Trial Outcomes & Findings for Anti-INFLammatory to Address Mood and Endothelial Dysfunction (INFLAMED) (NCT NCT01625845)

NCT ID: NCT01625845

Last Updated: 2015-12-03

Results Overview

Patients underwent ultrasound assessment of brachial FMD in accordance with established guidelines at pre- (0 weeks) and post- (12 weeks) treatment. After a 10-minute supine rest, high-resolution baseline images of the brachial artery were obtained from 3 consecutive cardiac cycles. Next, the forearm cuff was inflated to 250 mmHg for 5 minutes and then was rapidly deflated. At 60 and 90 seconds post-deflation, images from 3 consecutive cardiac cycles were acquired. FMD values were computed as the % change in brachial diameter at either 60 or 90 seconds after cuff deflation

Participant Flow

Recruitment was open from June 28, 2012 to February 28, 2014. Participants were recruited from Eskenazi Health and Indiana University Health primary care clinics in Indianapolis. 1369 patients were screened, of whom 36 (2.6%) were eligible and provided informed consent. 16 patients (44%) attended the pre-treatment visit and were randomized.

Measure
Pentoxifylline + Standard Treatment
Pentoxifylline: Pentoxifylline is phosphodiesterase inhibitor that interferes with proinflammatory cytokine signaling and synthesis. Participants will be instructed to take pentoxifylline 400 mg p.o. t.i.d. for 12 weeks. Standard Treatment: Beating the Blues (BtB) is a widely used, empirically supported, computer-based, CBT program for depression designed for use in primary care clinics. BtB utilizes an interactive, multimedia format to deliver and eight 50-minute, weekly therapy sessions.
Placebo + Standard Treatment
Placebos: Placebo pills will match the study drug for color, taste, texture, size, and smell. Participants will receive the same instructions as those randomized to pentoxifylline. Standard Treatment: Beating the Blues (BtB) is a widely used, empirically supported, computer-based, CBT program for depression designed for use in primary care clinics. BtB utilizes an interactive, multimedia format to deliver and eight 50-minute, weekly therapy sessions.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 0 and 12 weeks

Self-reported depressive symptom severity was measured at pre- (0 weeks) and post- (12 weeks) treatment visits by the 20 depression items from the Symptom Checklist 90 (Hopkins Symptom Checklist depression scale; SCL-20). Each item on the scale ranges from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). Total scores are the average across all response items and range from 0 to 4 with higher scores indicating greater levels of depressive symptoms.
