Filter by:The major purpose of the study is to help determine whether giving the combination of Elzasonan with Zoloft to people with depression is a better treatment than taking Zoloft alone. This study will also compare the safety and tolerability of Elzasonan and Zoloft combination to Zoloft alone or placebo.
Our goal is to study pharmacogenetics in Mexican-Americans, using depression treatments as a proof of the concept that pharmacogenetic approaches can be used to optimize treatment strategies for common and complex disorders in this population.
The objective of this project is to examine the state of the brain in people over 50 years old suffering from late-onset depression by means of an extensive clinical assessment programme, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), neuropsychological testing, neurological examination, eye examination as well as blood and saliva samples. The results are to be compared with results from a control group matched for gender and age.
This study will identify specific genes that may cause a predisposition to depression in some families.
This is a research study to determine whether omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, when taken with the antidepressant medication escitalopram (Lexapro), helps to improve depressive symptoms in individuals who have major depressive disorder (MDD). Omega-3 fatty acids are found in foods including walnuts, some fruits and vegetables, and coldwater fish such as herring, mackerel, sturgeon, and anchovies.
To evaluate the efficacy of a fixed dose of SR58611A(350 mg q12) compared to placebo in patients with MajorDepressive Disorder (MDD) using escitalopram (10 mgqd) as positive control. The study is a multicenter, US and Canadian, randomized, double-blind, 3-parallel-group, placebo- and escitalopram-controlled, Phase III study consisting of four segments (A, B, C and D). Segment A is a 1-week, placebo, single-blind period. Segment B is an 8-week, double-blind period. Segment C is an optional 18-week double-blind extension period. Segment D is a 1-week safety follow-up period after study drug discontinuation or early termination (during Segment B or C).
To evaluate the efficacy of a fixed dose of SR58611A(350 mg q12) compared to placebo in patients with MajorDepressive Disorder (MDD) using escitalopram (10 mgqd) as positive control. In addition, the tolerability and safety of SR58611A in patients with MDD will be evaluated.
This study will develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a culturally based program that aims to facilitate entry, retention, and successful treatment in specialized mental health services for Hispanics with major depressive disorder.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the addition of CONCERTA® (methylphenidate hydrochloride, a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant) or placebo in adult outpatients with Major Depressive Disorder who are currently being treated with oral antidepressant medication (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or selective norepinephine reuptake inhibitors). The general symptoms of depression will be evaluated, as measured by the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Score (MADRS) on fatigue, energy, and overall severity of illness. The safety and tolerability of the CONCERTA® and antidepressant combination therapy will also be assessed.
The purpose of this study was to use Magnetic Resonance Images to further our understanding of predictors and markers of treatment response and non-response in geriatric depression. We hypothesized that concentrations of high energy metabolites would be lower in depressed elderly compared to non-depressed.
