Filter by:This is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of venlafaxine ER 75 mg/day (fixed dose) and venlafaxine ER 75 mg/day to 225 mg/day (flexible dose), compared to placebo. This study consists of 2 week screening phase, 8 week treatment phase and 2 week tapering phase. The follow-up visit will be evaluated after 2 weeks of last study medication dosing.
Harley and colleagues demonstrated that adding Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills-groups and therapist consultation to treatment as usual successfully reduced symptoms of depression. The present study will expand upon these findings. Second, DBT is not known for reducing suicidal ideation (SI), a major risk factor for suicide . The present study will tailor the aforementioned skills-groups to specifically target suicidal thoughts and behaviors through Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) strategies aimed at increasing problem-solving deficits, hopelessness, and negativistic thinking. Third, the present study will extend this DBT-based approach to a novel population. Fourth, the present study is the first DBT intervention to employ state-of-the-art multi-method measurement (including objective assessment) of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The investigators hypothesize that participants in the DBT skills (DBT-S) group will show improvements in level of suicidality as measured by decreased scores on the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation as compared with participants in the Wait List-Treatment as Usual (WL-TAU) group.
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of RO4917523 as adjunctive therapy in patients with major depressive disorder and an inadequate response to ongoing antidepressant therapy. Anticipated time on study treatment is 6 weeks with a 3-week follow-up.
This study will examine SPD489 in subjects aged 18-65 with major depressive disorder (MDD) who are taking certain types of antidepressants but continue to have residual depression symptoms. Eligible patients will remain on their antidepressant but will be randomized to either receive supplemental SPD489 or placebo (i.e. sugar pill). The purpose of this study is to help answer the following questions: - How safe is SPD489 for the supplemental treatment of depression and what are the side effects that might be related to it? - Can supplemental SPD489 help patients who still have residual depression symptoms while taking an antidepressant? - How much SPD489 should be given to patients with depression who are also taking an antidepressant? - How does SPD489 compare to placebo in depressed patients who are also taking an antidepressant?

A multicenter, 8-week study to evaluate the efficacy of 2 doses (50 and 100 mg/day) of desvenlafaxine succinate sustained-release (DVS SR) versus placebo in adult outpatients with major depressive disorder.
This pilot study seeks to replicate previous findings that sleep deprivation results in marked improvement in depression symptoms, as well as to test whether concurrent treatment with Light Therapy and Lithium are successful in locking in and maintaining therapeutic effects in both bipolar and unipolar depressed subjects.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a Deep Shaped-Field repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (DSF-rTMS) system in the treatment of depression.
Poor adherence is a common reason for treatment failure in many fields of medicine, and likely affects common psychiatric treatments as well. Members of the present study team have used Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS®) caps effectively to objectively monitor adherence in skin disease, and have shown that they provide a much more accurate measure of adherence behavior than self-reports, pill counts, or serum drug concentrations. The present study will use MEMS® caps to measure adherence in 10 patients with depression and 10 patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from a student clinic population. The aims will be to show the usefulness of MEMS® caps in measuring adherence to psychiatric treatment, and gather data on typical adherence rates for depression and ADHD patients on typical treatment regimens. The data obtained will be used to inform future studies that use an intervention to improve adherence behavior and ultimately disease outcomes.
