Trial Outcomes & Findings for Neurobiology of Bulimia Nervosa (NCT NCT04225221)
NCT ID: NCT04225221
Last Updated: 2022-07-26
Results Overview
Binge eating will be measured using the 8-item binge eating subscale of the Eating Pathology Symptoms Inventory (EPSI), which measures features of binge eating (e.g., consumption of large quantities of food, mindless eating) on a 5-point Likert scale from "never" to "very often." The EPSI scale is designed to assess behavior over the past 28 days; however, to be sensitive to the timeframe of the present study, the instructions will be modified to ask participants to consider the past week. Items are summed for a scale score ranging from 0-32. Higher scores indicate more frequent experiences with binge eating behavior. Change is defined by an average change score.

Sequence A: Estradiol Followed by Progesterone
Participants are randomly assigned to treatment Sequence A: after achieving hormone suppression using Lupron, participants begin the addback period and take study medications for 8 weeks. During the 8 week period, participants will take placebo or estradiol or progesterone. Participants will not know when or for how long they are on active medication (i.e., estradiol or progesterone) or inactive (i.e., placebo) medication. When active medication is administered, participants randomized to treatment sequence A will receive estradiol addback first, followed by progesterone.
Estradiol and progesterone are never given simultaneously. Participants are on active medication for a total of 4 weeks.
Estradiol: During estradiol administration, 2mg of estradiol is given twice daily via oral capsule.
Micronized progesterone: During progesterone administration, 200mg of progesterone is given twice daily via oral capsule.
Leuprolide Acetate: Initial 3.75 mg intramuscular injection administered approximately Day 6 of menstrual cycle and then monthly thereafter for a total of 3 months.
Placebo Oral Capsule: Placebo is administered during the addback phase when participants are not taking active medication. Placebo is given so that medication administration occurs throughout the entire 8-week addback period in order to blind participants to when and for how long they are on the active medication.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline (Day 14 of baseline) to End of Intervention (Day 14 of each intervention)Binge eating frequency is based on a daily diary of self-reported binge eating frequency. Scores can range from 0 to infinity as they represent a self-reported frequency. Subjects self-report the number of binge eating episodes they had each day. Higher numbers indicate more frequent binge eating episodes. Average weekly frequency will be determined based on daily reported binge eating frequency. Change is defined by an average change score.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline (Day 14 of baseline) to End of Intervention (Day 14 of intervention)During the estradiol intervention, participants will be asked to make a series of hypothetical choices between small, sooner (impulsive) vs. larger, later (self controlled) hypothetical monetary outcomes. k is a hyperbolic function with larger k values indicating more valuation of a larger delayed reward and smaller values indicating preference for more immediate, smaller rewards (more impulsivity). Change is defined as the average change in k.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline (Day 14 of baseline) to End of Intervention (Day 14 of intervention)This measures assesses individual disposition toward engaging in activities during the estradiol intervention. Two BIS/BAS behavioural activation (BA) subscales will be used. The BA subscales used are Fun Seeking and Drive. Each subscale is summed to get the respective subscale scores. The minimum score on BA Fun Seeking and BA Drive are minimum 4 and maximum 16. Higher scores indicate greater behavioral activation. Change is defined by an average change score.

When active medication is administered, participants randomized to treatment sequence B will receive progesterone first followed by estradiol.
Estradiol and progesterone are never given simultaneously. Participants are on active medication for a total of 4 weeks.
Estradiol: During estradiol administration, 2mg of estradiol is given twice daily via oral capsule.
Micronized progesterone: During progesterone administration, 200mg of progesterone is given twice daily via oral capsule.
Leuprolide Acetate: Initial 3.75 mg intramuscular injection administered approximately Day 6 of menstrual cycle and then monthly thereafter for a total of 3 months.
Placebo Oral Capsule: Placebo is administered during the addback phase when participants are not taking active medication. Placebo is given so that medication administration occurs throughout the entire 8-week addback period in order to blind participants to when and for how long they are on the active medication.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline (Day 14 of baseline) to End of Intervention (Day 14 of intervention)This measures assesses individual disposition toward avoiding and engaging in activities during estradiol intervention. The BIS/BAS reward responsiveness subscale will be used. The minimum score on the BA Reward Responsiveness subscale is 5, maximum 20. Higher scores indicate greater reward responsiveness. Change is defined by an average change score.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline (Day 14 of baseline) to End of Intervention (Day 14 of intervention)Population: Data unavailable as task was not completed by one participant.
Behavioral response inhibition will be examined during a go/no-go computerized task during the estradiol intervention. Inhibitory control is defined by the response accuracy of the go no/go trials. Percent of errors is calculated as the number of "go" responses on a "no/go" trial" divided by the total number of "no/go" trials." Fewer errors ("go" response on a "no/go" trial) indicates better inhibitory control. Change is defined by an average change score.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline (Day 14 of baseline) to End of Intervention (Day 14 of intervention)Pearson correlations between change in self-reported reward response and change in binge eating between baseline and estradiol intervention will be examined. Binge eating is defined as the sum score from the Eating Pathology Symptom Inventory (EPSI). Self-reported reward response is defined as the BAS reward responsiveness subscale score and the Sensitivity to Reward/Sensitivity to Punishment Questionnaire (SPSRQ) sensitivity to reward subscale score. Change in binge eating and change in reward response between baseline and estradiol intervention was calculated and a correlation conducted between change scores.
