Trial Outcomes & Findings for Synchronized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (sTMS) in Major Depressive Disorder (NCT NCT01370733)

NCT ID: NCT01370733

Last Updated: 2015-10-26

Results Overview

The mean HAM-D17 total score change from Baseline (Day 0) to Week 6 compared between the active treatment and sham-controlled groups. If any subject did not complete the double-blind phase in the ITT population, the assessment last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used. The single value provided in each arm reflects the change seen. For this trial, the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D28) was performed as a baseline assessment. A subset of the HAM-D28, the HAM-D17, was utilized as both a baseline and efficacy measure. It's considered the gold standard for rating depression severity and used frequently in clinical trials. The HAM-D17 score ranges from 0-52; a score of 0-7 is generally accepted to be within the normal range (or in clinical remission), while a score of 20 or higher indicates at least moderate severity. A reduction of 50% or more in total score from Baseline indicates clinical response.

Participant Flow

Enrollment occurred across 17 study sites (both academic and private clinical locations), initiated in May 2012 and all subject visits complete by July 2013. Three sites discontinued early due to departure of the Principal Investigator or due to a loss of contributing staff personnel. None were discontinued specifically due to a lack of enrollment.

Upon study closure, 291 subjects were consented for possible study participation with 202 of those subjects subsequently enrolled and randomized to treatment. Those entering the study at Screening while currently on an antidepressant required a minimum 1-week wash out period prior to completing a Baseline (Day 0) visit.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to End of Double-Blind Treatment Period (Week 6)

Population: Includes all subjects who signed an informed consent, met all I/E criteria, were subsequently randomized and received at least 1 treatment (active sTMS or sham) session in the double-blind phase.

The mean HAM-D17 total score change from Baseline (Day 0) to Week 6 compared between the active treatment and sham-controlled groups. If any subject did not complete the double-blind phase in the ITT population, the assessment last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used. The single value provided in each arm reflects the change seen. For this trial, the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D28) was performed as a baseline assessment. A subset of the HAM-D28, the HAM-D17, was utilized as both a baseline and efficacy measure. It's considered the gold standard for rating depression severity and used frequently in clinical trials. The HAM-D17 score ranges from 0-52; a score of 0-7 is generally accepted to be within the normal range (or in clinical remission), while a score of 20 or higher indicates at least moderate severity. A reduction of 50% or more in total score from Baseline indicates clinical response.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to End of Double-Blind Treatment Period (Week 6)

Population: Per Protocol Population - Non-Naive Subjects

All subjects in the Per Protocol analysis completed Week 6. Baseline HAM-D17 total score was directly compared to Week 6 HAM-D17 total score. The single value provided in each arm reflects this change. This analysis included only Per Protocol subjects exposed to an antidepressant medication in their current episode (non-naive). This includes past history of intolerance, resistance, or inadequate dosing/duration. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D28) was performed as a baseline assessment. A subset of the HAM-D28, the HAM-D17, was utilized as both a baseline and efficacy measure. It's considered the gold standard for rating depression severity and used frequently in clinical trials.

For this outcome, the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17) was utilized to determine clinical response. Response is defined as a reduction of at least 50% in total HAM-D17 score from Baseline through Week 6. If any subject did not complete the double-blind phase (Week 6) in the ITT population, the assessment last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used. This outcome provides the total number of subjects in each arm that achieved clinical response within the Intent to Treat population.
