citalopram and Weight Gain

citalopram has been researched along with Weight Gain in 23 studies

Citalopram: A furancarbonitrile that is one of the serotonin uptake inhibitors used as an antidepressant. The drug is also effective in reducing ethanol uptake in alcoholics and is used in depressed patients who also suffer from TARDIVE DYSKINESIA in preference to tricyclic antidepressants, which aggravate dyskinesia.
citalopram : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of (R)-citalopram and its enantiomer, escitalopram. It is used as an antidepressant, although only escitalopram is active.
1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-5-carbonitrile : A nitrile that is 1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-5-carbonitrile in which one of the hydrogens at position 1 is replaced by a p-fluorophenyl group, while the other is replaced by a 3-(dimethylamino)propyl group.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Comparing Scores on HAM-D 17 Baseline Visit to Phase 2 Final Visit at Week 8

This will involve looking at the change in HAM-D 17 scores during phase 2. For HAMD-17 the minimum is 0, the maximum is 52, and greater scores represent more symptoms. (NCT00633399)
Timeframe: 8 weeks

Remission Rates (HAM-D 17 Scores of Less Than 8) After Treatment Phase 2.

A secondary outcome measure will be remission rates (HAM-D 17 scores of less than 8) after treatment phase 2.. A remitted will be a patient with a final score of 7 or less on the HAMD-17 during phase 2. (NCT00633399)
Timeframe: 8 weeks

The Primary Outcome Measure Will be Response Rates (50% Decrease in HAM-D-17 Scores) During Phase 2

The primary outcome measure will be response rates (50% decrease in HAM-D-17 scores) during phase 2. A responder will be a patient who experiences a 50% or greater decrease in symptoms according to the HAM-D-17 during phase 2. (NCT00633399)
Timeframe: 8 Weeks

MADRS (Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale) Readmission Rate

MADRS readmission rate is defined as MADRS score<11. The 10-item Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), which measures depression severity over the past week, was completed by clinicians using an MGH structured interview. Each item is measured on a scale from 0 to 6, and the items are summed to find the total score. The total minimum score is 0 units on a scale and the total maximum score is 60 units on a scale, where higher scores indicate more severe depression. (NCT00683852)
Timeframe: 12 weeks

MADRS (Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale) Response Rate

The primary outcome was the difference in response rate (decrease in MADRS total score of at least 50%) using the SPCD (sequential parallel comparison design). The 10-item Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), which measures depression severity over the past week, was completed by clinicians using an MGH structured interview. Each item is measured on a scale from 0 to 6, and the items are summed to find the total score. The total minimum score is 0 units on a scale and the total maximum score is 60 units on a scale, where higher scores indicate more severe depression. (NCT00683852)
Timeframe: 12 weeks

Mean Change in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S)

The CGI-S scale was administered by clinicians based on assessment of the patient's clinical status. They measured, based on history and scores on other instruments, depressive severity. It consists of one question scored on a seven-point scale (1 = normal to 7 = among the most severe), so a higher total score indicates greater depressive severity. The minimum score is 1, and the maximum score is 7. (NCT00683852)
Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks

Mean Change in MADRS (Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale) Score From Baseline to the End of Follow-up

The 10-item Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), which measures depression severity over the past week, was completed by clinicians using an MGH structured interview. Each item is measured on a scale from 0 to 6, and the items are summed to find the total score. The total minimum score is 0 units on a scale and the total maximum score is 60 units on a scale, where higher scores indicate more severe depression. (NCT00683852)
Timeframe: Baseline and 12 Weeks

Number of Patients With Treatment Emergent AEs in Two Treatment Groups - People Exclusively on Drug or Placebo Throughout the Study

Differences in the incidence of treatment emergent AEs between the treatment groups were examined and evaluated using descriptive statistics. This analysis compared AEs between the arms that received exclusively drug throughout the study or placebo throughout the study. (NCT00683852)
Timeframe: 12 Weeks

Number of Patients With Treatment Emergent AEs in Two Treatment Groups - Placebo Non-Responders

Differences in the incidence of treatment emergent AEs between the treatment groups were examined and evaluated using descriptive statistics. This analysis focused on placebo non-responders in phase 1 and presented them by their treatment assignment in phase 2. (NCT00683852)
Timeframe: 12 Weeks

Treatment Emergent AEs in Two Treatment Groups - Safety Sample

Differences in the incidence of treatment emergent AEs between the treatment groups were examined and evaluated using descriptive statistics. In this analysis, AEs were summarized according to person-phase of occurrence. Each AE was attributed to the person and then to phase 1 or phase 2, depending on the initial date of onset. (NCT00683852)
Timeframe: 12 Weeks

Mean Change in Symptom Questionnaire (SQ)

The SQ, a 92-item (yes/no) self-rating questionnaire, includes 4 distress and 4 well-being subscales. There are 68 items for the distress subscales and 24 items for the well-being subscales. Each item has either a Yes/No or True/False answer. For the distress symptom score, add together the following items and score 1 when the answer is Yes/True: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12, 15, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 39, 41, 42, 44, 45, 47, 48, 49, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92. Minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 68. A higher score indicates more distress symptoms. For the well-being subscale score, add together the following items and score 1 when the answer is No/False: 4, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 21, 23, 29, 31, 35, 38, 40, 43, 46, 50, 51, 71, 78, 83, 89. Minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 24. A higher score indicates more well-being. (NCT00683852)
