) at initial visit
  • failure of at least 1 prior adequate trial of a standard antidepressant (by ATRQ criteria - i.e., 6 weeks at adequate dose)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • psychotic features in the current episode, based upon clinical assessment
  • 4 or more failed pharmacologic interventions in the current major depressive episode [response rates for these subjects is likely to be extremely low and would require a substantially larger-scale study to identify treatment effects]
  • current substance use disorder other than nicotine which based upon clinical assessment requires inpatient or outpatient detoxification
  • pregnant women or women of child bearing potential who are not using a medically accepted means of contraception (to include oral contraceptive or implant, condom, diaphragm, spermicide, intrauterine device, tubal ligation, or partner with vasectomy)
  • women who are breastfeeding
  • serious suicide or homicide risk, as assessed by evaluating clinician
  • other unstable medical illness including cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, respiratory, endocrine, neurological, or hematological disease, based on review of medical history, physical examination, and screening laboratory tests
  • patients who have taken an investigational psychotropic drug within the last 3 months

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
No Intervention: Treatment as usual (TAU)
Subjects will give DNA sample for genetic testing but will not receive genetic results and will therefore receive treatment as usual.
Experimental: Genecept Assay
Subjects donate DNA sample for genetic testing and treatment decisions take genetic results into account.
Device: Genecept Assay
Genetic test which analyzes five pharmacodynamic and two pharmacokinetic genes important in psychiatric disorders
Other Names:
  • Genetic Test

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Efficacy Measured by Change in Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report (QIDS-SR), Adjusted for Baseline Severity, at 6 Months
Time Frame: 6 months

To determine the efficacy of assay-guided treatment (AGT) versus treatment-as-usual (TAU), in terms of depression severity as measured by change in Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report (QIDS-SR), adjusted for baseline severity, at 6 months

Add:

  • highest score on any 1 of the 4 sleep items (items 1 to 4)
  • highest score on any 1 of the 4 weight items (items 6 to 9)
  • highest score on either of the 2 psychomotor items (15 and 16)
  • scores for each of the 6 MDD symptom domains

Total scores range from 0-27. 0 = no signs of depression; 27 = severe depression
6 months

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinician Behavior as Measured by Change in Recorded Treatment Choice Before and After the Assay Results Are Made Available.
Time Frame: one week
Clinicians will rank first and alternative treatment choice and dosage prior to assay and first and two alternative treatment choices after receiving assay results (for AGT group). Clinician choices will be compared.
