Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Controlled Trial of Topiramate Treatment for Alcohol Dependence in Veterans With PTSD (NCT NCT01749215)

NCT ID: NCT01749215

Last Updated: 2021-06-21

Results Overview

Timeline Followback (TLFB) data was recorded using a calendar, with participants providing retrospective reports of daily drinking over the past week(s). The percent of heavy drinking days per week was calculated from the calendar data. The change in percentage of heavy drinking days was calculated by subtracting Week 0 (baseline) data from Week 12. Negative scores indicate improvement.

The PCL is a 17-item self-report measure reflecting DSM-IV symptoms of PTSD. A total symptom severity score (range = 17-85) can be obtained by summing the scores from each of the 17 items that have response options ranging from 1 "Not at all" to 5 "Extremely". It was calculated by subtracting the data collected at Week 0 (baseline) from data collected at Week 12. Negative scores indicate improvement.

DD measures impulsivity by evaluating discount rates for delayed rewards. On a computer screen, the participant is shown hypothetical dollar amounts that could be received immediately, while a hypothetical $100 reward is displayed continuously. The "delay duration" is the waiting period for the $100 delayed reward. The computer randomly presents each immediate reward dollar amount, one at a time and participants are asked to choose between each immediate reward or the delayed $100. The same procedure will be repeated for each of the delay periods. Delay discounting quantifies the devaluation of rewards over time, which allows for an index of overall discounting rate (k). Higher k values indicate greater discounting and therefore greater impulsivity. DD score change was measured by subtracting Week 0 (baseline) scores from Week 12 scores, with negative scores representing improvement.

BART is a computerized measure of risk taking behavior that displays a computer-generated balloon on a computer monitor. Participants gradually pump (inflate) the balloon. Each pump adds 5 cents to a temporary bank. After each pump, participants have 2 options, 1) continue to pump the balloon and risk bursting it, losing all the money from that balloon, or 2) saving the accumulated money to a permanent bank. Whenever a balloon bursts or the participant chooses to bank money, they start with a new balloon. Participants respond to 30 balloons, each having a different bursting point. With each pump, participants weigh the potential gain of collecting more money against the risk of losing all money accumulated with that balloon. Greater number of pumps indicates greater risk taking. Change was calculated by subtracting Week 12 scores from Week 0 (baseline), with negative scores representing improvement and positive scores representing worsening risk taking.

The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) is a computerized assessment that evaluates decision-making by tracking the selection of advantageous or disadvantageous electronic cards from four decks. Subjects are presented the 4 decks of cards on a computer screen and are told that they can win money by picking cards from the most advantageous deck. After each deck selection, subjects are provided feedback as to whether their selection resulted in a "win" or a "loss" and the dollar amount of the win/loss. Data indicate change from baseline in mean number of cards selected from advantageous decks minus number of cards selected from disadvantageous decks as a function of drug condition. Change measured by substracting Week 0 (baseline) scores from Week 12 scores. Higher numbers indicate better decision making regarding advantageous cards.
