About this study

Official title: The Effect of Advair Diskus Treatment on Depression in Nursing Home Residents With COPD

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of treatment with Advair Diskus on depression using the Cornell depression scale in COPD patients in the nursing home.

Read the detailed description

We are studying 35 residents in the ECF with a diagnosis of COPD. We are evaluating them for depressive symptoms using the Cornell Depression Scale and the MDS 3.0 section D. We are selecting patients who are not currently on treatment with Advair and starting them on Advair Diskus50/250 1 inhalation bid for a period of 16 weeks and reassessing the Cornell Depression SCale and MDS3.0 section D looking for any changes. We are also going to measure FEV1 and FVC using spirometry before treatment and at the end of 16 weeks. This is a pilot study. The numbers are not necessarily adequate to achieve statistical difference-we are looking for trends.

What is being measured

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

  1. To Determine the Effect of Treating COPD Patients With Advair Diskus for 16 Weeks on the Cornell Depression Scale or Section D SUM of the Minimum Data Set 3.0

    The Cornell Depression Scale ranges from 0-38, with a score 12 points or more indicating probable depression. Section D SUM o f the Minimum Date Set 3.0 is an assessment tool of health status for all residents (regardless of payer) of long-term care facilities certified to participate in Medicare or Medicaid. Scores range from 0 to 27, with a higher score indicating more depression.

    Measured: 16 weeks

  2. To Determine if Changes in Pulmonary Function (FEC/FVC) Were Associated With a Reduction in Depression as Assessed by Using the Cornell Depression Scale or Section D SUM of the Minimum Data Set 3.0 During Advair Diskus Treatment.

    FEC is Forced Expiratory Capacity and FVC is Forced Vital Capacity. The Cornell Depression Scale ranges from 0-38, with a score 12 points or more indicating probable depression. Section D SUM o f the Minimum Date Set 3.0 is an assessment tool of health status for all residents (regardless of payer) of long-term care facilities certified to participate in Medicare or Medicaid. Scores range from 0 to 27, with a higher score indicating more depression.

    Measured: 16 weeks

  3. Pulmonary Function FEC/FVC Ratio at 16 Weeks

    To measure whether pulmonary function, determined by the ratio between FEC (Forced Expiratory Capacity) and FVC (Forced Vital Capacity), improved during 16 weeks of Advair Diskus administration.

    Measured: 16 weeks

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jul 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Determine the Effect of Treating COPD Patients With Advair Diskus for 16 Weeks on the Cornell Depression Scale or Section D SUM of the Minimum Data Set 3.0 (time frame: 16 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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?
