About this study

The purpose of this study is to study the relationship between insulin and glucose action and neuropsychological functioning (memory, attention, general thinking abilities) in persons with depression.

Medical subject headings
Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Mood Disorders, Insulin Resistance, Depressive Disorder, Major, Depressive Disorder

What is being measured

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

  1. To quantify insulin-mediated glucose uptake as assessed by the SSPG concentration in patients with depression and compare the values to those previously obtained in a healthy age-matched control population

    Measured: Within 3 hours of initial infusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To examine the association between insulin resistance and cognitive performance and clinical course of depression in patients with depression

    Measured: 1 wk

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2017. 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.

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 quantify insulin-mediated glucose uptake as assessed by the SSPG concentration in patients with depression and compare the values to those previously obtained in a healthy age-matched control population (time frame: Within 3 hours of initial infusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01106313, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Oct 2017.
