D-Cycloserine Augmentation of Exposure-Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Individual Participant Data
Open accessAbstract
Importance: Whether and under which conditions D-cycloserine (DCS) augments the effects of exposure-based cognitive behavior therapy for anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and posttraumatic stress disorders is unclear. Objective: To clarify whether DCS is superior to placebo in augmenting the effects of cognitive behavior therapy for anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and posttraumatic stress disorders and to evaluate whether antidepressants interact with DCS and the effect of potential moderating variables. Data Sources: PubMed, EMBASE, and PsycINFO were searched from inception to February 10, 2016. Reference lists of previous reviews and meta-analyses and reports of randomized clinical trials were also checked. Study Selection: Studies were eligible for inclusion if they were (1) double-blind randomized clinical trials of DCS as an augmentation strategy for exposure-based cognitive behavior therapy and (2) conducted in humans diagnosed as having specific phobia, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or posttraumatic stress disorder. Data Extraction and Synthesis: Raw data were obtained from the authors and quality controlled. Data were ranked to ensure a consistent metric across studies (score range, 0-100). We used a 3-level multilevel model nesting repeated measures of outcomes within participants, who were nested within studies. Results: Individual participant data were obtained for 21 of 22 eligible trials, representing 1047 of 1073 eligible participants. When controlling for antidepressant use, participants receiving DCS showed greater improvement from pretreatment to posttreatment (mean difference, -3.62; 95% CI, -0.81 to -6.43; P = .01; d = -0.25) but not from pretreatment to midtreatment (mean difference, -1.66; 95% CI, -4.92 to 1.60; P = .32; d = -0.14) or from pretreatment to follow-up (mean difference, -2.98, 95% CI, -5.99 to 0.03; P = .05; d = -0.19). Additional analyses showed that participants assigned to DCS were associated with lower symptom severity than those assigned to placebo at posttreatment and at follow-up. Antidepressants did not moderate the effects of DCS. None of the prespecified patient-level or study-level moderators was associated with outcomes. Conclusions and Relevance: D-cycloserine is associated with a small augmentation effect on exposure-based therapy. This effect is not moderated by the concurrent use of antidepressants. Further research is needed to identify patient and/or therapy characteristics associated with DCS response.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
In this individual participant data meta-analysis, D-cycloserine (DCS) produced a small short-term augmentation effect on exposure-based cognitive behavior therapy for anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and posttraumatic stress disorders. The effect was not moderated by antidepressant use, and only publication year emerged as a significant moderator.
Key findings
- Controlling for antidepressant use, DCS was superior to placebo from pretreatment to posttreatment (mean difference, −3.62; 95% CI, −0.81 to −6.43; P = .01; d = −0.25), but not from pretreatment to midtreatment (mean difference, −1.66; 95% CI, −4.92 to 1.60; P = .32; d = −0.14) or follow-up (mean difference, −2.98; 95% CI, −5.99 to 0.03; P = .05; d = −0.19).
- DCS recipients had lower symptom severity than placebo recipients at posttreatment (difference, −3.19; 95% CI, −0.95 to −5.43; P = .006; d = −0.21) and follow-up (difference, −2.54; 95% CI, −0.04 to −5.04; P = .05; d = −0.16).
- Antidepressants did not moderate DCS effects, but regardless of randomized treatment, participants taking antidepressants improved more from pretreatment to follow-up (difference, −4.32; 95% CI, −0.64 to −8.01; P = .02; d = −0.28).
- Only publication year was a significant moderator: more recent studies showed smaller DCS–placebo differences at follow-up (b = 4.02; 95% CI, 0.59–7.45; P = .02; d = 0.26). Subgroup analyses found DCS advantage only for social anxiety disorder, and antidepressant moderation only for panic disorder with or without agoraphobia (n = 77; 2 studies).
Methods
- One-stage individual participant data meta-analysis of double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trials of DCS augmentation for exposure-based CBT/behavior therapy in specific phobia, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or posttraumatic stress disorder; PubMed, EMBASE, and PsycINFO were searched from inception to February 10, 2016.
- IPD were obtained for 21 of 22 eligible trials, representing 1047 of 1073 eligible participants (523 DCS, 521 placebo; 3 missing group allocation); mean (SD) age was 32.1 (13.5) years, 516 (49.4%) were women, 275 (26.9%) were receiving antidepressants, and mean (SD) treatment sessions were 7.6 (4.5).
- Outcomes were harmonized to ranked scores (range 0–100) and analyzed with a 3-level multilevel model nesting repeated measures within participants within studies, using intent-to-treat analyses and testing prespecified and post hoc moderators.
Limitations
- The paper states less power to detect study-level moderators/predictors and for subgroup analyses; only 4 pediatric studies, limiting generalizability to younger populations; different outcome measures required transformation to ranked scores; and in-session experiences could not be examined as moderators.
- Evident from the text: one eligible trial (26 participants) could not be included because the local ethics committee did not allow data sharing, leaving 97.6% of available data; discrepancies between provided IPD and original reports were found in 16 of 21 studies (29 mismatches, mostly antidepressant medication counts); and DCS dose was highly skewed (428/523 [81.8%] received 50 mg), with most trials administering the drug about 1 hour before exposure, limiting variability for dose and timing analyses.

“On the other hand, because there were only 21 studies, the power to detect even a large effect size (d = 0.80) for the study-level moderators/predictors (eg, sample size and diagnosis) was only approximately 0.70 for single predictors (eg, sample size) and only about 0.40 for diagnosis, which was comprised of 4 dummy variables.”

The paper relies on this without support.
A substantial proportion of patients with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, or posttraumatic stress disorders do not achieve sufficient symptom relief with first-line CBT or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and require additional long-term care.
“While there is ample support for the efficacy of CBT and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, a substantial proportion of patients do not achieve sufficient symptom relief and require additional long-term care.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
In one study with a mismatch on the medication breakdown, the actual data set was correct.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“A recent systematic review of d-cycloserine as a means to augment psychotherapy for SAD found that it provides a small augmentation effect for exposure therapy in treating SAD (17).”
In the citing paper
“The most recent meta-analysis attributes only small, if at all, clinical effects of DCS augmentation of EBT for the treatment of anxiety disorders, OCD or PTSD (Burkner, Bittner, Holling, & Buhlmann, 2017;Mataix-Cols et al., 2017;Stojek, McSweeney, & Rauch, 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
