Trial Outcomes & Findings for EnBrace HR for Depression Treatment and Prevention in Women Trying to Conceive and Early Pregnancy (NCT NCT02676882)

NCT ID: NCT02676882

Last Updated: 2019-09-20

Results Overview

Experience a response (50% improvement in depressive symptoms) to EnBrace therapy, as assessed by the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). The MADRS is a 10-item scale assessing the presence and severity of depressive symptoms, each with a score of 0-6 in which 0 denotes absence of a given symptom and 6 denotes the highest burden, frequency, or severity of a given symptom. The total score (sum of 10 items) ranges from 0-60 points, with scores of \</=10 considered clinically well and scores of \>/=15 considered clinically depressed for this study. Symptoms assessed include reported and apparent sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulty, lassitude, anhedonia, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidality.

Participant Flow

Recruitment period: 1/24/2017 through 3/5/2018 Recruitment methods: Medical clinics, womensmentalhealth.org, other online recruitment sources, flyers in public locations, database of previous patients and research participants at the Center for Women's Mental Health at MGH

Potential subjects were screened by phone and if eligible attended a baseline screening visit at which they consented to further eligibility assessment for each of two groups.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Assessed every two weeks for 12 weeks

Population: Those women in group 1 who discontinued antidepressants (ADs) during the study (2 women of 13 in group 1 planned to discontinue ADs when they became pregnant and were actively trying to conceive, but they did not become pregnant during the trial and did not decrease the dose of their ADs).

Evidence of recurrence of major depression episode, as defined by the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) mood module and/or research clinician interview. The MINI is a brief, validated structured clinical interview used for diagnostic purposes for DSM-IV and ICD-10 psychiatric disorders in clinical trials. The interview is performed by a licensed study physician and takes about 15 minutes. The MINI is divided into modules corresponding to diagnostic categories, and questions are answered as a binary yes or no by the research subject. The MINI mood module in this case refers to the set of questions examining major depressive disorder symptoms to identify if a patient is experiencing depressive symptoms that meet criteria as a major depressive episode.
