Trial Outcomes & Findings for Multi-modal Assessment of Gamma-aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Function in Psychosis (NCT NCT04004416)
NCT ID: NCT04004416
Last Updated: 2026-06-17
Results Overview
Change in brain activity in the medial frontal cortex after being given lorazepam, a medication that changes the activity of GABAergic neurons. Results reflect the difference/change in brain signal between the lorazepam scan and the placebo scan. BOLD change in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) was summarized using MATLAB (MatrixLaboratory)'s SPM (Statistical Parametric Mapping) package for eigenvariate extraction, which extracts the first principal component of the voxel time series within an region of interest (ROI). The resulting values are in arbitrary units (AU) reflecting variance-normalized signal after temporal filtering and serial correlation correction, which removes absolute signal scaling. While AU values are not directly interpretable as percent signal change, they preserve relative differences in BOLD change across conditions and are appropriate for statistical comparison.
COMPLETED
PHASE4
143 participants
Approximately 28 days

Participant Flow
Participants were targeted for recruitment from clinical sites (ex, Program for Risk Evaluation and Prevention (PREP) clinic) using medical record review and/or clinician referral. They were also recruited through research registries (ex, UMHealthResearch.org, departmental psychiatric research registry), via community advertisements (ex, flyers), internet sources such as social media (ex, Facebook/Instagram/Google AdWords paid campaigns), and email blasts.
Of the 240 participants consented, 97 were determined to be ineligible for the trial, leaving 143 total enrolled (17 Early Psychosis patients, 35 Schizophrenia or Schizoaffective disorder patients, 30 Bipolar disorder patients, 61 Healthy controls). Of those 143 enrolled, 24 participants were never randomized to a treatment order. 8 withdrew; 9 were lost to follow-up, and 7 were removed due to physician decision (ex, a change in participant eligibility).
Participant milestones

Early Psychosis Patients - Lorazepam 0.01 mg/kg First, Placebo Second
Placebo and fMRI: There were two fMRIs done after the initial assessment and approximately 28 days apart. Females may have needed to have this scheduled to coincide with a certain phase of their menstrual cycle. A dose of Placebo was given approximately 80-90 minutes prior to entering the fMRI scanner. Participants completed assessments (vitals, questionnaires) and an optional blood draw prior to having each fMRI. Participants were asked to rate pleasant/unpleasant pictures during their initial assessment visit and to view them during the fMRI.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Approximately 28 daysPopulation: Both fMRI scans are necessary to calculate the difference/change in brain signal between the lorazepam scan and the placebo scan, so participants were not analyzed if they did not provide usable data at both fMRIs. Reasons for unusable data included withdrawal (for example, due to no longer being eligible), loss to follow-up, unresponsiveness during the image viewing task, excessive movement, and fMRI image distortion.
Change in brain activity in the medial frontal cortex after being given lorazepam, a medication that changes the activity of GABAergic neurons. Results reflect the difference/change in brain signal between the lorazepam scan and the placebo scan. BOLD change in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) was summarized using MATLAB (MatrixLaboratory)'s SPM (Statistical Parametric Mapping) package for eigenvariate extraction, which extracts the first principal component of the voxel time series within an region of interest (ROI). The resulting values are in arbitrary units (AU) reflecting variance-normalized signal after temporal filtering and serial correlation correction, which removes absolute signal scaling. While AU values are not directly interpretable as percent signal change, they preserve relative differences in BOLD change across conditions and are appropriate for statistical comparison.

Early Psychosis Patients - Lorazepam 0.01 mg/kg
n=6 Participants
Lorazepam and fMRI: There were two fMRIs done after the initial assessment and approximately 28 days apart. Females may have needed to have this scheduled to coincide with a certain phase of their menstrual cycle. A dose of Lorazepam 0.01 mg/kg was given approximately 80-90 minutes prior to entering the fMRI scanner. Participants completed assessments (vitals, questionnaires) and optional blood draw prior to having each fMRI. Participants were asked to rate pleasant/unpleasant pictures during their initial assessment visit and to view them during the fMRI.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome
Timeframe: Approximately 28 daysPopulation: Both fMRI scans are necessary to calculate the difference/change in brain signal between the lorazepam scan and the placebo scan, so participants were not analyzed if they did not provide usable data at both fMRIs. Reasons for unusable data included withdrawal (for example, due to no longer being eligible), loss to follow-up, unresponsiveness during the image viewing task, excessive movement, and fMRI image distortion.
Levels of negative affect were calculated from a PCA of self-report scales: Psychological Stress Index (PSI9; 9-item, Min=0, Max=36, higher=more stress), negative emotions from Modified Differential Emotions Scale (mDES; 8-item subscale, Min=0, Max=32, higher=more negative emotion), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; 21-item, Min=0, Max=63, higher=more depression). Each measure was completed twice (pre-placebo and pre-drug). The PCA used the prcomp function in R (version 4.5.3), with variables from each scale centered and scaled to unit variance. The 1st principal component of PCA was used as index of general negative affect. This component explained 79% of the total variance across the 6 input measures. Individual component scores were extracted for each participant (Range Min=-3.352, Max=7.067, arbitrary units, higher values=more negative affect/worse outcome).

Although all 119 were administered a treatment, not all were administered both Lorazepam and Placebo, due to incompletion (ex, loss to follow-up). 113 were administered Lorazepam; 114 were administered Placebo. Serious Adverse Events were identified systematically via medical record alert, but any participant self-reported events were also logged. Some participants' adverse event time frames were extended due to failed attempts to reignite contact prior to their eventual withdrawal.

Lorazepam 0.01 mg/kg Window
n=57 participants at risk
Approximately 80-90 minutes prior to entering the fMRI scanner, a dose of Lorazepam 0.01 mg/kg was given. If administered at the first fMRI, there were approximately 28 days before the second fMRI. If administered at the second fMRI, the participant's participation ended after the scan. This delivery order was randomly assigned, and the study coordinator and participant were blinded to its administration.

Lorazepam 0.02 mg/kg Window
n=56 participants at risk
Approximately 80-90 minutes prior to entering the fMRI scanner, a dose of Lorazepam 0.02 mg/kg was given. If administered at the first fMRI, there were approximately 28 days before the second fMRI. If administered at the second fMRI, the participant's participation ended after the scan. This delivery order was randomly assigned, and the study coordinator and participant were blinded to its administration.

Placebo Window
n=114 participants at risk
Approximately 80-90 minutes prior to entering the fMRI scanner, a dose of Placebo was given. If administered at the first fMRI, there were approximately 28 days before the second fMRI. If administered at the second fMRI, the participant's participation ended after the scan. This delivery order was randomly assigned, and the study coordinator and participant were blinded to its administration.
