Filter by:STUDY OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of acamprosate versus placebo in the treatment of alcohol dependence in adults with co-occurring mood or anxiety disorders (specifically, depression (MDE), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or social anxiety disorder). Secondary objectives are to evaluate the effect of acamprosate treatment on mood and anxiety disorders. STUDY DESIGN: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating acamprosate in the treatment of alcohol dependence in adult outpatients with concurrent mood and/or anxiety disorders. The active study phase will be 12 weeks in duration. There will be a two-week screening period, followed by 12 weeks of study medication and a follow-up assessment at 14 weeks from randomization. STUDY POPULATION: A total of 90 (30 per site) men and women aged 18-60 years who have a current diagnosis of alcohol dependence as well as a current DSM-IV diagnosis of either MDE, GAD and/or social anxiety will be recruited to participate in this study. Only those individuals whose psychiatric disorders are stable will be randomized to acamprosate or placebo. Three sites will participate in this trial. TREATMENTS: Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive either acamprosate or matching placebo for 12 weeks. EFFICACY ASSESSEMENTS: The primary efficacy outcome measure will be cumulative days abstinent as measured by self-report.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superior efficacy of Quetiapine fumarate sustained release (SEROQUEL) compared with placebo when used as a mono-therapy in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorders PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation.

Major depression is a widely spread health problem in Canada. Recent research suggests a potential role for religion/spirituality in the prevention of and recovery from depression in adults. The purpose this study was to assess the efficacy of a home-based Spirituality Teaching Program for adults in the treatment of major depression. The objectives of the study were to determine: 1. whether the Spirituality Teaching Program is efficacious in improving depression severity, response rate, and remission rate in adults, 2. whether efficacy is maintained long term (over a 16 week period).
This study is to evaluate that (SEROQUEL®) quetiapine sustained-release is efficacious and safe in the treatment of patients with MDD.
The purpose of the study is to test whether oral 6(S)-5-MTHF (Deplin®) is safe and effective in relieving depression when it is added to standard kinds of antidepressants called serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
This registry will collect information about patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) who are currently in a major depressive episode. For the purposes of this study, TRD is defined as an ongoing depression lasting at least 2 years or that has recurred at least 3 times, to include the current episode, during the patient's lifetime AND has not adequately responded to 4 or more adequate antidepressive treatments. The registry will follow the clinical course and outcomes for patients with TRD who are treated with and without adjunctive (used along with other treatments for depression) vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy.
This study is to evaluate that (SEROQUEL®) quetiapine sustained-release is efficacious and safe in the treatment of patients with MDD.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the nicotinic receptor antagonist mecamylamine hydrochloride (Inversine) can augment SSRI-refractory major depression symptoms, quality of life and cigarette smoking outcomes. A total of n=60 SSRI-refractory patients who are on stable doses of an SSRI are being recruited into this 8-week double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.
