A Study to Describe Routine Treatment Pathways in Participants With Major Depression and Active Suicidal Ideation With Intent in Italy

Overview

The purpose of the study is to describe the pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment utilization pathways in Italian routine clinical practice of participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and active suicidal ideation with intent.

Full Title of Study: “A Description of Routine Treatment Pathways in a Cohort of Patients With Major Depression and “Active Suicidal Ideation With Intent” in Italy: the Arianna Observational Study.”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Observational
  • Study Design
    • Time Perspective: Prospective
  • Study Primary Completion Date: November 8, 2021

Interventions

  • Other: No Intervention
    • No intervention will be administered as a part of this study. Both retrospective and prospective data will be collected. The retrospective data will be collected through medical chart review.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Participants with MDD and Active Suicidal Ideation with Intent
    • Participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and active suicidal ideation with intent as defined/confirmed by Investigator will be enrolled and treated in accordance with routine clinical practice. The primary data source for this study will be the medical records of each participant.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Type of Comprehensive Treatment for Major Depression Disorder (MDD) and Active Suicidal Ideation with Intent
    • Time Frame: Up to 90 days
    • Type of comprehensive treatment for MDD and active suicidal ideation with intent (for example, psychopharmacotherapy; psychosocial treatment; somatic therapy) will be reported.
  • Number of Psychiatric Drugs
    • Time Frame: Up to 90 days
    • Number of psychiatric drugs (that is, polypsychopharmacy versus monotherapy) will be reported.
  • Duration of Treatment
    • Time Frame: Up to 90 days
    • Duration of treatment for MDD and suicidal ideation with intent will be evaluated.
  • Sequence of Treatments in Participants with MDD and Suicidal Ideation with Intent
    • Time Frame: Up to 90 days
    • Treatment sequences for participants with MDD and suicidal ideation with intent (for exapmple, administration of first-line antidepressant) will be assessed.
  • Care Setting
    • Time Frame: Up to 90 days
    • Care setting (that is, in-patient and out-patient) will be assessed.

Secondary Measures

  • Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score
    • Time Frame: Up to Day 104 (End of Visit)
    • The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale designed to measure changes in depression severity due to antidepressant treatment.The MADRS consists of 10 items, each of which is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms) for a total possible score of 60. Higher scores represent a more severe condition.
  • European Quality of Life (EuroQol) 5-Dimension 5-Level Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) scores
    • Time Frame: Up to Day 104 (End of Visit)
    • The EQ-5D-5L is a generic measure of health status. The EQ-5D-5L is a 5-item questionnaire that assesses 5 domains including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression plus a visual analog scale rating “health today” with anchors ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state).
  • Percentage of participants with AEs and SAEs
    • Time Frame: Up to Day 104 (End of visit)
    • An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product. A Serious (AE) is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
  • Healthcare Resource Utilization
    • Time Frame: Up to day 104 (End of Visit)
    • Health Care Resource Utilization (HCRU) will be measured through the number of hospitalization visits, visits to the emergency department, inpatient hospitalization, specialist outpatient visits, number of day care visits, laboratory tests, instrumental and other diagnostic tests related to MDD with active suicidal ideation with intent.
