About this study

Official title: Development and Piloting of CBT for Insomnia in Youth With Comorbid Depression

This study will develop and test a youth cognitive behavioral insomnia intervention to be employed as an adjunct to depression-focused cognitive behavioral treatments. The primary goal of the study is to improve the treatment and prevention of youth depression beyond that achieved with depression-focused pharmacotherapy and psychotherapies. The investigators' ultimate aim in developing this intervention is to enable a series of future outcome trials focused on improving unipolar depression outcomes in youth with comorbid insomnia, by addressing sleep dysfunction. The study will be recruiting from Kaiser Health Plan members in the Portland,Oregon metropolitan area and participants from the Bay Area region of California.

Read the detailed description

This controlled clinical trial (RCT) will be conducted at the Portland and UC Berkeley sites, directed respectively by Drs. Clarke and Harvey. We are conducting this small RCT at both sites is to establish the feasibility of conducting a fully-powered RCT at multiple sites to be funded by a later, separate R01 application..

Our goal is to enroll 20-30 cases at each of the two sites, for a total of up to 60 youth (30 per study condition). We propose to enroll this modest sample over a 12 month recruitment period. We expect facilitated referrals from several sources, different at each site. In Portland recruitment will be from the 16 HMO pediatric clinics in the Portland metropolitan area. In Berkeley recruitment will come in part from another region of the same HMO, with referrals facilitated by the Kaiser Permanente Department of Research in Oakland, a sister organization to Dr. Clarke's Center for Health Research (CHR) in Kaiser's Northwest region. Referrals will also come from the UBC Psychology Clinic and Dr. Harvey's Sleep and Psychological Disorders Laboratory.

Identified parents and teens will be sent study recruitment letters followed by phone calls to screened for initial eligibility. If the teen appears to be eligible the teen and parent will be scheduled to come to a baseline assessment interview. The baseline assessment is expected to take between 2-3 hours and in appreciation of their time the teen will receive a gift card for $20 and the parent will receive a gift card for $10. If the teen is eligible they will be randomized to either the control arm: sessions in time management and sleep hygiene as well as sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, or the experimental arm: a combination of CBT therapy sessions for insomnia and depression. Sessions will last from 10-12 weeks. Follow up assessments will be conducted at 12 and 26 weeks for both parent and teen with the same participant incentives as the Baseline. The teen will be asked to wear the ActiGraph watch and keep sleep diary several times throughout their enrollment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia and depression in people with Depression and Insomnia, run by Kaiser Permanente at 2 sites in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 15 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Depression remission (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00949689, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Nov 2012.
