Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Study to Test a New Drug to Treat Major Depression (NCT NCT00976560)

NCT ID: NCT00976560

Last Updated: 2017-11-14

Results Overview

HAMD-17 has 17 questions. The HAMD-17 Total Score was calculated by summing the individual response scores over the 17 individual components of the interview. The highest possible score was 52, which represented the most severe measure of depression; the lowest possible score was 0, which represented an absence of depression. There were 9 five point questions and 8 three point questions. The responses to the individual questions had values of 0-2 (three points response) or 0-4 (five points response). The BECH scale was extracted from the HAMD-17 and comprises of 6 items out of which 5 are 5 point questions and 1 is 3 point question. The Bech Total Score was calculated by summing the individual response scores and ranged from 0 to 22, with higher scores indicating more severe depression. Week 0 values were considered as Baseline.The change from randomization was analysed using suitable Bayesian mixed-effects model repeated measures (BMMRM) assuming missing at random (MAR).

Participant Flow

The study was conducted between 25 Sep 2009 to 7 July 2010. The study was conducted at 21 centers in 5 countries (Bulgaria \[4\], Estonia \[1\], Germany \[7\], Russia \[5\], United States \[4\]).

A total of 128 participants of both the gender, with major depressive disorder (MDD), having at least one previous major depressive episode in history and currently undergoing a recurrence, of age group 18 to 60, were enrolled globally. A total of 231 participants were screened of which 103 were screen-failures.

An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect. The AEs row include participants with SAEs.

Suicidility was defined as participants with major depressive disorder who experienced worsening of their depression and/or the emergence of suicidal ideation and behavior. Number of partcipants who experienced suicidality were reported. On the Suicidal Ideation scale of the Columbia Suicide-Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) participants were scored as "non-suicidal" (00), "wish to be dead" (01), "non-specific active suicidal thoughts" (02), "active suicidal ideation with associated thoughts of methods without intent" (03), "active suicidal ideation with some intent to act on suicidal thoughts without clear plan" (04) and "active suicidal ideation with plan and intent" (05), based on the most severe score (5 being the most severe).Suicidal ideation of type 4 or 5 in the C-SSRS was categorized as suicidility here.

Interlukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNF-alpha) from the participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) were evaluated and analyzed using suitable mixed-effects model repeated measures (MMRM). Exploratory analysis on plasma levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha were performed. Week 0 values were considered as Baseline.The change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the baseline values from the individual post-randomisation values.

HAMD-17 has 17 questions. The BECH scale was extracted from the HAMD-17 and comprises of 6 items out of which 5 are 5 point questions and 1 is 3 point question. The Bech scale was extracted from the HAMD-17 and comprised of 6 items out of which 5 were 5 point questions and 1 was 3 point question. The Bech Total Score was calculated by summing the individual response scores and ranged from 0 to 22, with higher scores indicating more severe depression. Due to the small number of items, missing data was not imputed for the Bech Total Score. If any of the 6 items were missing, the total score was not calculated at that visit. The change from randomization was analysed using suitable Bayesian Mixed-Effects Models for Repeated Measures (BMMRM) assuming missing at random MAR.

HAMD-17 is Hamilton Depression Rating Scale which has 17 questions. The HAMD-17 Total Score was calculated by summing the individual response scores over the 17 individual components of the interview. The highest possible score was 52, which represented the most severe measure of depression; the lowest possible score was 0, which represented an absence of depression. If not more than 1 response was missing, the total score was caculated as Observed Total Score \* \[1 + (Sum of the Maximum Score of the missing values/Sum of the Maximum Score of the non -missing values)\]. There were 9 five point questions and 8 three point questions. The responses to the individual questions can have values of 0-2 (three points response) or 0-4 (five points response).

Population: ITT Population. Only those participants with data available at the indicated time points were analyzed.

The 30 item IDS is available in two versions IDS-C and Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology self-rated (IDS-SR). To calculate the total score of IDS, 28 out of the 30 items were scored. Either weight loss or weight gain, appetite loss or appetite gain is scored because only one member of each pair is applicable to any given respondent. The standard total score is obtained by summing the ratings of 28 of the 30 items. Each of the 28 items is scored on a 0 to 3 scale (0 - the absence of pathology; 3 - severe pathology). The total scores range from 0 to 84. If more than one response was missing then the score was calculated using the formula Observed Total Score\*\[1+(Sum of the Maximum Score of the missing values/Sum of the Maximum Score of the non -missing values)\].

Population: ITT Population. Only those participants with data available at the indicated time points were analyzed.

QIDS-SR assesses symptoms severity of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) diagnostic criterion for major depressive disorder. It contains 16 separate items (corresponding to 16 items of the much longer IDS-SR), defining 9 DSM-IV symptom criterion domains. A total score was obtained by summing scores on each domain. The QIDS-SR total score was calculated by summing over the domain scores. The highest possible score was 27, which represented the most severe measure of depression; the lowest possible score was 0, which represented an absence of depression. Due to the small number of items, missing data was not imputed for the QIDS-SR total score.

Population: ITT Only those participants with data available at the indicated time points were analyzed.

The 30 item IDS is available in two versions IDS-C and IDS-SR. To calculate the total score of IDS, 28 out of the 30 items were scored. Either item 11 or 12 (and 13 or 14) were scored. If 11 and 12 (or 13 and 14) both are scored then the item with the highest score was considered. The total score of the 28 items ranged between 0-84. A responder is a participant who has a ≥50% reduction from randomisation in the total score for IDS-C. The total score was calculated for each participant at each timepoint and the percentage change from randomisation was then calculated as (\[Total score at post randomisation visit - Total score at randomisation visit\]/ Total score at randomisation visit) \* 100%. Responders were those with values of ≤ -50%. The change from randomization was analysed using suitable Bayesian mixed-effects model repeated measures (BMMRM) assuming missing at random (MAR).
