Anorexia Nervosa
Conditions
Brief summary
Anorexia Nervosa is a serious life-threatening illness with a typical age of onset in adolescence; if not effectively treated, it has the potential to significantly impact adolescent development and quality of life. Research on executive functioning in anorexia nervosa indicates that it may be a viable target for intervention that could improve outcome. The current project focuses on determining whether or not the investigators can improve set-shifting in parents and affected adolescents in the hopes that improvements in set-shifting will, ultimately, improve outcome.
Detailed description
This application seeks support for a phased project. In the initial (R61) 2-year phase, the investigators will establish that Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) can increase set-shifting in parents of and/or adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa (AN). The second aim is to determine the appropriate dose needed to achieve positive change in set-shifting. Attaining this milestone would trigger support for three additional years (R33) to confirm target engagement and appropriate dose. The investigators will also evaluate whether or not adding CRT to Family Based Treatment (FBT) will improve outcome compared to FBT alone. Set-shifting (a type of executive functioning often referred to as cognitive flexibility) inefficiencies are hypothesized to be an endophenotype of AN and are, therefore, heritable. Cognitive flexibility can be impacted negatively by situational factors such as malnutrition, stress, and anxiety. It is likely that both adolescents (who are malnourished) and parents (who are under stress) experience significant state-based reduction in their cognitive flexibility during AN and its treatment. While cognitive flexibility can be increased through CRT, there is a significant gap in the knowledge about how to apply CRT to the treatment of adolescent AN, specifically concerning the most appropriate target for CRT: parents or adolescents? The majority of research on CRT with adolescents with AN are pilot and feasibility studies and target set-shifting in adolescents, not parents. The investigators hypothesize that targeting parents may be more impactful for adolescent outcome. First, the investigators must determine if an increase set-shifting via CRT is possible. In the initial R61 phase, the investigators propose to recruit and randomly assign 54 families who have a child with AN to FBT, FBT with parent-focused CRT, or FBT with adolescent-focused CRT. Target engagement will be assessed via neuro-psychological assessment and self-report of cognitive and behavioral flexibility. If the investigators meet these proposed milestones in the R61 phase, they will proceed to the R33 phase. It is possible that one (N = 72 families) or both (N = 93 families) CRT conditions will be examined in the R33 phase. The investigators will confirm the findings from the R61 phase (target engagement and dose of CRT). The investigators will also examine adolescent outcome in FBT alone versus FBT+(parent or adolescent) CRT. They will gather preliminary data on putative moderators and/or mediators across both phases in order to inform results. This phased R61/R33 application is innovative in that it is the first to adapt CRT to parents only. Evidence supporting FBT+CRT to increase set-shifting in parents/adolescents will inform future efforts to leverage understanding of (heritable) neurobiology of AN in adolescents to improve outcome. Further, if CRT for parents significantly improves set-shifting, the investigators can focus efforts on how best to augment current treatments, support parents, and increase positive outcomes for the adolescent and reduce relapse. Even negative results would inform understanding of set-shifting inefficiencies as an endophenotype in AN, its measurement, and usefulness as a target in treatment.
Interventions
Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) is an adjunctive treatment focused on increasing set-shifting ability and developing meta-cognition.
Family Based Treatment (FBT) is an evidence based treatment in which parents are responsible for adolescent re-nourishment. They play an active role in treatment and their self-efficacy to make decisions regarding their child's treatment is empowered.

| Change in Self-Reported Shifting - BRIEF | 6 months of treatment | The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning (BRIEF) is an ecologically valid clinical tool for measuring executive functioning across several domains in youth 5 to 18 years of age; the self-report version (BRIEF-2) was administered to adolescents. It has a comparable adult self-report version (BRIEF-A) normed for ages 18-90. Both versions of the BRIEF are normed by age and sex on a T-scale (mean = 50, SD = 10), and scores are considered clinically elevated if they are 65 or higher. Both have a number of clinical scales and indices. Lower scores indicate greater strengths in each area. The hypothesis is that Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) will increase flexibility in participants, thus, we expect a reduction in scores for those in the CRT conditions. The BRIEF was administered at baseline (T1), after 4 weeks (T2), approximately 9 weeks (T3), approximately 17 weeks (T4), and end of treatment (T5). The BRIEF Shift assesses behavioral flexibility. |

The Delis Kaplan Executive Functioning System (D-KEFS) is a standardized assessment of executive functioning normed for ages 8-89 years of age. Raw scores are transformed to scaled scores: the mean is 10 with a standard deviation of 3. Higher scores indicate better performance on the test. Specific sub-tests were chosen to assess inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility. The hypothesis is that Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) will increase flexibility in participants. The D-KEFS was administered at baseline (T1), after 4 weeks (T2), approximately 9 weeks (T3), approximately 17 weeks (T4), and end of treatment (T5). Inhibition refers to the ability to inhibit a well learned or salient task in order to do something different; thus, it is related to flexibility. The D-KEFS Color-Word Interference Test (Condition 3: Inhibition) to assess ability to inhibit automatic responses.

Change in Self-Reported Shifting - BRIEF
The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning (BRIEF) is an ecologically valid clinical tool for measuring executive functioning across several domains in youth 5 to 18 years of age; the self-report version (BRIEF-2) was administered to adolescents. It has a comparable adult self-report version (BRIEF-A) normed for ages 18-90. Both versions of the BRIEF are normed by age and sex on a T-scale (mean = 50, SD = 10), and scores are considered clinically elevated if they are 65 or higher. Both have a number of clinical scales and indices. Lower scores indicate greater strengths in each area. The hypothesis is that Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) will increase flexibility in participants, thus, we expect a reduction in scores for those in the CRT conditions. The BRIEF was administered at baseline (T1), after 4 weeks (T2), approximately 9 weeks (T3), approximately 17 weeks (T4), and end of treatment (T5). The BRIEF Shift assesses behavioral flexibility.
Time frame: 6 months of treatment
Population: All available data is reported for mothers, fathers and adolescents separately. Some data is missing due to COVID-19 impacts on the ability to administer in-person assessment.

Dose of CRT
Number of sessions necessary in order to change cognitive flexibility. This is the number of sessions needed for change to occur in cognitive flexibility. It is only calculated for the participants who received CRT and who had a significant change in flexibility above what was observed in FBT.
Time frame: 6 months of treatment
Population: As parents did not hit a-priori milestones, we only calculated the number (count) of sessions needed for adolescents to have measurable improvement in cognitive flexibility.
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| Family Based Treatment (FBT) | Dose of CRT | 0 Number of sessions |
| FBT w/Adolescent-focused Cognitive Remediation Therapy | Dose of CRT | 8 Number of sessions |
