Depressive Disorder, Major Clinical Trial
Official title:
Abilify (Aripiprazole) as an Adjunctive Treatment for Refractory Unipolar Depression
This is a study of the effectiveness of adding Abilify (aripiprazole), an atypical antipsychotic medication, to ongoing selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant treatment for depressed outpatients who are not responding fully to SSRI treatment alone. It is hypothesized that patients' functioning will improve after 12 weeks of treatment with Aripiprazole and SSRI medication.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) | Clinician rated measure of depression, mean score; this study used the 24 item version of the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale; item scores range from 0 to 4 on some items, 0 to 2 or 0 to 3 on other items; range of total score = 0 to 75, with higher score indicating worse depression Response (>50% decrease) Remission (score<=7) Outcome is the number of these subjects whose depression "responded" after treatment with aripiprazole, which means a 50% or greater decrease in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale scores at week 12. | 12 weeks | No |
Secondary | Clinical Global Impressions Improvement Scale (CGI) | clinician rated improvement, score on CGI scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse) | 12 weeks | No |
Secondary | Change in Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAFS) | Ranging from 0 to 100, with higher score indicating better global functioning. Outcome is the post-treatment GAFS score compared to the pre-treatment GAFS score. | baseline and 12 weeks | No |
Secondary | Change in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Score | 21 item patient rated assessment of depression symptoms, with item scores ranging from 0 to 3. Total BDI scores can range from 0 to 63, with higher scores indicating worse depression.
