What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To test whether duloxetine 60-120 mg daily, when combined with non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by remission rate (proportion of patients with HAMD17 score < or = 7 at endpoint)

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. To test whether duloxetine 60-120 mg daily, when combined with non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone as measured by: Mean change (baseline to endpoint) on HAMD17

  2. To test whether duloxetine 60-120 mg daily, when combined with non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by response rates (> or = 50% decrease from baseline to endpoint on HAMD17)

  3. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by HAMD17 subscales (Core, Maier, Anxiety/Somatization, Retardation/Somatization, Sleep & General Somatic Symptoms item)

  4. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by mean change from baseline to endpoint on the revised Mood and Physical symptoms of Depression scale (MAP-D)

  5. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by treatment adherence as measured by the Morisky Medication Adherence Questionnaire and study drug compliance

  6. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI - Severity) Rating Scale

  7. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI - Improvement) Rating Scale

  8. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by patient satisfaction with medication and treatment overall as measured by a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  9. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by attitudes to taking medicines as measured by the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ)

  10. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Quality of Life and Health Outcome measure: EuroQol Questionnaire (EQ-5D)

  11. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Quality of Life and Health Outcome measure: Symptom Questionnaire

  12. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Quality of Life and Health Outcome measure: Somatic Subscale (SQ-SS)

  13. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Quality of Life and Health Outcome measure: 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)

  14. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Quality of Life and Health Outcome measure: Resource Use and Hospitalization Module

  15. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by painful physical symptoms of depression as measured by the VAS for Pain

  16. To evaluate safety and tolerability of duloxetine 60-120 mg daily when combined with non-pharmacological intervention and duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, as measured by spontaneously reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

  17. To evaluate the incidence of adverse events during Study Period III (optional taper period) as measured by spontaneously reported adverse events

  18. To validate a revised version of the MAP-D (a novel scale for the measurement of emotional and physical symptoms of depression) in European outpatients with depression

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing duloxetine in people with Depression, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 1 site in Austria.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 2 Jul 2007. 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 Austria. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

To test whether duloxetine 60-120 mg daily, when combined with non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by remission rate (proportion of patients with HAMD17 score < or = 7 at endpoint). 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 2 Jul 2007.
