Trial summary

The objective of this project is to determine the concordance between the subjective and objective evaluation of cognitive functions in affective patients in partial remission through scales and cognitive tests that would be easily implemented in the different mental health care devices.

About this study

The objective of this project is to determine the concordance between the subjective and objective evaluation of cognitive functions in affective patients in partial remission through scales and cognitive tests that would be easily implemented in the different mental health care devices.

This is a cross-sectional case-control study of non-probabilistic sampling, which will include a group of patients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder and a group of healthy controls from the same population and matched by age, gender and years of education with the group of patients.

Patients will be recruited from the psychiatric service of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau who meet the inclusion criteria, and they will undergo a blood draw, a clinical assessment, a complete neuropsychological examination together with scales of subjective perception of cognitive deficit, a measure of cognitive reserve and an evaluation of psychosocial functionality. In addition, the same evaluation will be made to a group of healthy subjects.The total sample will be 120

Read the detailed description

This is a cross-sectional study with the following hypotheses and objectives:

  1. Patients will show an objective cognitive deficit with both subjective and objective measures compared to healthy controls.
  2. Subjectively and objectively assessed cognitive deficits will show moderate agreement in patients with a depressive episode in partial remission, as each assesses different aspects of cognition.
  3. Both the subjective and the objective assessment will have a high agreement between patients with DM and TB, demonstrating the transdiagnostic nature of self-assessed and heteroassessed cognitive deficits.
  4. Cognitive Reserve will be a mediating factor in the correlation between subjective and objective cognitive evaluation.
  5. BDNF and GSH will be associated with the patients' cognitive deficit and will act as mediators between the subjective and objective assessment.

Main Objective:

To study the impact of cognitive reserve and trophic factors and oxidative stress as transdiagnostic markers of cognitive symptoms (subjective and objective) in patients with DM and TB.

  1. Cognitively assess patients with DM and TB (in a depressive episode) through subjective assessment and objective assessment.
  2. Evaluate the possible implementation of objective (SCIP) and subjective (COBRA, PDQ) cognitive assessment instruments.
  3. Determine the degree of agreement between both types of cognitive assessment both intra-patient and inter-diagnostic.
  4. Determine the factors associated with the degree of agreement between both assessments (Cognitive Reserve, BDNF and GSH) in and between both affective disorders.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Disorder, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau at 1 site in Spain.

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 5 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 31 Aug 2022. 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 Spain. 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?

Cognitive outcome (time frame: 1 assessment). 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 31 Aug 2022.
