About this study

Official title: A 12-Week Open-Label Trial of Once-Weekly Fluoxetine for the Treatment of Depression in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease

The purpose of this study is to test whether once-weekly prozac therapy leads to reduction in depression in patients requiring kidney dialysis.

Read the detailed description

Once-weekly Prozac is a psychiatric medicine, approved by the FDA for the use in treatment of psychiatric disorders. This study will test whether once-weekly Prozac leads to reduced symptoms of depression. Patients requiring dialysis often report symptoms of depression either due to the presence of major depression, a relatively common psychiatric disorder, or due to depression secondary to kidney failure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fluoxetine in people with Depression, run by Creighton University at 2 sites 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 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Determine the efficacy and tolerability of once-weekly fluoxetine in patients with End Stage Renal Disorder who have been diagnosed with depression (time frame: Patients will come in for once weekly visits for 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 16 Aug 2011.
