Filter by:In the Investigator's ongoing studies of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in older adults, it has been found that older adults with PTSD frequently meet the criteria for comorbid Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Moreover, relative to trauma-exposed healthy controls (TEHCs), elders with PTSD manifest executive function deficits, fatigability, and mobility and physical function deficits that are consistent with what the investigator has observed in depressed older adults. Yet, the investigator has found that very few older adults with combined PTSD/MDD have received appropriate antidepressant treatment for their condition. These findings give rise to the questions of (1) how effective is antidepressant treatment for depressive symptoms in the context of PTSD/MDD and (2) are cognitive and physical function deficits in PTSD/MDD patients reversible with effective antidepressant treatment?
This multi-modal methods study will investigate neurophysiological, endocrinological, cognitive, psycho-social-emotional markers of disease, and targets for integrative health treatments in mood disorders.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple ascending doses of GATE-101 in normal human volunteers
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Seltorexant compared with placebo as adjunctive therapy to an antidepressant in improving depressive symptoms in participants with major depressive disorder with insomnia symptoms (MDDIS) who have had an inadequate response to current antidepressant therapy with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI).
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of accelerated bilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on major depression, anxiety, cognitive function and physiological parameters in elderly depressive patients.
This is a home-based study in adults with depression. People who have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder can participate in the study. Participants can take part if they are being treated for their depression but still have symptoms. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1358894 helps people with depression. Participants are in the study for about 2 months and do not need to visit a study site during this time. All study visits are conducted at participant's home by a mobile study nurse, by videoconference, and by phone calls. Participants are put into 2 groups by chance. One group takes BI 1358894 tablets. The other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like BI 1358894 tablets but do not contain any medicine. The participants answer questions about the symptoms of their depression. We then compare the results between the BI 1358894 and placebo groups. The doctors and nurses also regularly check the general health of the participants.
This is a Phase 2 double-blind, long-term observational follow-up study of participants from Study PSIL201. Participants providing informed consent will be enrolled into this study and will complete web surveys and telephone interviews conducted by one central site at the following time intervals: months 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (± 7 days for each assessment) and months 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 (± 14 days for each assessment).
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an effective treatment for MDD, but the overall effect sized of the treatment is equivalent to antidepressant pharmacotherapy, and responses are highly variable. Given that rTMS is usually given to patients who have failed pharmacotherapy, a more effective alternative is needed. Therefore, this study will combine computerized cognitive training (CCT) during standard rTMS treatments and assess its feasibility, tolerability, and changes in cognitive control performance and depression symptoms. Participants that agree to the study and meet eligibility will receive standard rTMS (generally 25-36 daily treatments) along with CCT (starting on day 5 of treatment until the pre-taper treatment). In addition, to CCT participants will be asked to complete assessments before and after treatment
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of escitalopram plus PS128 to escitalopram in the acute treatment of patients with major depressive disorder.
Although antidepressants are the primary treatment for major depression, response and remission rates are unsatisfactory. The primary objective of this study is to identify if adding interpersonal group therapy (IPT-G) to the usual psychopharmacological and clinical management treatment will improve depressive symptoms in major depression outpatients.
