About this study
Official title: Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Randomized Trial of Adjunctive Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate in Residual Symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder Partially Responsive to Selective Serotonin or Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor Monotherapy
This study aims to test the effect of a newly-approved stimulant medication, lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (Vyvanse), on specific residual symptoms of depression found in some patients who are undergoing treatment with, but have only partially responded to, a selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or selective-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressant. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that symptoms potentially related to deficient dopaminergic activity, such as lassitude, apathy, reduced positive affect and impaired executive function, in particular, will improve. This protocol is designed to test the hypothesis that this cluster of co-occurring residual symptoms sometimes found in treated depression will respond as a group to adjunctive psychostimulant therapy. The investigators propose to demonstrate this cluster of residual depressive symptoms and to measure the effect of stimulant therapy on it. The investigators hope to better understand the specific symptoms in this clinical population that are likely to improve with stimulant therapy.
Read the detailed description
This protocol is designed to test the hypothesis that a cluster of co-occurring residual symptoms sometimes found in treated depression will respond as a group to psychostimulant therapy. This cluster includes apathy, reduced drive, fatigue, impaired executive function and other cognitive measures, and low positive affect. We propose to measure this cluster of symptoms in a population of residually depressed subjects demonstrating them, and then to measure the effect of stimulant therapy on this cluster, and each constituent symptom, as well as to measure its effect on subjects' overall functional impairment, and to document treatment emergent adverse effects. The goal is to gather data about the response of these residual symptoms to stimulant therapy. Since each subject will be exposed to active treatment and matched placebo, a benefit to individual participants will be to learn if their specific symptom burden is ameliorated by stimulant therapy, and what adverse effects may emerge for them. We hope to develop an understanding of the specific symptoms in this clinical population that are likely to improve with stimulant therapy. We also hope to be able to characterize the side effect burden of stimulant therapy in this clinical population.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline in the Dysphoric Apathy/Retardation Sub-factor (MDAR) of Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) at 4 Weeks.
The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale Dysphoric Apathy Retardation subfactor (MDAR) is a 5-item subscale of the clinician-administered 10-item Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). MDAR score can range from 0-30 with a higher score representing a greater severity of depressive symptoms.
Measured: Baseline to 4 weeks of treatment

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study aims to test the effect of a newly-approved stimulant medication, lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (Vyvanse), on specific residual symptoms of depression found in some patients who are undergoing treatment with, but have only partially responded to, a selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or selective-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressant. Specifically, the investigators hypothesize that symptoms potentially related to deficient dopaminergic activity, such as lassitude, apathy, reduced positive affect and impaired executive function, in particular, will improve. This protocol is designed to test the hypothesis that this cluster of co-occurring residual symptoms sometimes found in treated depression will respond as a group to adjunctive psychostimulant therapy. The investigators propose to demonstrate this cluster of residual depressive symptoms and to measure the effect of stimulant therapy on it. The investigators hope to better understand the specific symptoms in this clinical population that are likely to improve with stimulant therapy.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate (Vyvanse) in people with Major Depressive Disorder, run by Mclean Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 17 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 May 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 May 2017). 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?
Change From Baseline in the Dysphoric Apathy/Retardation Sub-factor (MDAR) of Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) at 4 Weeks. (time frame: Baseline to 4 weeks of treatment). 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 NCT01148979, which also lists 12 linked publications.
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 May 2017.
