Trial Outcomes & Findings for L-DOPA vs. Placebo for Depression and Psychomotor Slowing in Older Adults (NCT NCT03761030)

NCT ID: NCT03761030

Last Updated: 2023-05-22

Results Overview

The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD) is a 24-item questionnaire used as an indication of depression and a guide to evaluate recovery. Total scores range from 0-74, not including atypical symptoms sub-scale. A score of 16 or above is typically considered to indicate the presence of depressive symptoms. Higher scores indicate greater severity. Because the full sample was not enrolled and the results are considered unreliable, no statistical analysis was performed other than calculating means and standard deviations.

Participant Flow

In total, 51 subjects were enrolled. Of the 51 enrolled, 20 subjects were found to be ineligible or did not continue in the study after enrolling. Thus, 51 participants enrolled and 31 were assigned to a treatment group and began the study.

Measure
L-DOPA Arm
Those assigned to L-DOPA will begin taking 37.5mg carbidopa/150 mg levodopa once daily (with placebo twice daily) for one week, then increase to 75mg carbidopa/300mg levodopa (37.5 mg carbidopa/150mg levodopa twice daily and placebo once daily) for one week, and finally increase to 112.5mg carbidopa/450mg levodopa (37.5 mg carbidopa/150mg levodopa three times daily and no placebo) for the final six weeks. Each subject assigned to the L-DOPA arm will be titrated to 450mg L-DOPA unless they cannot tolerate higher doses, in which case subjects will have their dosage reduced to the maximum tolerable dose L-DOPA: We will be using generic sinemet 25/100 tablets in this study.
Placebo Arm
Subjects assigned to the placebo arm will take placebo oral tablet three times daily throughout the study. Placebo Oral Tablet: 25/100 placebo tablets

The Digit Symbol test is a neuropsychological test measuring information processing speed. It consists of digit-symbol pairs (e.g. 1/-,2/┴ ... 7/Λ,8/X,9/=) followed by a list of digits. Under each digit the subject should write down the corresponding symbol as fast as possible. The number of correct symbols within the allowed time is measured. Score ranges from 0-133, with higher scores indicating higher information processing speed. Because the full sample was not enrolled and the results are considered unreliable, no statistical analysis was performed other than calculating means and standard deviations.

Patients' gait was assessed as walking speed in cm/s on a 15' walking course. Patients walked at their usual or normal speed for a total of 27' (starting and ending at a point 6 feet prior to and after the 15' course to eliminate acceleration and deceleration effects). Two trials were completed, and gait speed was based on the average of 2 trials. Because the full sample was not enrolled and the results are considered unreliable, no statistical analysis was performed other than calculating means and standard deviations.

The Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology--Self Report (IDS-SR) is a rating scale for depressive symptoms based on standard diagnostic criteria for Major Depressive Disorder. The scale ranges from 0-84 with higher scores indicating more severe depression. Because the full sample was not enrolled and the results are considered unreliable, no statistical analysis was performed other than calculating means and standard deviations.

This test required participants to identify whether two visual patterns are the "same" or "not the same" (responses were made by pressing a "yes" or "no" button). Patterns were either identical or varied on one of three dimensions: color (all ages), adding/taking something away (all ages), or one versus many. Scores reflect the number of correct items completed in 90 s, with scores ranging from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 30. Items were designed to minimize the number of errors that were made. Because the full sample was not enrolled and the results are considered unreliable, no statistical analysis was performed other than calculating means and standard deviations.

Subjects were asked to determine whether two strings of letters are the same or different. There are 3 pages and the subject is given 30 seconds per page. Scoring is based on the number answered correctly. Scores range from 0 to 21, with the higher the number, the better the score. Because the full sample was not enrolled and the results are considered unreliable, no statistical analysis was performed other than calculating means and standard deviations.
