|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00001483 ↗ | Acute Effectiveness of Additional Drugs to the Standard Treatment of Depression | Completed | National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) | Phase 2 | 1995-06-01 | This study will compare the effectiveness of relatively new antidepressants which have different mechanisms of action. Buproprion (Wellbutrin) works on dopamine and the dopaminergic pathway. Sertraline (Zoloft) works as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Venlafaxine (Effexor) works as a mixed serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Subjects enrolled in this study will be patients diagnosed with a bipolar disorder who are presently taking medication to prevent the symptoms of the disease (prophylactic treatment), but have had breakthrough episodes of depression despite taking their medication. Patients will receive any one of the three antidepressant medications as noted above plus a placebo inactive sugar pill, in order to mask which antidepressant is being prescribed) in addition to their regular medication for bipolar disorder. All of the doses will be calculated as effective for the treatment of a unipolar major depressive disorder. The patient will continue receiving the medication for ten weeks. The effectiveness of the drug treatment will be measured by using three different scales; 1. Inventory for Depressive Symptoms - Clinicians form (IDS-C) 2. Clinical Global Impression scale(CGI-BP) 3. Life Charting Methodology (LCM) Patients who do not respond to their medication within ten weeks from the beginning of the study will be considered as non-responders and be offered the opportunity to start the study again, taking one of the two remaining medications. For example, if a patient was assigned to take Wellbutrin but it was ineffective, he/she could re-enter the study and be given either Zoloft or Effexor. Patients that do respond in the first ten weeks of the study will be eligible to continue taking the medication for one year to assess the long term effectiveness of the drug on preventing episodes of depression and to assess for any possible differential induction of mania. |
| NCT00018902 ↗ | Treatment of SSRI-Resistant Depression In Adolescents (TORDIA) | Completed | National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) | Phase 2/Phase 3 | 2001-01-01 | The purpose of the study is to determine how best to treat adolescents with depression that is "resistant" to the first SSRI antidepressant they have tried. Participants receive one of three other antidepressant medications, either alone or in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy. |
| NCT00018902 ↗ | Treatment of SSRI-Resistant Depression In Adolescents (TORDIA) | Completed | University of Pittsburgh | Phase 2/Phase 3 | 2001-01-01 | The purpose of the study is to determine how best to treat adolescents with depression that is "resistant" to the first SSRI antidepressant they have tried. Participants receive one of three other antidepressant medications, either alone or in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy. |
| NCT00026052 ↗ | Riluzole to Treat Major Depression | Completed | National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) | Phase 2 | 2001-11-01 | This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of the drug riluzole (Rilutek® (Registered Trademark)) for short-term treatment of depression symptoms, such as depressed mood, psychomotor retardation, and excessive sleeping. Despite the availability of a wide range of antidepressant drugs, studies indicate that 30 to 40 percent of patients with major depression do not respond to first-line antidepressant treatment with drugs such as fluoxetine, upropion, venlafaxine and others. Riluzole, which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), causes chemical changes in the brain that may also have antidepressant properties. Patients between 18 and 70 years of age with major depressive disorder without psychotic features may be eligible for this 2-stage 7-week study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history and physical examination, including an electrocardiogram (EKG), blood and urine tests, and a psychiatric evaluation. A blood or urine sample will be tested for illegal drugs.Women of childbearing potential will have a pregnancy test. Participants will complete stage 1 of the study, which lasts 1 week, and may then continue with stage 2 for an additional 6 weeks. At the start of the study, patients will be tapered off all psychiatric medicines and will begin treatment with a placebo (a sugar pill formulated to look like the active drug). At some point, they will be switched from placebo to riluzole. In addition, participants will undergo the following procedures: - Physical examination and electrocardiograms (EKG) at the beginning and end of the study, with vital signs (temperature, blood pressure and heart rate) checked daily - Weekly 1-hour interviews consisting of psychiatric and psychomotor rating scales to assess treatment response - Weekly blood tests to measure blood levels of riluzole and evaluate drug side effects At the end of the study, participants' psychiatric status will be reassessed and appropriate long-term psychiatric treatment arranged. Patients, ages 18 to 70 with a diagnosis of major depression without psychotic features, will in this pilot study (single arm, single blind) receive riluzole (50-200 mg/day) for a period of 6 weeks. Acute efficacy will be determined by demonstrating a greater response rate using specified criteria. Approximately 25 patients will enter the study to obtain 22 subjects who complete the 6 weeks of acute riluzole treatment. Therefore, if 7/22 patients or greater have greater than 50% improvement on the primary efficacy measure, then based on statistically guidelines from the Optimal Two Stage Design for Clinical Trials, a controlled trial would be indicated to scientifically confirm the signal observed in the single arm trial. |
| NCT00030914 ↗ | Medroxyprogesterone Compared With Venlafaxine in Treating Hot Flashes in Women | Completed | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | Phase 3 | 2002-04-01 | RATIONALE: Medroxyprogesterone and venlafaxine may be effective in relieving hot flashes. It is not yet known whether venlafaxine is more effective than medroxyprogesterone in relieving hot flashes. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of medroxyprogesterone with that of venlafaxine in treating women who are experiencing hot flashes. |
| NCT00030914 ↗ | Medroxyprogesterone Compared With Venlafaxine in Treating Hot Flashes in Women | Completed | Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology | Phase 3 | 2002-04-01 | RATIONALE: Medroxyprogesterone and venlafaxine may be effective in relieving hot flashes. It is not yet known whether venlafaxine is more effective than medroxyprogesterone in relieving hot flashes. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of medroxyprogesterone with that of venlafaxine in treating women who are experiencing hot flashes. |
