Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
This is a within-subject treatment design (AB) where the order of treatment (placebo or drug) is randomised. The person who determines eligibility for inclusion in the trial is unaware of the treatment being allocated on the day of assessment and medical examination. Allocation of order of treatment was randomised by the Participant is provided information on the study and by an experimenter who is blind to the allocation. Interview and medical examination and decision to include or exclude from the study is conducted by one of two Psychiatrists who are unaware of the allocation to treatment schedule. initial contact Chief Investigator (MMI) off-site with a random number table, who does not assess the participants' suitability, does not test the participants, or analyse the data.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation of treatment order by random number table
Masking / blinding
