Study Overview

Status

Status

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Withdrawn

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 is a single-center, naturalistic, observational study following the use of the NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy System and assessment of clinical outcome. The goal is to collect, analyze and report information as aggregated summaries on participants receiving treatment with the NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy System.

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

22 years to 70 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Men or women, age 22 - 70, out-patient
  2. Participants who meet the DSM-5 clinical diagnostic criteria, in the opinion of the treating clinician, for primary diagnosis of unipolar, non-psychotic MDD. The intended treatment plan uses the labeled treatment parameters for TMS as described in the NeuroStar® System
  3. Women of child bearing potential must be using a medically accepted reliable means of contraception (for oral contraceptive medication: must be in use for at least 3 months)
  4. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening using urine dipstick
  5. Participants must have the capacity to consent to all tests and examinations required by the protocol and must sign a written informed consent document to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of seizures or increased risk of seizure for any reason, including prior diagnosis of increased intracranial pressure or history of significant head trauma with loss of consciousness for ≥ 5 minutes
  2. Inability to locate and quantify a motor threshold as defined in the protocol
  3. Conductive, ferromagnetic, or other magnetic-sensitive metals implanted in the participant's head within 30 cm of the treatment coil excluding the mouth that cannot safely be removed. Examples include: cochlear implants; implanted electrodes/stimulators; aneurysm clips or coils; stents; bullet fragments; jewelry; and hair barrettes
  4. Any psychiatric disorder which, in the judgement of the Investigator, may hinder the participant from completing the procedures required by the study protocol
  5. Active or inactive implants (including device leads), including deep brain stimulators, and vagus nerve stimulators
  6. Cardiac pacemakers, implanted medication pumps, intracardiac lines, or acute, unstable cardiac disease
  7. Known or suspected pregnancy

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Major Depressive Disorder
Participants who meet the DSM-5 clinical diagnostic criteria, in the opinion of the treating clinician, for primary diagnosis of unipolar, non-psychotic MDD.
Device: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulator
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. While the patient is awake and alert, NeuroStar TMS Therapy stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.
Other Names:
  • Neurostar
  • TMS Therapy

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
Clinical Global Impression - Severity Scale
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
The change from baseline to endpoint on the total score for the Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale will be reported for the 6 week 3, 6, 9, and 12 month time points. The 7-point scale requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis. The scale ranges from 1-7, where a higher score means a worse outcome.
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 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
Patient Health Questionnaire - 9-item Self Report
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
The change from baseline to endpoint on the total score for the PHQ-9 will be reported for the 6 week, 3, 6, 9, and 12 month time points. The questionnaire assesses degree of depression severity. The scale ranges from total scores of 1-27, where a higher score means a worse outcome.
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self Report (IDS-SR)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
The change from baseline to endpoint on the total score for the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self Report will be reported for the 6 week, 3, 6, 9, and 12 month time points. It is a tool designed to screen for depression and measure changes in severity of symptoms. The scale ranges from total score ranges of 0-84, where a higher score means a worse outcome.
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
EuroQol 5 Dimensions
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
The change from baseline to endpoint on the total score for the EuroQol 5 Dimensions will be reported for the 6 week, 3, 6, 9, and 12 month time points. The EuroQol 5 Dimensions questionnaire assesses quality of life and is presented as a health profile.
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
Health Resource Utilization Questionnaire (HRU)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
The change from baseline in health care service utilization reported on the individual questions contained in the HRU will be reported for the 6 week, 3, 6, 9, and 12 month time points. It is a socioeconomic and quality of life questionnaire. Because changes in individual questions are reported, there is no range of scores. The score ranges from 0-100, where a higher score means a better outcome.
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
Short Form 36-item Questionnaire
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
The change from baseline to endpoint on the Individual Factor Scores and General Medical and Mental Health Composite Scores for the SF-36 will be reported for the 6 week, 3, 6, 9, and 12 month time points. The Short Form 36-item Questionnaire evaluates quality of life outcomes.
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months
