Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine a) the longer-term effects of ketamine for treating depression in Parkinson's disease (PD) and b) the effects of CBT on maintaining the effects of ketamine.

Detailed Description

This is a roll-out study from the ongoing clinical trial (KET-PD trial; NCT04944017, HIC 2000030394). We will adopt an implementation science approach to have participants across ketamine and placebo groups in one of two arms: a) follow-up with treatment as usual (TAU) (at 3 and 6 months post-infusions); b) follow-up with 3 months of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) post-infusions, delivered remotely once per week, with follow-up assessments at 3 and 6 month timepoints. CBT is expected to have a superior sustained antidepressant response to the TAU follow-up group in both ketamine and placebo arms. We hypothesize that ketamine + CBT will show the most superior antidepressant response at follow-up.

Arms & Interventions

Experimental: Ketamine Infusion

Participants who received 6 infusions of ketamine (0.5 mg/kg IV, up to 60 mg total), administered over 40 minutes while on continuous cardiac monitoring and oximetry in the ongoing clinical trial (KET-PD trial; NCT04944017, HIC 2000030394)

Intervention: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) (Other)

Placebo Comparator: Saline Infusion

Participants who received 6 infusions of placebo (saline IV), administered over 40 minutes while on continuous cardiac monitoring and oximetry in the ongoing clinical trial (KET-PD trial; NCT04944017, HIC 2000030394)

Intervention: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) (Other)

Experimental: Ketamine Infusion

Participants who received 6 infusions of ketamine (0.5 mg/kg IV, up to 60 mg total), administered over 40 minutes while on continuous cardiac monitoring and oximetry in the ongoing clinical trial (KET-PD trial; NCT04944017, HIC 2000030394)

Intervention: Treatment As Usual (TAU) (Other)

Placebo Comparator: Saline Infusion

Participants who received 6 infusions of placebo (saline IV), administered over 40 minutes while on continuous cardiac monitoring and oximetry in the ongoing clinical trial (KET-PD trial; NCT04944017, HIC 2000030394)

Intervention: Treatment As Usual (TAU) (Other)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Long-Term Change in Depression Severity

Time Frame: 3 Months and 6 Months

Change in MADRS score following course of ketamine vs. placebo treatment at 3 and 6 month timepoints; and change in MADRS across treatment (ketamine/placebo) and follow-up (CBT/TAU) arms at 3 and 6 month timepoints. The scale used to measure depression severity is called The Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). The MADRS is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60, higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Change in Anxiety(3 Months and 6 Months)
  • Change in Dyskinesia(3 Months and 6 Months)
  • Change in Fatigue(3 Months and 6 Months)
  • Change in Pain(3 Months and 6 Months)
  • Change in Apathy(3 Months and 6 Months)
  • Change in Anhedonia(3 Months and 6 Months)
  • Change in Parkinson's Symptom Severity(3 Months and 6 Months)
