Clinical Trial Summary

This is a rater-blinded, randomized controlled trial. All patients will receive esketamine for treatment of Major Depression with Suicidal Ideation (MDSI). Subjects will be randomized (1:1) to receive CBT (computer-assisted) or TAU alone following esketamine.


Clinical Trial Description

Specific Aim 1: To determine the feasibility and safety of performing a larger study examining the effectiveness and mechanism of action of CBT to improve the longer-term outcomes following esketamine treatment in patients hospitalized for suicidal ideation or suicide attempt. Specific Aim 2: To evaluate the appropriateness and utility of the proposed tests of cognitive control measures in exploring the mechanisms underlying the effects on depression of esketamine and the combination of esketamine+CBT. Specific Aim 3: To examine the efficacy of esketamine+CBT combination compared to esketamine+TAU in reducing suicidal ideation. In August 2022, the targeted enrollment was expanded to include outpatient participants, the anticipated enrollment was increased from 60 to 100 participants as a result. ;
