Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients seeking treatment for new on-set depression from academic programs and affiliated community mental health facilities (inpatient and outpatient

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosed with BDI, BDII, or MDD, confirmed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID).
  • Currently depressed for ≥4 weeks and ≤104 weeks, without psychotic features,
  • MADRS score ≥ 20 (consistent with at least moderately-severe depression)
  • YMRS score ≤ 8 (consistent with the absence of hypomanic symptoms)

Who cannot join

  • At high risk for suicide, defined as a score ≥4 on item 10 of the MADRS
  • Current depression has psychotic features, diagnosed with the SCID
  • Meeting criteria for severe alcohol, cannabis, or THC use disorders, as defined by DSM-5 and confirmed by the SCID, in the past 3 months, or meeting criteria for other substance use disorders of any severity (eg. cocaine use disorder). For substances other than alcohol, cannabis, and opioids, a positive drug screen at both the screening and baseline visits is also exclusionary. Caffeine and nicotine use disorders of any severity will not be exclusionary.
  • Diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, diagnosed with the Zanarini Rating Scale for Borderline Personality Disorder.

  • Any acute unstable medical illness (at the discretion of the site investigator)
  • In MDD patients: strong risk factors for bipolarity, including 1) short (1-3 day) mood elevations not meeting DSM-5 time criteria for hypomania; 2) a family history of BDI or BDII in a first-degree relative; and 3) a history of antidepressant-induced symptoms suggestive of bipolarity, particularly antidepressant-induced hypo/mania.

About this study

Official title: A Validation Study to Measure the Impact of a Proteomic Assay in Distinguishing Bipolar I Disorder, Bipolar II Disorder, and Major Depressive Disorder in People Presenting With a Major Depressive Episode

The purpose of this study is to validate a set of signatures, based on a panel of proteomic markers, that discriminate BDI, BDII, and MDD in people seeking treatment for a depressive episode.

Read the detailed description

This is a hypothesis-driven confirmatory study to validate the diagnostic signature (model) for distinguishing BDI from MDD that also aims to optimize the models to discriminate BDII from MDD and BDI. A binary classification model, using linear discriminant analysis and based on 13 a priori-defined proteomic markers will aim to distinguish BDI from MDD. An alternative binary classification model based on multiple logistic regression and using 10 a priori -defined proteomic markers will aim for the same result. To improve the predictive performance of the signatures, items from self-report mood rating scales and treatment-emergent changes in proteomic markers will be analyzed. In addition, the study will examine if baseline or early treatment-emergent changes in proteomic markers predict treatment response.

What is being measured

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

  1. Agreement between the model derived diagnosis (based on panel of serum proteomic markers) and the clinical diagnosis (confirmed by the SCID DSM-5)

    Linear discriminant analysis and multiple logistic regression will be used to create three diagnostic models for the proteomic markers (BDI vs MDD, BDI vs BDII and BDII vs MDD). The patient's model diagnosis will be compared to the patient's clinical diagnoses (based on SCID DSM -5) and the proportion of concordant classifications will be calculated.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Self-report clinical rating scales (IDS-SR30, PHQ-9, MDQ, HCL-32 and TEMPS-A)

    Additional clinical characterization of the patient and their depressive episode will be obtained through analysis of the self-report clinical rating scales and used to optimize the predictive performance of the proteomic signatures.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2 and Week 8

  2. Changes in proteomic markers at Week 2 and Week 8

    Proteomic markers will be analyzed at weeks 2 and 8 to observe for any treatment-emergent changes to increase the predictive validity of the proteomic signatures.

    Measured: Week 2 and Week 8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar I and Bipolar II, run by Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc. at 5 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 9 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 14 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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.

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?

Agreement between the model derived diagnosis (based on panel of serum proteomic markers) and the clinical diagnosis (confirmed by the SCID DSM-5) (time frame: Baseline). 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 14 May 2020.
