Clinical Trial Summary

Our overall objective is to evaluate the efficacy of therapist-assisted, internet-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (iCBT) for depressed cardiac patients with respect to clinical outcomes, and the feasibility of the program. Our primary outcome will be depression severity; secondary outcomes will be hospitalization for a cardiac cause, recurrent myocardial infarction or revascularization. The study will inform a proposal to incorporate iCBT into the resources routinely available to cardiac patients following hospitalization for a cardiac event.


Clinical Trial Description

We are planning we are planning a single-arm, open label trial to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of iCBT among persistently depressed cardiac patients. Cardiac patients will be recruited from inpatient units in a university-affiliated hospital and screened for depression at 4 and possibly 8 or 12 weeks following discharge. Eligible patients will be enrolled in the iCBT program.Data regarding the primary outcome, improvement in depression severity, will be collected at completion of the intervention and at 8 weeks after completion. In addition to depression severity data, we will also obtain other data related to clinical feasibility, such as treatment adherence and the acceptability of the intervention to patients. Self-reported rates of hospital readmission or emergency visits for a cardiac cause will also be tracked. ;
