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

  • Usual dose treatment of TandospironeDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients whose Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) score change downwards ≥ 50% from baseline to 6 weeks treatment

    HAMA score changes downwards ≥ 50% indicate significant improvement; HAMA score changes downwards ≥ 75% indicate remission

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. HAMA score changes from baseline to 6 weeks treatment

    Scores 14-21 indicate mild anxiety; scores 21-29 indicate moderate anxiety; scores over 29 indicate severe anxiety

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Percentage of patients whose HAMA score ≤ 7 after 6 weeks treatment

    Scores ≤ 7 indicate non-anxious

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. HAMA factor score changes after treatment

    Measured: 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Usual dose treatment of Tandospirone and Comparative high dose of tandospirone treatment in people with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, run by Marubeni Pharmaceuticals (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 14 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 7 Jan 2020. 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 China. 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?

Percentage of patients whose Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) score change downwards ≥ 50% from baseline to 6 weeks treatment (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 NCT01614041, which also lists 2 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 7 Jan 2020.
