desipramine and Cardiac Death

desipramine has been researched along with Cardiac Death in 1 studies

Desipramine: A tricyclic dibenzazepine compound that potentiates neurotransmission. Desipramine selectively blocks reuptake of norepinephrine from the neural synapse, and also appears to impair serotonin transport. This compound also possesses minor anticholinergic activity, through its affinity to muscarinic receptors.
desipramine : A dibenzoazepine consisting of 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepine substituted on nitrogen with a 3-(methylamino)propyl group.

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Inventory of Complicated Grief (ICG)

The 19-item self-report instrument assesses symptoms of complicated grief. Responses on individual items are added up to a total score, which can range from 0 to 76 with higher scores indicating more intense symptoms. This scale has been utilized previously in treatment studies of CG. Additional times points include weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 40. For the pre-specified analyses we compared change in the ICG total score from baseline (calculated as baseline score minus week 12 score) for CIT vs PLA at week 12 (aim 1), based on the intention-to-treat principle including all randomized participants. (NCT01179568)
Timeframe: Baseline and week 12

For the pre-specified analyses we compared change in the ICG total score from baseline (calculated as baseline score minus week 20 score) for CIT with CGT vs PLA with CGT (aim 2), and for CIT with CGT vs CIT (aim 3) based on the intention-to-treat principle including all randomized participants.

Timeframe: Baseline and week 20

Change From Baseline in Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS)

The WSAS is a modification of a scale introduced by Hafner and Marks (1976), consisting of 0-8 point ratings of the extent to which symptoms interfere with five areas of daily functioning: work, home management, private leisure, social leisure, and family relationships. It is a well-validated, widely used self-report measure. Additional time points include weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, and 40. A total score calculated as a sum of all items (possible range 0-40) was used in the analyses with higher scores indicating more impairment. For the pre-specified analyses we compared change in the WSAS total score from baseline (calculated as baseline score minus week 12 score) for CIT vs PLA at week 12 (aim 1), based on the intention-to-treat principle including all randomized participants.

Responder Status Based on Complicated Grief Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) Scale

Brief rating scale frequently used in clinical trials. For this study, version modified for complicated grief was be used. Response is defined as a score of 1(very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on the scale. The rating was done by an Independent Evaluator. (NCT01179568)
Timeframe: Weeks 12 and 20
