Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of JNJ-42847922 in participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
This is a non-randomized, single-case design of pharmacogenetic implementation in a mental health patient population of subjects taking antipsychotics and/or antidepressants.
Objectives: 1. To evaluate the relationship between improvement of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) score and basal SERT availability (binding potential) for the prognosis of MDD subjects being treated with Sertraline HCl 2. To evaluate the SERT availability by means of I-123-ADAM SPECT imaging study for assisting in detecting MDD 3. To evaluate the relationship between basal HAMD score and basal SERT availability for MDD subjects 4. To evaluate the relationship between basal HAMD somatic subscale score and basal SERT availability for MDD subjects 5. To evaluate the relationship between change of SERT availability and change of HAMD score for MDD patients being treated with Sertraline HCl
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of sirukumab as adjunctive treatment to antidepressant therapy (monoaminergic antidepressant) where sirukumab (administered as a 50 milligram (mg) subcutaneous (SC) injection at Day 1, Day 28 and Day 56 during the 12- week double-blind treatment period) is compared to adjunctive placebo based on the change from baseline to 12-week endpoint in depressive symptoms as measured by the total score on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), in participants diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have had a suboptimal response to the current standard oral antidepressant therapy and have a screening high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) >=0.300 milligram per deciliters (mg/dL) (International System of Units (SI) 3.00 mg/L). A cohort of subjects with hsCRP <0.300 milligram per deciliter will also be enrolled to allow a better understanding of the relationship between CRP and clinical changes.
This study investigates influences of nordadrenergic activity on cognition in patients with major depression regarding influences of early life stress.
The aim of the study is to determine the influence of supplementation of probiotic Lactobacillus Plantarum 299V vs. placebo of probiotic during antidepressant monotherapy with SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) in patients with major depression.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of levomilnacipran (FETZIMA) compared to placebo for the treatment of depression in older adults.
Evidence exists supporting the ability of genetic variations to influence patient drug response and side effects. Previous studies utilizing an open-label design have shown significant improvement in major depressive disorder (MDD) patient outcomes following use of the GeneSight Psychotropic (GEN) test. The first objective of this trial is to utilize a double-blinded, randomized clinical trial design to replicate previous findings of improvement in clinical outcomes in MDD subjects whose medication therapy was guided by GEN testing. Another objective is to determine the added benefit of Enhanced-GeneSight (E-GEN) compared to GEN for the pharmacogenomic guidance of treatment selections. Furthermore, this trial intends to develop an evidence-based case for the value of GEN and E-GEN to Canadian healthcare payers.
The investigators will compare 3 treatment groups (ketamine plus naltrexone vs. ketamine alone vs. placebo) for treating major depressive disorder (MDD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) in an 8-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, between-subjects trial. First, prior to the double-blind trial, the investigators will conduct an open-label trial that will include 5 patients with comorbid MDD and AUD to test safety and efficacy of repeated ketamine treatment (0.5 mg/kg; once a week for 4 weeks; a total of 4 ketamine infusions) with a follow-up of 4 weeks. Second, after reviewing the safety and efficacy of repeated ketamine treatment from the open-label trial, the investigators will conduct an 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that will include 60 patients with comorbid MDD and AUD to test safety and efficacy of repeated ketamine treatment (0.5 mg/kg; once a week for 4 weeks; a total of 4 ketamine infusions) plus naltrexone with a follow-up of 4 weeks. The 4-month follow-up session will also occur.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects after up to 1 year of supervised weekly Tai-Chi-Chi versus Health Education and Wellness classes on reduction of depressive symptoms and improvement in resilience, health functioning, quality of life, cognition, sleep, fMRI neural correlates of working memory, and brain structure.
