Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare ziprasidone (Geodon) monotherapy for the treatment of psychotic major depression (PMD)with an antidepressant/antipsychotic combined therapy.


Clinical Trial Description

Psychotic depression is a well-established DSM-IV diagnostic subtype indicating the presence of hallucinations and/or delusions as part of the clinical presentation. Currently the treatment of choice for psychotic depression is either electroconvulsive therapy or combination of antipsychotic and antidepressant medications. Ziprasidone will be compared to standard of care treatment comprising a combination of an antidepressant, sertraline and an antipsychotic, haloperidol, over a 12-week period. An additional 12-week extension phase is also included for responders to the initial study. ;
