Aripiprazole Augmentation of SSRI Therapy in Treatment Refractory Depression

24. Oktober 2012 aktualisiert von: Prabha Sunderajan, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center

Aripiprazole Augmentation of SSRI Antidepressant Therapy in Treatment Refractory Depression: Assessment of Symptom Reduction, Psychosocial Function, and Cognitive Function

Our target population will have been adequately treated with one of three selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs; escitalopram, citalopram, or sertraline) for at least 8-12 weeks and continue to experience symptoms of depression that have prompted them to seek additional treatment. Escitalopram, citalopram, and sertraline were selected for use in this study because they are among the most commonly selected SSRIs and they are associated with a reduced likelihood of drug-drug interactions with aripiprazole. After completion of the screening process, eligible participants will be augmented with aripiprazole (5, 10, or 15 mg) for 6 weeks. Participants will continue SSRI treatment with their prescribing physician, in conjunction with study participation. Symptom severity will be assessed on a weekly basis, and cognitive and psychosocial function will be assessed at pre- and post-augmentation. We hypothesize that aripiprazole augmentation will be associated with reductions in symptom severity, and with improved performance on measures of psychosocial and cognitive function.

Was misst die Studie?

Primäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Stockings of Cambridge (SOC) Mean Initial Thinking Time for 3-move Problems
Zeitfenster: baseline and 6 weeks
The SOC is part of the CAmbridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) and is an executive function task based on the Tower of London test that assesses spatial planning for problems with 2, 3, 4, or 5 moves. The Mean Initial Thinking Time for 3-move problems is the time (in milliseconds)taken to plan a problem solution for trials requiring 3 moves. Higher numbers indicate poorer performance. Time reported is the difference between baseline and 6 weeks post-treatment.

baseline and 6 weeks
Spatial Working Memory (SWM) Between Errors for 6-move Problems
Zeitfenster: baseline and 6 weeks
The SWM task is part of the CANTAB neruopsychological test battery and is an executive function task assessing retention and manipulation of items in working memory, with the ability for assessment of perseverative (redundant) errors. Between errors are times the subject revisits a box in which a token was previously found; errors are calculated for 4-, 6-, and 8-box trials. Higher numbers indicate poorer performance. Errors reported are the difference between baseline and 6 weeks post-treatment.
baseline and 6 weeks
Spatial Working Memory (SWM) Strategy Score
Zeitfenster: baseline and 6 weeks
The SWM task is part of the CANTAB neruopsychological test battery and is an executive function task assessing retention and manipulation of items in working memory, with the ability for assessment of perseverative (redundant) errors. The Strategy score represents the number of times a participant begins a search with the same box for 6- and 8-box problems. Minimum score is 8 and maximum score is 56. Higher numbers indicate poorer performance. Score reported is the difference between baseline and 6 weeks post-treatment.

Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire
Zeitfenster: 6 weeks
The Q-LES-Q general activities is designed to measure subjective satisfaction and enjoyment, as opposed to function, in various domains including physical health, feelings, work, household duties, school/course work, leisure time activities, social relations, and general activities. The raw score is converted into a percent of the maximum possible score and range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater enjoyment and satisfaction.
6 weeks
Change in Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD - 17-item)
Zeitfenster: 6 weeks
The HRSD 17-item scale is a clinician-administered rating scale designed to assess the severity of symptoms in patients diagnosed with depression. Scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating higher levels of depression severity.
