E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Efficacy: -To provide evidence on the antidepressant efficacy of two therapeutic treatments: pharmacological treatment (citalopram) and psychotherapy treatment, in women diagnosed with breast cancer and major depression. |
Eficacia: -Aportar evidencia sobre la eficacia antidepresiva de dos estrategias terapéuticas: tratamiento farmacológico (citalopram) y tratamiento con psicoterapia, en mujeres diagnosticadas de CM y DM. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Efficacy: -To evaluate the antidepressant effect of the therapeutic treatment studied and Quality life impact. -To evaluate the antidepressant effect of the therapeutic treatments studied and their socio-labour adaptation impact. -To estimate which clinical, sociodemographic and onco-specific treatment variables predict a greater antidepressant response to a specific treatment strategy. Biomarkers: -To study possible functional neuroimaging and emotional processing biomarkers, specific of major depression in breast cancer that could predict the response to a specific therapeutic treatment Safety: -Assess the safety (12 weeks) of the two therapeutic treatments studied: pharmacological treatment (citalopram) and psychotherapy treatment. Objectives pharmaco-economics -To estimate the cost-effectiveness ratio of pharmacological treatment with citalopram regarding psychological treatmen with breast cancer and major depression, as well as its economic impact on back to work. |
Eficacia: -Evaluar el efecto antidepresivo de las estrategias terapéuticas estudiadas y su impacto en la calidad de vida. -Evaluar el efecto antidepresivo de las estrategias terapéuticas estudiadas y su impacto en la adaptación socio-laboral. -Estimar qué variables clínicas, sociodemográficas y de tratamiento oncoespecífico predicen una mayor respuesta antidepresiva a una estrategia de tratamiento concreta. Biomarcadores: -Estudiar posibles biomarcadores de neuroimagen funcional y procesamiento emocional específicos de la DM en el CM y que permitan predecir la respuesta a una estrategia terapéutica determinada. Seguridad: -Evaluar la seguridad (12 semanas) de las dos estrategias terapéuticas estudiadas: tratamiento farmacológico (citalopram) y tratamiento con psicoterapia. Objetivos fármaco-economía -Relación coste-efectividad del tratamiento farmacológico con citalopram respecto al tratamiento psicológico, así como su impacto económico en la reincorporación laboral. |
