Trial summary

The hypotheses were as follows: H1. Women at low-moderate risk for APD at T1 (baseline EPDS scores of 5-9) in the cognitive behavioral intervention (CBI) group will maintain low-moderate risk status and have significantly fewer APD symptoms at T2 and T3 than women at low-moderate risk for APD in the (TAU) control… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Behavioral Intervention to Reduce Risk of Antepartum Depression

The hypotheses were as follows:

H1. Women at low-moderate risk for APD at T1 (baseline EPDS scores of 5-9) in the cognitive behavioral intervention (CBI) group will maintain low-moderate risk status and have significantly fewer APD symptoms at T2 and T3 than women at low-moderate risk for APD in the (TAU) control group (as measured by percent of participants with EPDS scores <9 at T2 and T3 and mean score changes).

H2: Women at high risk for APD at T1 (baseline EPDS scores ≥10) in the CBI group will have a significantly greater reduction in APD symptoms at T2 and T3 than women at high risk for APD in the TAU control group (as measured by percent of participants with EPDS scores <10 at T2 and T3 and mean score changes).

Read the detailed description

We collected data using Netbooks computers pre-programmed with Qualtrics survey forms.

At baseline (T1), post intervention (T2) and 1-month follow-up (T3), participants were administered the EPDS and the BDI-II and the Dolphin MINI neuropsychiatric Interview version 6. A similar time frame was used for the TAU group. Paired T-tests were used to determine mean change in EPDS scores (primary analysis) and BDI-II scores (secondary analysis) within each of the CBI and TAU groups at T2 and T3. A T-test measured differences in EPDS and BDI-II scores for the same time periods.

  • The sample size was based on the PI's pilot intervention study. Using a conservative estimate of 500 eligible women from both sites per year at a 42% depression risk rate (moderate and high), and a 46% enrollment rate, it will be possible to accrue 97 subjects per year at risk for APD (moderate and high risk) or 193 subjects over the first 24 months of the study. Using the recruitment, retention, and eligibility patterns from the previous study, a total study sample of 124 subjects, 62 in the IP-CBI group and 62 in the TAU control group, allows for a 20% (24) drop-out rate and achieve the goal of 50 women in the IP-CBI and 50 women in the TAU control group.
  • We planned to determine if there were significant differences in EPDS baseline scores in the CBI and TAU groups for the full sample and for the CBI and TAU groups stratified by high or low-moderate risk for antepartum depression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean change in Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) Scores from baseline to post intervention and 1-month follow-up

    Outcomes were mean change in Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) Scores in the CBI and TAU women from baseline (T1) to post-treatment (T2) and 1-month follow-up (T3) in those at low-moderate and high-risk for antepartum depression.

    Measured: Post-treatment and 1-month follow-up and an equivalent time frame for the TAU group

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mean change in antepartum Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) Scores from baseline to post intervention and 1-month follow-up

    Outcomes were mean change in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) Scores in the CBI and TAU women from baseline (T1) to post-treatment (T2) and 1-month follow-up (T3) in those at low-moderate and high-risk for antepartum depression.

    Measured: Post-treatment and 1-month follow-up and an equivalent time frame for the TAU Group

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Insight-Plus Cognitive Behavioral Intervention in people with Depression, run by East Carolina 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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2014. 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.

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?

Mean change in Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) Scores from baseline to post intervention and 1-month follow-up (time frame: Post-treatment and 1-month follow-up and an equivalent time frame for the TAU group). 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 NCT02144844, 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 22 May 2014.
