Further study details as provided by National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA):

Primary Outcome Measures:

To determine whether fluoxetine + CBT is a more effective treatment than placebo + CBT for substance outcomes, depression, and behavior problems. [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To determine if the treatment of depression with fluoxetine + CBT, in depressed adolescents with SUD and CD will be more effective than placebo + CBT in reducing substance use and improving conduct symptoms. [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Enrollment:	126
Study Start Date:	February 2001
Study Completion Date:	August 2006
Primary Completion Date:	August 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
1: Active Comparator fluoxetine + CBT	Drug: Fluoxetine + outpatient cognitive behavioral therapy single fixed morning dose 20 mg X 15 weeks Drug: fluoxetine 20mg, QD x 16 weeks
2: Placebo Comparator placebo + CBT	Drug: placebo + CBT single fixed morning dose X 16 weeks

Detailed Description:

The primary study aim is to determine whether fluoxetine + CBT is a more effective treatment than placebo + CBT for substance outcomes, depression, and behavior problems. The current community standard of care often withholds pharmacotherapy for depression in substance abusing adolescents, since it is often assumed that their depressions may remit with SUD treatment alone. However, this is an untested hypothesis in adolescents and one that we propose to test in the current study.
