Study Summary

This project will characterize children and adolescents with severe mood dysregulation (SMD) and conduct a pilot study of combination pharmacotherapy as a basis for future intervention trials. Eligible participants assessed for SMD will have 4 weeks open titration with lisdexamfetamine (LDX) to optimal dose, followed by double-blind randomization to fluoxetine (N=25) or placebo (N=25) in combination with optimized LDX for an additional 8 weeks. Participants will be monitored for clinical response and adverse events. Specific aims are: #1: To define youth meeting SMD criteria in terms of psychiatric comorbidity, neurocognitive functioning, and a potential "bio-signature" derived from electroencephalography (EEG). Specific hypotheses to be tested include: 1) that SMD participants will differ in comparison to non-SMD individuals in our pre-existing database on patterns of a) psychiatric comorbidity, b) symptoms, c) behavioral ratings, and d) neurocognitive functioning, and 2) that a distinct EEG bio-signature will be confirmed in individuals formally diagnosed with SMD. #2: To conduct a preliminary study of sequential pharmacotherapy for SMD with a stimulant followed by randomized, placebo-controlled selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) therapy to evaluate the feasibility of recruitment and enrollment and assess the suitability of the proposed combination treatment as a basis for future clinical investigations. Specific hypotheses to be tested include: 1) that significant improvement in Clinical Global Impression - Improvement -SMD (CGI-I-SMD) scores and other secondary measures are evident after open-label LDX titration; 2) that participants randomized to fluoxetine will demonstrate additional significant improvement in CGI-I-SMD scores and other secondary measures in comparison to participants randomized to placebo; 3) that combination LDX and SSRI therapy is safe and well tolerated, and 4) that EEG profiles will normalize with treatment.
