Trial summary

The investigators aim to develop a prognostic model to predict the risk of relapse within 6-8 months of patients entering remission. The long-term objective is to facilitate more efficient targeting of evidence-based relapse prevention strategies to these patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Development and Validation of a Prognostic Model to PREDICT Relapse of Depression in Adult Patients in Primary Care

The investigators aim to develop a prognostic model to predict the risk of relapse within 6-8 months of patients entering remission. The long-term objective is to facilitate more efficient targeting of evidence-based relapse prevention strategies to these patients.

Read the detailed description

Most patients with depression are treated in primary care by general practitioners (GPs). Relapse of depression is common and leads to considerable morbidity and decreased quality of life for patients. Estimates suggest that at least 50% of patients treated for depression will relapse after a single episode. The majority of these will relapse within 6 months and the risk of relapse increases for each successive episode of depression. GPs see a largely undifferentiated case-mix of patients and, once patients with depression reach remission, there is limited guidance and no validated tools to help GPs stratify patients according to risk of relapse.This study will potentially derive a statistical model to predict relapse of depression in remitted depressed patients in primary care.

The investigators have created a longitudinal cohort of patients drawn from seven randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of non-pharmacological primary care-based interventions for depression and one longitudinal cohort study. The investigators will use logistic regression to predict the outcome of relapse of depression within 6-8 months. The investigators plan to include the following well-evidenced relapse predictors in the model: residual depressive symptoms; number of previous episodes of depression; co-morbid anxiety; and severity of the index episode. They will also control for RCT intervention received by participants.

If sample size and availability of predictor information allows, the investigators will include the following predictors in an exploratory analysis: age; relationship status; multi-morbidity; employment status; gender; and ethnicity. Generalisability will be assessed through internal-external cross-validation and net benefit will be explored.

What is being measured

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

  1. Whether a participant relapses or not within 6-8 months (binary outcome)

    Relapse is the re-emergence of depressive symptoms according to Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9)

    Measured: 6-8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Depression, run by University of York at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 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 25 Jun 2024. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Whether a participant relapses or not within 6-8 months (binary outcome) (time frame: 6-8 months). 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 NCT04666662, 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 25 Jun 2024.
