Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the comparative bioavailability between bupropion hydrochloride 300 mg extended release tablets (Teva Pharmaceuticals USA) and Wellbutrin XL® 300 mg extended release tablets (Biovail Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) at steady-state in patients under fasting conditions.
The current trial will explore the safety of flibanserin in combination with Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors or Norepinephrine Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors in a representative population of women with depressive and possible concurrent anxiety symptomatology.
The primary objectives of the study are to test whether brain Mono Amine Oxidase-A (MAO-A) levels are elevated in patients with treatment-resistant major depression, and to explore whether MAO-A brain levels predict treatment outcome with Mono Amine Oxidase Inhibitor (MAOI) medication in this population.
The efficacy and tolerability of Neurapas® balance was compared against placebo in this single-centre, controlled, double-blind study in patients with a mild depressive episode. After a one-week placebo run-in phase to exclude placebo responders, patients were given the study medication (Neurapas® balance or placebo) for 6 weeks in a dose of 3 x 2 tablets daily. The improvement in symptoms of depression was assessed on the basis of the internationally established Hamilton Depression Scale 21. The Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A), the Clinical Global Impressions (CGI), Quality of Life questionnaire (SF-36) according to Bullinger (German version) and a Sleep questionnaire (SQ) were used as further efficacy criteria.
This study will test the feasibility and effectiveness of protected time for physicians in training during 30 hour shifts in a medical intensive care unit. The primary outcome will be fatigue. Secondary outcomes include the amount slept while on call, depression, and burnout.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of Seroquel monotherapy for the treatment of Major Depression with Psychotic features with Seroquel plus Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor.
This is a subject blind, investigator and sponsor open, randomized study consisting of 2 parts. Up to 15 healthy subjects will be included in the study. In the first part of the study the test retest reliability of the radiotracer [11C] PF 04767135 binding in man will be assessed. In the second part of this study, using [11C] PF 04767135, kappa opioid receptor occupancy (RO) will be assessed in up to three cohorts of subjects.
The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of antidepressants on the treatments for non-psychotic major depressive disorder (MDD) in Korea. The study divides MDD patients into 3 level groups according to their past histories to treatments and compares the effectiveness of various treatment regimens at each level. The treatment level groups are: 1) patients who have never been treated with appropriate medications for their current depressive symptoms before, 2) who received an appropriate SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) once but did not respond to it, 3) who received two types of SSRI antidepressant treatments without much effects in reducing their depressive symptoms. The first level group will be treated with a single SSRI antidepressant treatment. The second and third level groups, who received SSRI treatment before, will be treated with alternative SSRI antidepressants (switching), combined multiple SSRI treatments (antidepressant combination), or SSRI treatments combined with mood stabilizer or anti-psychotics (augmentation). This study does not use placebos. Patients will visit 5 times for 6 weeks at each level for treatments. Patients will be evaluated for the severity of depressive symptoms, functional level, and side effects at each visit. Afterwards, the investigations will combine to monitor the patients depressive symptoms in every 3 months for the next 24 months. 18 nationwide university hospitals will participate in this study. This multi-site, prospective, and naturalistic study for patients with depression in Korea is a main project of 'Clinical Research Center for Depression' funded by the Ministry for Health, Welfare, and Family Affairs (MIHWAF) in Korea for a highly-qualified research achievement.
This study will report on the outcomes of rTMS administered 3 times per week, compared with the standard protocol of 5 times per week. Participants will be randomly assigned to frequency condition and depressive symptomatology will be measured weekly using a range of clinician and self-rated questionnaires. Participants will remain in the study for at least 4 weeks, with the option of continuing for a further 2 weeks as judged by the study psychiatrist. It is hypothesised that rTMS administered three times per week will be equally as effective as rTMS administered five times per week in reducing depressive symptomatology.
RATIONALE: Gathering information from patients who received treatment for metastatic cancer while participating in a phase II or phase III randomized clinical trial and from patients receiving standard treatment off-trial may help doctors learn more about the psychological and emotional results of being in a clinical trial. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is comparing the psychological and emotional impact of participating in a randomized clinical trial with the impact of standard treatment in patients with metastatic cancer.
