Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Adolescent Depression: Efficacy, Predictive Biomarkers, and Mechanisms

This study will be an open-label 6-week (30 session) trial of active repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) using a fixed frequency (10 Hz) but varying stimulation intensities using a 3+3 study design for safety and tolerability amongst adolescents. This means that we will only enroll 3 participants at a time and give them rTMS at the stimulation intensity energy of 80% of motor threshold (MT). If all three participants complete the 6 weeks of treatment with no major safety events (i.e. seizure), we will increase the energy for the next 3 participants by 20%. If 1 of the 3 participants has a major safety event, we will enroll 3 more patients at the SAME energy. We will proceed in this manner, increasing by 20% after 3 subjects safely complete treatment at that energy, to a maximum energy of 120% of motor threshold. If 2 participants in each intensity level cohort experience a major safety event, we will discontinue running subjects at that energy level. If this happens at our initial energy level of 80% of MT, we will stop the study. If we reach 2 events in any of the higher energy cohorts, we will return to the previous energy level and complete the remainder of the subjects at that energy level.

About this study

Adolescents with Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) (n=30) will be recruited from the inpatient and outpatient adolescent mental health clinical services at UMN and surrounding area.

Adolescents and parents will undergo the consent process and initial clinical evaluation. This initial evaluation will be done using the Kiddie Schedule of Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS-PL 2009) and the Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R). Participants and their families will also be asked to complete the Antidepressant Treatment Report (ATR), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS), Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale (TEPS), Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Edinburgh Handedness Scale, the Weschler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI) and the Tanner Pubertal Staging Questionnaire. Participants will also be asked to complete the NIH Toolbox, Children's Auditory Verbal Learning Test (CAVLT), and the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) Trail Making Test.

Adolescents with TRD who fit inclusion/exclusion criteria (presence of major depression with CDRS-R raw score > 40; a history of at least one failed treatment trial with an antidepressant [as defined by the Antidepressant Treatment Report]; no history of seizure disorder; no presence of MRI contraindications [e.g. claustrophobia or metallic implants]) will be scheduled for:

A. A baseline MRI (described below)

B. 6 weeks of the series of rTMS visits described below

C. A post-treatment MRI

D. A post-treatment clinical assessment (blinded to treatment assignment)

E. 6 monthly follow up visits

In the first rTMS visit, the study physician will fit the cap, determine the ideal location for stimulation, and measure MT and MEPa. Adolescents will receive 6 weeks of rTMS, 20 minutes/day, 5 days/week administered by a trained technician. Active treatment will be 43 trains of 10 Hz, stimulation intensity will vary as described above, inter-train interval 20 seconds, 1680 pulses/session. A member of research staff will meet weekly with patients to complete the CDRS-R, monitor treatment tolerance using the Side Effects Form for Children and Adolescents, and measure the MT and MEPa. Adolescents will also complete the BDI-II, C-SSRS-SLV, IDAS, TEPS, YMRS, and SHAPS weekly. At week four, the participants will be asked to repeat the NIH Toolbox, Children's Auditory Verbal Learning Test (CAVLT), and the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) Trail Making Test.

Scanning will take place at the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research on a 3T Siemens Prisma scanner at baseline (after the clinical assessment, before the first treatment) and after the last rTMS treatment. Participants will complete MRI safety forms and provide a urine sample to rule out substance use (all participants) and pregnancy (females only). A high-resolution T1 image will be collected (voxel size=1mm isotropic; TR=2530ms; TE=3.65ms, T1=1100ms, flip angle=7°, 5 minutes). Functional data will be acquired using the Human Connectome Project (HCP)38 multiband echo planar imaging sequence (whole brain T2*-weighted functional volumes, 72 contiguous slices; TR=720ms; TE=34.2ms; flip angle=55o, FOV=212mm; voxel size=2mm isotropic; matrix=106x106; multiband factor=8; 12 minutes) during rest with eyes open while viewing a fixation cross.

Participants will be asked to complete a task fMRI in which they are presented with a series of visual stimuli, (human faces of varying emotion expressions with positive, negative or neutral words printed over the faces). During the task, participants will be asked to decide whether the words printed over the faces are positive or negative regardless of the emotion of the face shown. Each subject will complete four distinct blocks of the task.

After the completion of rTMS sessions, all participants will undergo a final assessment during which they will be asked to meet with evaluators again to complete the CDRS-R. They will also be asked to complete the BDI-II, C-SSRS, TEPS, SHAPS, IDAS and NIH Toolbox.

After the completion of all rTMS sessions, participants will be asked to return to see researchers every month for 6 months to assess length of treatment response.

Treatment and study plan

Active Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS): intensity 80% MT

Device

rTMS applies a pulsatile magnetic field to the scalp which painlessly induces electrical currents to the brain. Typically, rTMS is applied to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a brain region that is hypoactive in depression. Whereas standard rTMS stimulates superficial (1cm depth) cortical areas, recent advances in rTMS coil technology support stimulation of deeper (5 cm depth) limbic structures that are also relevant to depression.

Other Name: Brainsway rTMS

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Score on Child Depression Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R)

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment

    The Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R) is a measure of depression severity in adolescents and children of ages 6 to 12. The measure is completed by a clinician based on interviews with the child/adolescent and their parent. The scale includes 17 symptom areas, each rated on a likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 or 7. Depression severity is indiciated by the CDRS-R raw summary score computed by adding the item responses. The summary score ranges from 17 to 113, with a higher score indicating more severe depression and worse outcome. Change in score for each participant was calculated by subtracting their post-rTMS score from their baseline score, such that a positive value indicates a decrease in score from pre to post-treatment.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in Score Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II)

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment

    The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) is a 21-item self-report measure of depression severity in adolescents and adults. Each item is measured on a likert scale ranging from 0 to 3. A total score is calculated by adding item responses and can range from 0 to 63, with a higher score indicating more severe depression and worse outcome. Change in score for each participant was calculated by subtracting their post-rTMS score from their baseline score, such that a positive value indicates a decrease in score from pre to post-treatment.

  2. Change is Score Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment

    Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS- recent version) is a 10-item measure of suicidal ideation and behavior. Participants were assigned a score between 0 and 8, with higher scores indicating the endorsement of more severe suicidal ideation or behavior (a worse outcome) and a score of "0" indicating no suicidal ideation or behavior (better outcome). Change in score for each participant was calculated by subtracting their post-rTMS score from their baseline score, such that a positive value indicates a decrease in score from pre to post-treatment.

  3. Change in Score Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale (TEPS)

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment

    The Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale (TEPS) is an 18-item self-report measure of the tendency to anticipate and experience pleasure. Each item is rated on a likert scale ranging from 1 (very false for me) to 6 (very true for me). A total score is calculated by adding item responses and ranges from 18 to 108, such that higher scores indicate greater anticipation and experience of pleasure and better outcome. Change in score for each participant was calculated by subtracting their post-rTMS score from their baseline score, such that a positive value indicates a decrease in score from pre to post-treatment.

  4. Change in Score Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS) Subscale: General Depression

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment

    64-item measure of mood and anxiety disorder symptoms. Each item is rated on a likert scale ranging from 1 (not at all) to 5 (extremely). The measure includes 2 broad subscales of general depresson (20 items; score range: 20-100) and dysphoria (10 items; score range: 10-50) as well as 10 specific symptom scales: Lassitude (6 items; score range: 6-30), Insomnia (6 items; score range: 6-30), Suicidality (6 items; score range: 6-30), Well-Being (8 items; score range: 8-40), Social Anxiety (5 items; score range: 5-25), Appetite Loss (3 items; score range: 3-15), Appetite Gain (3 items; score range: 3-15), Ill Temper (5 items; score range: 5-25), Panic (8 items; score range: 8-40), and Traumatic Intrusions (4 items; score range: 4-20).

Higher scores on well-being subscale indicates better outcome.

  5. Change in Score Young Mania Rating Scale

    Time frame: Baseline to post-treatment

    The Young Mania Rating Scale is a 11-item measure of manic symptoms. Some items are rated on a likert scale ranging from 0 to 4 and some items are rated on a scale ranging from 0 to 8. Total scores range from 0 to 60, with a higher score indiciating higher levels of mania and worse outcome. Change in score for each participant was calculated by subtracting their post-rTMS score from their baseline score, such that a positive value indicates a decrease in score from pre to post-treatment.
