Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 60 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age greater or equal to 60 years.
  • Patients with history of major affective disorder, including Bipolar disorder type I or type II or major depressive disorder, as assessed by the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID), currently in remission.
  • Difficulty starting or initiating sleep four or more times/week for at least 3 months by history.
  • Total Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index >5.

Who cannot join

  • Patient in an acute mood episode as assessed by SCID
  • Patients with sleep disruptive medical problems including: sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, periodic limb movement, parasomnia, congestive heart failure, chronic pain and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as assessed by medical history and medical record review.
  • Patients with schizophrenia, primary anxiety disorder and active substance abuse as determined by SCID.
  • Patients on or with history of failure or intolerance to respond to quetiapine.
  • Patient with positive Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) with a total score above 8.
  • Patients with dementia brain degenerative diseases, cognitive disorders and Mini Mental Status Examination (MMSE) score of less or equal to 24.
  • Patients who are in an acute depressive, manic, hypomanic or mixed state as reflected by SCID
  • Patients on concurrent sedating medications that would confound interpretation of the results. This is operationalized as follow: Sedating medications must be present and stable dosage for at least 14 days prior to enrollment in the study. If the medication is not prescribed as a primary sleep aid, it will be continued. Our rationale is that patients may need these medications and the initial sedating effect will have plateaued by 14 days. However, medications prescribed to assist insomnia will be discontinued as they are not effective for the subjects who otherwise meet inclusion ad exclusion criteria for the current study. Medications will be tapered as clinically indicated after the patients sing informed consent and prior to baseline assessment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Quetiapine and Cogntive behavioral therapy in people with Insomnia, run by Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PTSQ (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Apr 2013.
