About this study

Official title: Quetiapine Augmentation to SRIs for Patients With Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study

Quetiapine (Seroquel ®), an atypical antipsychotic registered for use in schizophrenia, which has a very low propensity of extrapyramidal and endocrine side-effects, has also been studied as an adjunct in OCD. In an open trial, ten patients with OCD who had not responded to at least three previous treatments with a SRI at maximum dose and duration were assigned to receive quetiapine in addition to a SRI for 8 weeks. Given the efficacy of quetiapine in treatment resistant patients, and given its rapid onset of action (4-6 weeks), it is postulated that the combination of a low dose atypical antipsychotic and a standard dosage of an SRI as a treatment for patients with OCD might increase the number of responders as well as the effect size.

PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.

What is being measured

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

  1. The change in Yale Brown obsessive compulsive scale (Y-BOCS) from baseline to week 10 and the number of responders are the primary efficacy parameters.

  2. Criteria for response will be a 25% or greater change from baseline on the Y-BOCS and a final CGI rating of "much improved or "very much improved".

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The onset of response to treatment, using the time to a sustained response as criterion

  2. Side effect profiles, Quality of life, Cognitive functioning

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Quetiapine in people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 21 Jan 2011. 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 Netherlands. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

The change in Yale Brown obsessive compulsive scale (Y-BOCS) from baseline to week 10 and the number of responders are the primary efficacy parameters.. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 21 Jan 2011.
