Trial Outcomes & Findings for Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Major Depressive Disorder With High Inflammation: A Personalized Approach (NCT NCT02553915)

NCT ID: NCT02553915

Last Updated: 2022-05-02

Results Overview

To evaluate whether a dose-response relationship exists between dose of EPA and decrease either in plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels (pg/mL) or in mitogen-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) expression and secretion (pg/mL), when compared with placebo. Levels of inflammatory biomarkers were assessed at baseline (week 0) and at week 12 for comparison. Percent changes were calculated as relative to baseline values. Greater percent decrease indicates better outcome.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: Study completers with available IDS-C30 data

To evaluate whether EPA treatment produces a decrease in ratings of depression severity after 12 weeks of treatment, when compared with placebo-treated subjects. Comparison is made between pre-treatment and post-12 weeks treatment. Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-30 item-Clinician Rated (IDS-C30) is a depression severity scale, where lower scores indicate less depressive severity and higher scores indicate greater severity. Minimum score is 0 (zero) and maximum score is 84.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: Study completers with available data

To evaluate whether EPA treatment produces a decrease in ratings of depression severity, when compared with placebo-treated subjects; and whether the changes in IL-6 or mitogen- stimulated PBMC TNF-α expression will mediate changes observed in ratings of depression. Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-30 item-Clinician Rated (IDS-C30) is a depression severity scale, where lower scores indicate less depressive severity and higher scores indicate greater severity. Minimum score is 0 (zero) and maximum score is 84. Change in score over 12 weeks (from week 0 to week12) is calculated as a percent change from baseline. Greater percent change in the negative direction indicates better outcome.
