  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Study population: Each patient completing the 16 weeks of CAN-BIND who have previously met DSM-IV-TR criteria for Major Depressive Episode (MDE) in MDD as determined by MINI.

Who may be able to join

  • Each patient completing the 16 weeks of CAN-BIND who have previously met DSM-IV-TR criteria for Major Depressive Episode (MDE) in MDD as determined by MINI.

Who cannot join

  • Any Axis I diagnosis, other than MDD, that is considered the primary diagnosis.
  • Bipolar I or Bipolar II diagnosis (lifetime), MDD with psychotic features (lifetime), schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.
  • Presence of a significant Axis II diagnosis (borderline, antisocial).
  • High suicidal risk, defined by clinician judgement.

About this study

Official title: CAN-BIND (Canadian Biomarker Integration Network for Depression): Long-Term Follow Up Study

The LTFU study will conduct a naturalistic follow up of the well characterized CAN-BIND study population of patients every six months and continuing over a five-year period. This will provide information on the longitudinal progress in mood, functioning, and quality of life of the CAN-BIND sample with a view towards long-term outcome and treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is a long-term follow up study of the 'Canadian Biomarker Integration Network in Depression' (CAN-BIND) study. The CAN-BIND study examines biological markers of antidepressant treatment response. The examined biomarkers included clinical, imaging, and genetic components. The Long Term Follow up (LTFU) study will continue to follow the patients in this study each six months over a five year period. By doing so, a comprehensive clinical outcome data on a well characterized cohort of depressed patients will be obtained.

The research team will conduct a naturalistic study of CAN-BIND participants and will monitor the longitudinal progress in mood, functioning, and quality of life, with a view towards advising future treatment options. Each patient completing CAN-BIND will be asked to participate in the LTFU study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) (Montgomery and Asberg 1979) scores from CAN-BIND baseline

    Clinical response (equal to or greater than 50% reduction in MADRS scores from CAN-BIND baseline); Relapse is determined if the MADRS score is greater than or equal to 22 or there is suicidal ideation with intent, or suicidal behaviour.

    Measured: Every six months up to Year 5

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Longitudinal Interval Follow-up Evaluation (LIFE) (Keller et al., 1978)

    The LIFE is a clinician-rated interview that provides a structure for collecting and coding data on the longitudinal course of psychopathology. It allows for precise dating of onset and offset of symptoms (including sub-syndromal symptoms) and ranks severity on a week by week basis.

    Measured: Every six months up to Year 5

  2. Life Events and Difficulties Schedule (LEDS) (Brown & Harris, 1978)

    The LEDS is a semi-structured interview that collects detailed contextual information regarding acute stressful life events and chronic difficulties in several domains.

    Measured: Every six months up to Year 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Major Depressive Disorder, run by Sidney Kennedy at 5 sites in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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 3 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Canada. 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?

Change in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) (Montgomery and Asberg 1979) scores from CAN-BIND baseline (time frame: Every six months up to Year 5). 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 NCT02998762, which also lists 3 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 3 Nov 2020.
