About this study

  • duration of study : 24 months

  • Aim :Principal

Evaluate the interest of maintenance rTMS in a one-year double blind randomized controlled study for TRD patients.

Secondary

Evaluate the impact of rTMS on cognitive functions.

Read the detailed description

The study involves 40 TRD patients in a single site trial which consisted of two phases: an acute phase (phase I) in which all the participants receive active high-frequency stimulation during 4 blocks of five consecutive working days (Monday to Friday) in an open-label design and a maintenance phase (phase II) in which responders (> 49% HDRS-17 reduction from baseline) at the end of the phase I are randomized in two arms with sham or active high-frequency rTMS maintenance treatment for the eleven following months. The rhythm of rTMS sessions in this maintenance phase is gradually reduced as follows: 3 sessions per week for 2 weeks, 2 session per week for the 2 following weeks, 1 session per week the third (M3) and fourth month (M4) and then 1 session every fortnight the last eight months (M5 to M12).

What is being measured

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

  1. 'Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS)

    The efficacy variables included the HDRS-17 item scores, the CGI changes, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Hospital Anxiety Depression (HAD).

    The subjective assessment performed with the VAS consisted of a 100-mm horizontal line oriented with anchors placed at both poles for reassured, sadness, anxiety, and relief. The patients are asked to mark a spot along this line that best indicated the magnitude of their state for each item.

    Measured: one years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in people with Major Depressive Disorder, run by Centre hospitalier de Ville-Evrard, France at 1 site in France.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2015. 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 France. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dominique januel, MD.Phd (0143093232, domjanuel@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

'Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS) (time frame: one years). 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Mar 2015.
