Clinical Trial Summary

Pragmatic clinical trial of an add-on therapy regarding the use of edupression.com® - a licensed computer based self-help program - on patients with therapy-resistant depression receiving esketamine nasal spray


Clinical Trial Description

edupression.com® - is a medical product and computer based self-help program based on cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation and mood tracking. Patients included in the interventional arm of this study are receiving full access to edupression.com®. Due to limited resources regarding face-to-face therapy and a high prevalence of Major Depressive Disorder - of which 37% can be identified as therapy-resistant depression (TRD) according to the definition of the European Medical Agency (EMA) - low-intensity psychosocial interventions such as edupression.com® are recommended as first-line digital therapeutic agent by international guidelines such as National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. Studies have shown that digital interventions - such as edupression.com - show comparable clinical efficiency to face-to-face therapy and therefore could be able to fill the gap in limited ressources. In this study patients with therapy-resistant depression are receiving therapy with edupression.com® in addition to their treatment-as-usual with esketamine nasal spray. Comparable studies have shown that patients receiving psychotherapy in addition to their medical therapy benefit in regards to their clinical outcome. Considering these findings, this study is aimed to investigate potential clinical benefits in patients receiving digital therapy with edupression®.com as an add-on therapy to their treatment-as-usual therapy with esketamine nasal spray. ;
