NICE Technology Appraisal 51 • Depression and anxiety: computerised cognitive behaviour therapy (CCBT) • Issued in 2002 • Replaced by TA97 in 2006 Serenity Programme 2013
ACD-1* – Key Points • CCBT (Beating the Blues, Cope, Overcoming Depression) is recommended for the treatment of mild and moderate depression • A judgement that as CBT is a known and effective approach for depression then CCBT packages as a whole are likely to produce similar positive ‘group effects’ * Appraisal Consultation Document Serenity Programme 2013
NICE Technology Appraisal 97 • Computerised cognitive behaviour therapy for depression and anxiety • Review of Technology Appraisal 51 • Issued in 2006, modified in 2013 • Replaced TA51 'Depression and anxiety: computerised cognitive behaviour therapy (CCBT)' Serenity Programme 2013
ACD-2 – OIR* • ‘Cope’ and ‘Overcoming Depression’ not recommended for the treatment of depression except as part of ongoing or new clinical trials… gathering data on costs and benefits…compared to an appropriate comparator • OCFighternot recommended for the treatment of OCD, except as part of ongoing or new clinical studies *Only in Research Serenity Programme 2013
RCT Emphasis 1 of 2 • ‘There is no RCT evidence for COPE or Overcoming Depression for the management of depression. Therefore, the Committee could not establish with a reasonable degree of certainty that either of these packages is a clinically or cost-effective method of treating people with depression over and above other management options such as TAU’* *Treatment as usual Serenity Programme 2013
No ‘Class Effect’ • ‘Furthermore, it was not able to conclude that the CCBT packages for depression could be considered to be equivalent as in a 'class', because of the differences between the packages' presentation, style and complexity’ Serenity Programme 2013
BTSteps RCT • ‘The Committee considered the RCT evidence for BTSteps for the management of OCD in which BTSteps was compared with TCBT and relaxation. The Committee noted that in the randomised clinical trials BTSteps was never more effective than TCBT. It also noted that patients were more satisfied with TCBT than with BTSteps’ Serenity Programme 2013
Response to consultee, commentator and public comments on the ACD-2, 2005 Serenity Programme 2013
Media Innovations 1 of 2 • ‘The current wording … makes a de facto judgement that a class effect for CCBT does not exist and reverses the thrust of the original 2002 review’ • ‘This is a major and unwarranted decision which will significantly reduce development in this area, produce a monopoly situation, and importantly reduce patient and practitioner choice’ Serenity Programme 2013
Media Innovations 2 of 2 • ‘The removal of any form of recommendation for Overcoming Depression or COPE will create an effective monopoly position for one commercially developed package …’ Serenity Programme 2013
ST Solutions • ‘The committees' recommendation to not recommend OCFighter despite the strong evidence is likely to cause harm to the thousands of patients who will not be treated due to lack availability of services. The NHS is unable … to provide CBT services to 75% of the patients who require CBT treatment and who are in hospital.’ Serenity Programme 2013
Ultrasis • ‘The revised document is, in general, an accurate reflection of the evidence base for CCBT and will stimulate appropriate and informed provision of the technology in the NHS and beyond’ Serenity Programme 2013
Updates • Recommendations in TA97 relating to the treatment of depression have been replaced by recommendations in the two depression clinical guidelines (CG90 & CG91, and in CG123 in 2011) • Recommendations relating to the treatment of anxiety disorders been replaced by entries in the GAD & Panic Disorder guideline (CG113) in 2011, and the Social Anxiety guideline (CG159) in 2013 Serenity Programme 2013
Research Recommendations 1 of 3 • The clinical and cost effectiveness of two CBT-based low-intensity interventions (CCBT and guided bibliotherapy) compared with a waiting-list control for the treatment of GAD and Panic Disorder Serenity Programme 2013
Research Recommendations 2 of 3 • Future studies should be RCTs & include an ITT*analysis, to take account of drop-outs, and record and report any adverse effects … They should also collect appropriate information on costs and health-related quality of life – data should be collected using generic preference-based measures (in conjunction with condition-specific instruments) because they facilitate the calculation of QALYs** *Intention-to-treat ** Quality adjusted life-year Serenity Programme 2013
Research Recommendations 3 of 3 • Pragmatic RCTs for CCBT packages in a stepped-care programme • Comparisons of CCBT with other self-help comparators e.g. bibliotherapy and exercise • Comparisons of CCBT with placebo • Comparisons of CCBT with brief and longer duration TCBT*as well as group TCBT • Head-to-head trials between the packages for depression *Therapist-delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy Serenity Programme 2013

For the 52 participants either fully or partially completing the programme, initial mean anxiety scores on the HADS were 14.42 and after three months, 9.1 – an almost 37% reduction in symptom scores (t = 10.18, p<0.0001). The chart below shows initial anxiety scores in red, post-test scores in blue. This cohort comprised of 24 males and 28 females, with an average age of 42.8 (range 19 - 82). Partial completion was considered to be a successful intervention when symptom levels were reduced and both participant and professional agreed discharge to be appropriate and timely. Serenity Programme 2013
For the 52 participants fully or partially completing the programme, initial mean depression scores on the HADS were 9.6 and after three months, 5.8 – an almost 40% reduction in symptom scores (t = 6.62, p<0.0001). The chart below shows initial depression scores in red, post-test scores in blue. Of these 52 participants, 48 were either employed or in full- or part-time education. Serenity Programme 2013
