简要总结
This is a parallel arm randomized (1:1) controlled trial. Adolescents aged 12-17 years (n=452) who are starting or changing a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) for depression will be randomly allocated to receive 12-weeks of pharmacogenetic-guided antidepressant therapy (experimental intervention) or GLAD-PC guided prescribing (control intervention).
详细描述
Goal: To test the efficacy of pharmacogenetic-guided antidepressant prescribing for adolescents with depression.
Background: For an adolescent with moderate to severe depression, antidepressant medication is prescribed, often in combination with psychotherapy. The class of antidepressants recommended for use is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) with fluoxetine recommended as the first-line medication, and four other SSRIs recommended for consideration (sertraline, citalopram, escitalopram, fluvoxamine) if the adolescent does not respond or tolerate fluoxetine. For most adolescents, medication prescribing, and monitoring will be managed by a primary care physician or community pediatrician rather than by a mental health care provider, and guidelines exist to support this management (Guidelines for Adolescent Depression in Primary Care, GLAD-PC). However, GLAD-PC does not account for SSRI metabolism phenotypes that could change whether the SSRI selected is efficacious or tolerated. Our team of researchers, clinician scientists, patient partners, and primary care providers has designed a trial to test the impact of accounting for metabolism phenotypes, through pharmacogenetic-guided antidepressant prescribing, on adolescent outcomes, experiences, and health care utilization.
Principal Question: Compared to GLAD-PC informed prescribing, does pharmacogenetic-guided prescribing for depressed adolescents have superior efficacy following 12-weeks of therapy with a SSRI?
The Trial: This is a parallel arm randomized controlled trial. Adolescents aged 12-17 years (n=452) who are starting or changing a SSRI for depression will be randomly allocated to receive pharmacogenetic-guided antidepressant therapy (experimental intervention) or GLAD-PC guided prescribing (control intervention). Participants and prescribing physicians will be blinded to which intervention was received. The primary outcome is depressive symptom remission at 12 weeks measured using the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Adolescent (17-item) (QIDS-A17). Secondary outcomes include side effects, role functioning, medication adherence, and health-related quality of life measured 4-, 8-, and 12-weeks after intervention initiation as well as cost-effectiveness.
