Title | Pretreatment metabotype as a predictor of response to sertraline or placebo in depressed outpatients: a proof of concept |
Overall design | Outpatients with MDD were randomly assigned to sertraline (up to 150 mg per day) (sertraline group, n = 43) or placebo (placebo group, n = 46) in a double-blind 4-week trial. Baseline serum samples were profiled using the liquid chromatography electrochemical array; the output was digitized to create a "digital map" of the entire measurable response for a particular sample. Responder was defined as >= 50% decrease in HAMD-17 scores at week 4, and non-responders was defined as <50% decrease in HAMD-17 scores at week 4. Pretreatment metabotypes may predict which depressed patients will respond to acute treatment (4 weeks) with sertraline or placebo. |
