Placebo Clinical Trial - Assessment of Cost-effectiveness in Two

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Patients suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD) are considered frequent utilizers of psychiatric emergency rooms and of psychiatric hospitalizations. Nonetheless, recent studies challenge the effectiveness of psychiatric hospitalizations in reducing BPD symptoms, and some have even indicated potentially harmful effects such as increasing suicide risk post-discharge. These findings highlight the importance of effective outpatient treatments for BPD patients in public psychiatric hospital settings. In this study we aim to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two empirically-based treatments for BPD: dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and dynamic deconstructive psychotherapy (DDP).

Clinical Trial Description

In this study we aim to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two empirically-based treatments for BPD: dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and dynamic deconstructive psychotherapy (DDP). Sixty-eight participants with BPD will be randomized to each of two treatment groups. Participants and therapists will be recruited from the Shalvata MHC, a 139‐bed psychiatric institution with outpatient units serving a population of more than 600,000 people in Israel. A blinded research assistant will administer primary and secondary outcome measures every 3 months during the 12 months of treatment and at the end of the 6-month naturalistic follow-up period after ending treatment with DDP or DBT. Therapist adherence will be systematically assessed in both treatments for 10% of sessions. Primary outcome measure will be comprised of the Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), as assessed by estimating the healthcare utilization costs per incremental improvement in suicide severity. Secondary outcome measures will include BPD and depression symptom severity and quality of life. This study was submitted to the institutional review board of the Shalvata MHC in November 2019, and is expected to be approved by late Janury 2020. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
