Summary of the Proposed Research:

Mental illness is a major cause of global health burden, accounting for 23% of years lived with disability. With 350 million people affected in the world, depressive disorder is the second leading cause of global burden and poses a significant challenge for health systems worldwide. The high direct and indirect costs for major depression are substantially due to significant deficits in treatment provision. There are a number of efficacious interventions for depressive disorder and the key challenge is how best to implement currently available effective treatments.3 International guidelines recommend antidepressant drugs as first line treatment for adults with moderate to severe depression. About 80% of people in primary care in the UK receive an antidepressant prescription in the first year of diagnosis.6 However, the majority of prescriptions are for less than 30 days, while an adequate trial of antidepressants is generally recommended to be 6-8 weeks before changing or stopping the medication. A too short duration of treatment both limits the therapeutic effect6 and increases the risk of withdrawal symptoms because antidepressants should be tapered off over a period of 4 weeks. While a number of factors contribute to sub-optimal treatment durations, two of the most prominent are the initial side effects of the medication and their perceived marginal efficacy. These factors are exacerbated by our current inability to predict which drug will causes the fewest adverse effects for a specific patient, and which will work most effectively. Better methods of tailoring treatment to individuals are urgently needed, despite being recognised by international guidelines, to date there are currently no reliable ways of achieving this. In fact, however, major opportunities are available to improve patients’ outcomes with existing therapies by the efficient use of available clinical trial data combined with technical advance in data synthesis and longterm outcomes from real-world datasets. Such analyses can now predict the probability of response for a specific subgroup of patients or estimate the chances that a person will have a particular side effect. By matching patients to individual antidepressants, clinicians can more precisely customise treatment to patients’ needs and thus improve their outcome. Precision medicine is now a leading aim of healthcare internationally. Currently, the process of matching patients with treatments is too often by trial and error, delaying clinical improvement and increasing the risks and costs associated with treatment. Pooling an analysis of clinical trial data may provide “personalised” estimates of comparative effectiveness, stratified for specific subgroups of patients to predict “individualised” response to treatment. Despite the recent progress in this field, psychiatry continues to lag behind other areas of medicine including cardiology, oncology, immunology and neurology.

Aim

This project specially aims to develop and test a novel precision medicine approach to the optimise the medical (drug) treatment of depressive disorder, which can be used in everyday clinical settings. We aim to develop a web-based platform using large and diverse datasets combining data from hundreds of thousands of patients, to inform shared decision-making at the individual patient level during the routine consultation between doctors and patients. The first phase of this project is obtaining individual patient data which will form a vital part of the dataset.
