Biomarkers of Response to Treatment With Frontal Cortex Stimulation for Anxious Depression
Description

This is an add-on study to an existing multimodal neuroimaging study in MDD by investigating the acute effects of DLPFC tDCS on threat vigilance in 24-44 patients with MDD, as part of an open-label treatment intervention study. Behavioral and neural measures of threat vigilance will be taken acutely and investigated as predictors of subsequent treatment response to a four-week, fourteen-session DLPFC tDCS intervention, using a novel home-tDCS protocol. The design takes advantage of an existing rich set of candidate baseline behavioral, neural and molecular measures from the existing neuroimaging study, which could be used to predict treatment response to tDCS and thereby, aid future patient selection for clinical trials.

The Effects of Vilazodone on Glutamate in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex in Anxious Unipolar Depressives
Description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether vilazodone is more effective than citalopram for the treatment of anxious depression. We will use neuroimaging to see whether there are changes in the brains of patients receiving the drug vilazodone that are different from those of citalopram. These changes may show that vilazodone affects the brain differently than most other kinds of standard antidepressant medications.

Transdiagnostic Psychotherapy for Veterans With Mood and Anxiety Disorders
Description

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a brief, efficient, and effective psychotherapy for individuals with depressive and anxiety disorders. However, CBT is largely underutilized within Veteran Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) due to the cost and burden of trainings necessary to deliver the large number of CBT protocols. Transdiagnostic CBT, in contrast, is specifically designed to address numerous distinct disorders within a single protocol. This transdiagnostic approach has the potential to dramatically improve the accessibility of CBT within VAMCs and therefore improve clinical outcomes of Veterans. The proposed research seeks to evaluate the efficacy of a transdiagnostic CBT by assessing clinical outcomes and quality of life in VAMC patients with depressive and anxiety disorders throughout the course of treatment and in comparison to an existing evidence-based psychotherapy, behavioral activation treatment.

COMPLETED

Study of Neuro-Cognitive Correlates of Pediatric Anxiety Disorders
Description

Study Description: This study examines relations between neurocognitive and clinical features of pediatric anxiety disorders. The study uses neuro-cognitive tasks, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), as well as magneto- and electro-encephalography (M/EEG). Patients will be studied over one year, before and after receiving either one of two standard-of-care treatments: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or fluoxetine, a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Healthy comparisons will be studied at comparable time points. Primary Objectives: To compare healthy youth and symptomatic, medication-free pediatric patients studied prior to receipt of treatment. The study seeks to detect relations between clinical features of anxiety disorders at baseline and a wide range of neurocognitive features associated with attention, memory, and response to motivational stimuli. Secondary Objectives: 1. To document relations between baseline neurocognitive features and response to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or fluoxetine, as defined by the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS) and Clinical Global Improvement (CGI) Scale. 2. To document relations between post-treatment changes in neurocognitive features and anxiety symptoms on the PARS following treatment with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or fluoxetine. 3. To document relations among broad arrays of clinical, cognitive, and neural measures Primary Endpoints: Indices of percent-signal change in hypothesized brain regions, comprising amygdala, striatum, and prefrontal cortex (PFC) for each fMRI and MEG paradigm. Secondary Endpoints: 1. Treatment-response as defined by a continuous measure, the Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale score (PARS), and a categorial measure, the Clinical Global Improvement (CGI) score. 2. Levels of symptoms and behaviors evoked by tasks that engage attention, memory, and elicit responses to motivational stimuli.

COMPLETED
Acamprosate in Alcoholics With Comorbid Anxiety or Depression
Description

STUDY OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of acamprosate versus placebo in the treatment of alcohol dependence in adults with co-occurring mood or anxiety disorders (specifically, depression (MDE), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or social anxiety disorder). Secondary objectives are to evaluate the effect of acamprosate treatment on mood and anxiety disorders. STUDY DESIGN: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating acamprosate in the treatment of alcohol dependence in adult outpatients with concurrent mood and/or anxiety disorders. The active study phase will be 12 weeks in duration. There will be a two-week screening period, followed by 12 weeks of study medication and a follow-up assessment at 14 weeks from randomization. STUDY POPULATION: A total of 90 (30 per site) men and women aged 18-60 years who have a current diagnosis of alcohol dependence as well as a current DSM-IV diagnosis of either MDE, GAD and/or social anxiety will be recruited to participate in this study. Only those individuals whose psychiatric disorders are stable will be randomized to acamprosate or placebo. Three sites will participate in this trial. TREATMENTS: Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either acamprosate or matching placebo for 12 weeks. EFFICACY ASSESSEMENTS: The primary efficacy outcome measure will be cumulative days abstinent as measured by self-report.

COMPLETED
Examination of a Soy-Based Supplement for Major Depression
Description

The purpose of this study is to find out if the soy-based dietary supplement Novasoy (Registered Trademark) is effective for the short-term treatment of clinical depression. This study will also evaluate whether Novasoy (Registered Trademark) is effective in treating the anxiety that often accompanies depression and will assess the best dose level. Novasoy (Registered Trademark) is a marketed botanical dietary supplement containing soy isoflavones. The active form of the soy isoflavone genistin may be a novel treatment for neuropsychiatric illnesses. The soy isoflavone's specific hormonal properties may also have beneficial effects on brain function in depressed patients. This study will be conducted in two phases. During Phase I, participants will stop all medications for at least 1 week. A psychiatric and medical examination will be conducted. During Phase II, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Novasoy (Registered Trademark) or a placebo (an inactive pill) for 8 weeks. Participants who do not respond to treatment after 5 weeks will be given a higher dose of their assigned medication. After the 8-week period, participants will be monitored for up to 3 months before being referred back to their clinician for further treatment.
