Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This project aims to investigate the effectiveness of existing common antidepressants and to provide new evidence for depressed children and adolescents who are not responding to their first treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an open-label Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) of 16 weeks duration with two levels, each stage 8 weeks. In phase 1, adolescents with MDD will be selected into fluoxetine or fluoxetine combination CBT therapy groups and the choice of treatment will be at the discretion of the patient. Subjects who fail to respond will enter phase 2 randomization, where patients will be randomly assigned to oral sertraline, votioxetine, duloxetine or adding one of aripiprazole, lithium carbonate, and olanzapine to fluoxetine. The primary outcome of the treatment phase is the treatment remission rate and response rate. Secondary outcomes included: symptom scale; Quality of life; Sleep therapy; Symptoms of anxiety; Rumination and safety assessment.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

After receiving fluoxetine and fluoxetine combined with cognitive-behavioral therapy, the next stage of treatment is determined by the patient's response (remission and non-remission) and is scheduled according to the patient's wishes and random assignment.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Investigators Outcome Assessors
Both the patient and the psychiatrist know which group they are allocated to, while the outcome assessor and data analyst are kept blind to the allocation. The clinicians providing the intervention do not perform the assessment and are unaware of the results.

Study Groups
