Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Prospective, Single Arm, Open, Single-center, Feasibility Study to Assess the Effectiveness and Safety of Mobile App (OC Free) for Patients With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
The objective of this feasibility study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential usefulness of the investigational device, a mobile software application (app) (OC Free) for treatment of OCD (contamination obsession only), adjunctive to individuals receiving outpatient ERP therapy. OC Free is an iOS/Android app that provides treatment via computerized exposure and response prevention (ERP). The study will evaluate preliminary safety and effectiveness of the app using gold-standard, validated 'clinician-administered' and 'self-reporting measures.'

Primary | Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCs) | The Y-BOCS is the gold-standard, semi-structured clinician-administered assessment of OCD severity. It contains 10 items ranging from 0 to 4, which are summed to generate a total score (range = 0-40). Higher scores indicate more severe OCD symptoms. The Y-BOCS will be used to assess change in OCD symptoms from baseline to endpoint. | Screening/Baseline (week 0), Endpoint (week 6), Follow-up (week 10) | |
Secondary | Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I) | The CGI-I is a single-item clinician-rated measure of global improvement. Scores range from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse), with scores of 1 or 2 (much improved) indicating positive treatment response. | Endpoint (week 6), Follow-up (week 10) | |
Secondary | Clinical Global Impression-Severity Scale (CGI-S) | The CGI-S is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment. Scores range from 1 (Normal - not at all ill, symptoms of disorder not present past seven days) to 7 (extremely ill - pathology drastically interferes in many life functions; may be hospitalized). | Screening/Baseline (week 0), Endpoint (week 6), Follow-up (week 10) | |
Secondary | Beck Depression Inventory II | The BDI is a 21 item self-reporting measure of depression, rated on a 0-3 scale, with responses being specific to the questions. Total score ranges from 0-63; of which 0-8 is considered no depression, 0-13 is minimal depression, 14-19 is mild depression, 20-28 is moderate depression and 29-63 is severe depression. | Screening/Baseline (week 0), Endpoint (week 6), Follow-up (week 10) | |
Secondary | Beck Anxiety Inventory | The BAI is a 21 item self-reporting measure of anxiety, rated on a 0-3 scale, with 0 being not at all to 3 being severely-it bothered me a lot. A total score of 0-7 is interpreted as a "Minimal" level of anxiety; 8-15 as "Mild"; 16-25 as "Moderate", and; 26-63 as "Severe". | Screening/Baseline (week 0), Endpoint (week 6), Follow-up (week 10) |
