Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Trial of Sertraline vs. CBT for End-stage Renal Disease Patients With Depression {ASCEND} (NCT NCT02358343)

NCT ID: NCT02358343

Last Updated: 2019-07-23

Results Overview

The primary measure of efficacy of the Engagement Interview will be the number of patients undergoing hemodialysis with co-morbid depression who initiate treatment for the condition. This will be defined as one of the following: * Completing at least one psychotherapy session either as a part of the clinical trial or in the community within four weeks of establishing a diagnosis of major depression and/or dysthymia. * Receiving a supply of anti-depressant drug either as a part of the clinical trial or the treating physician within four weeks of establishing a diagnosis of major depression and/or dysthymia.

Measure
Engagement Interview
An Engagement Interview is a one-on-one session with the participant, during which a trained cognitive behavioral therapist explores barriers to treatment, including watching a 40-minute DVD together, in the dialysis facility. The DVD is given to the participant to take home.
Control Visit
A control visit is a follow up discussion with the participant at the dialysis facility by research staff. During this visit, participants are informed of the diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia, the options for treatment available through the clinical trial, and alternatives should they decline participation in the clinical trial.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) consists of 10 CBT sessions of 60 minutes each, by a trained therapist in the dialysis facility (8 weekly sessions; then every other week x 2). The CBT is administered while the patient is undergoing hemodialysis unless alternative arrangements preferred by participant. During the course of intervention, study subjects undergo assessment of severity of depressive symptoms using Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms - Self-Report (QIDS-SR) every two weeks for the first six weeks (weeks 0, 2, 4, and 6) and every three weeks for the next six weeks (weeks 9 and 12).
Antidepressant Drug Therapy
Anti-Depressant Drug Therapy is sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, and is delivered for 12 weeks. The site investigators prescribe sertraline drug at a starting dose of 25 mg oral tablets. Dose titration is implemented using standardized assessments of depressive symptoms and drug side effects; and the research team and the patient make joint decisions to maintain, increase, or decrease the dose. This protocol establishes the highest effective but tolerable dose tailored for each patient. The QIDS-SR scale will be used to assess the clinical response for dose titration. The Frequency, Intensity, and Burden of Side Effects Ratings (FIBSER) scale will be used to assess side effects and the degree to which they interfere with day-to-day functions. The participant-specific dose at week 6, up to a maximum of 200 mg/d, will be continued for the remaining 6 weeks.
Observational Cohort
Subjects who (1) are not willing to be randomized to study treatment and (2) do not find treatment acceptable even outside the study will be invited to participate in the prospective observational cohort for serial assessment of depressive symptoms.These subjects will only undergo assessment of severity of depressive symptoms at weeks 0, 6, and 12 using QIDS-C.

Engagement Interview
n=86 Participants
Subjects will be randomly assigned to engagement interview or a control visit.Trained CBT therapists at each of the three sites will conduct the engagement interview. The session will be aimed at improving the acceptance of the diagnosis of depression by patients and treatment for the same. Engagement Interview: An Engagement Interview will comprise a one-on-one session with the patient, during which the health-care provider will use reflective statements and non-judgmental listening techniques, will explore barriers to treatment, and will help patient articulate ambivalence about engaging in treatment. This session will be enhanced with a 40-minute DVD that the subject will watch with the therapist in the dialysis facility. The subject will be encouraged to take the DVD home with them and watch it with their family members as well.
Control Visit
n=84 Participants
Subjects will be randomly assigned to engagement interview or a control visit. Individuals assigned to control visit will be scheduled for a follow-up discussion with a member of the research team. During this session, they will be informed of the diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia, the options for treatment available through the clinical trial, and alternatives should they decline participation in the clinical trial.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12 of treatment

Population: QIDS-C in Observational Cohort arm provided only for descriptive purposes, not a primary outcome.

The Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Clinician-rated (QIDS-C) scale ranges from 0-27, higher scores indicate worse depression. The primary measure of efficacy of Intervention will be the mean difference in QIDS-C score at Week 12 between treatment groups.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: within two weeks of engagement interview or control visit

Population: Screening Intervention Period. Two participants who died both consented to treatment within the clinical trial and therefore were counted as non-missing for accepting treatment outcome by definition even though they did not complete the study.

The secondary measure of efficacy of the Engagement Interview will be the % of patients undergoing hemodialysis with co-morbid depression who are willing to accept treatment. This will be measured by the patient's intent and will be defined as one of the following: * Signing the informed consent to be randomly assigned to individual CBT or drug therapy * Receiving a referral by the research team and/or primary care physician and/or treating nephrologist to a therapist for psychotherapy in the community. * Receiving a prescription for anti-depressant drug therapy from primary care physician and/or treating nephrologist within two weeks of establishing a diagnosis of major depression/dysthymia.

The session will be aimed at improving the acceptance of the diagnosis of depression by patients and treatment for the same. Engagement Interview: An Engagement Interview will comprise a one-on-one session with the patient, during which the health-care provider will use reflective statements and non-judgmental listening techniques, will explore barriers to treatment, and will help patient articulate ambivalence about engaging in treatment. This session will be enhanced with a 40-minute DVD that the subject will watch with the therapist in the dialysis facility. The subject will be encouraged to take the DVD home with them and watch it with their family members as well.
Control Visit
n=51 Participants
Subjects will be randomly assigned to engagement interview or a control visit. Individuals assigned to control visit will be scheduled for a follow-up discussion with a member of the research team. During this session, they will be informed of the diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia, the options for treatment available through the clinical trial, and alternatives should they decline participation in the clinical trial.
