Filter by:An open-label, long-term, safety study of AXS-05 in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), including treatment resistant depression.
This study is expected to include 90 patients with major depressive disorder and rheumatoid arthritis as study subjects.Randomly divided into 3 groups: drug + VNS stimulation group, drug + sham stimulation group and drug group, each group had 30 patients.The treatment period of each group was 8 weeks.Age and sex were matched in all three groups.Scale evaluation and inflammatory factor test were performed before treatment (baseline), at week 4 and week 8 after treatment.Head MRI, evoked potential, and electrocardiogram were performed at baseline and at the end of week 8.
Co-occurring post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) is the most common response to trauma; it is associated with poor clinical outcomes and substantial human disability. Veterans with both PTSD and MDD (PTSD+MDD) have been shown to be at much greater suicidal risk than individuals with only one of these disorders. Ketamine given as repeated infusions has been shown to be effective in rapidly reducing PTSD and MDD symptoms in treatment resistant PTSD+MDD individuals. However, knowledge about the mechanisms underlying comorbid PTSD and MDD remain limited. The purpose of this study is to use repeated ketamine infusions as a probe to validate a model of PTSD+MDD that focuses on neuroanatomy and executive functioning.
Depression is a highly prevalent condition characterized by persistent low mood, energy, and activity that can affect one's thoughts, mood, behavior, and sense of well-being. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive neuromodulatory technique, is an effective treatment for depression. However, remission rates are suboptimal and ideal stimulation parameters are unknown. The overarching goal of this study is to elucidate how brain changes accumulate during rTMS, and how these changes relate to clinical outcome. I plan to recruit patients with medication-resistant depression and treat with four weeks of rTMS in a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled fashion. I will measure brain changes using TMS-EEG and determine how these changes relate to clinical outcome. This study will 1) test how brain changes relate to clinical outcome and 2) establish a computational model to help predict outcome and propose novel treatment protocols.
Despite a possible psychomotor retardation during a depressive episode, standardized psychomotor assessment is rare. So, other possible psychomotor disorders or neurological "soft signs" are not known in depression. The investigator propose in this study to explore the psychomotor characteristics of patients with a major depressive disorder from the realization of a psychomotor assessment in comparison with adult without depressive disorder (control). It will be specifically assess muscle tone, gross motor skills, praxis, body schema and the body image and the perceptions.
The study will compare two groups of patients: a control group of patients treated per the Standard of Care when prescribed with a medication for their Major depression disorder, versus a group of patients that used the Predictix Antidepressant tool when prescribed with a medication for their Major depression disorder by their treating physician. Success will be measured by the number (proportion) of responders per group.
This study aims to openly test the long-term safety, tolerability and effectiveness of repeated administration of IM/SC ketamine for treatment resistant MDD.
A Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial of AXS-05 in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
Although antidepressants are the primary treatment for major depression, response and remission rates are unsatisfactory. The primary objective of this study is to identify if adding interpersonal group therapy (IPT-G) to the usual psychopharmacological and clinical management treatment will improve depressive symptoms in major depression outpatients.
This is not a treatment study. In this study, the researchers are primarily interested in examining whether functional MRI (fMRI)-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may be more effective than traditional TMS methods at temporarily influencing neural circuit communication. The investigators test this by combining TMS and fMRI technologies to probe and modulate brain activity. If the novel fMRI-guided TMS stimulation used in this study is more effective than traditional methods, future studies may utilize similar personalized TMS targeting methods to yield even better clinical outcomes.
