Scientific titleA randomised controlled trial of the Maudsley Model of Treatment for Adults with Anorexia Nervosa (MANTRA) compared to specialist supportive clinical management (SSCM) in outpatients with anorexia nervosa or eating disorder not otherwise specified (ED-NOS)
Study acronymMOSAIC
Study objectivesThe Maudsley Model of therapy (MANTRA) will be superior to specialist supportive clinical management (SSCM) in producing greater weight-gain and greater improvement in eating-disorders related psychopathology in adults with anorexia nervosa (AN). Also it is hypothesised that MANTRA will be less costly than SSCM, specifically it will be associated with fewer hospitalisations during treatment compared to SSCM. Also, MANTRA will be more cost-effective than SSCM showing greater reduction in symptoms at lower costs.

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAnorexia nervosa (AN)/eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS).
InterventionMANTRA:
A cognitive interpersonal therapy which aims to target factors involved in the development and maintenance of AN, including:
1. Thinking styles
2. Social-emotional factors
3. Pro-anorexia beliefs
4. Responses of close others to the illness
It employs a motivational interviewing style following a manual that can be tailored to meet individual patient needs.

SSCM:
A treatment designed to mimic outpatient treatment that could be offered to individuals with AN in usual clinical practice, combining aspects of clinical management and supportive psychotherapy. The focus is on resumption of normal eating and weight restoration.

Both treatments will involve 20 once-weekly hour-long sessions of therapy followed by 4-monthly follow-up sessions. Participants with very low weight (BMI less than 15 kg/m^2) will be offered 30 once-weekly sessions. Clinicians in both treatment conditions will be responsible for the monitoring of physical risk to patients throughout treatment and follow-up. Patients will also have access to a dietetic assessment and follow-up sessions as needed throughout the trial.
