The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate and compare the effect of a mild inflammatory stimulus (typhoid vaccine) on immune response, mood and cognition in healthy volunteers compared to patients with history Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) (not currently depressed and no symptoms of depression in the past 6 months).
The proposed study addresses a gap regarding the need for effective Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) treatments and the 40% of individuals treated with antidepressant medications that do not achieve full remission. This study tests a novel approach for treating MDD in a Randomized Control Trial (RTC) using yoga versus walking interventions to correct an imbalance in the Autonomic Nervous System; an over active Sympathetic Nervous System (fight or flight) an underactive Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) (rest, renewal and social engagement) and associated under activity in the neurotransmitter, gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA). This novel approach is complimentary to the use of antidepressant medications that primarily target the monoamine systems. Low activity in the PNS and GABA systems are also found in MDD, PTSD, and Alcohol Use Disorder, disorders representing a high healthcare burden in the Veteran population. This intervention has potential to provide relief for MDD and other disorders relevant the Veteran population
This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to assess the efficacy and safety of brexpiprazole as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. A total of approximately 1100 subjects will be enrolled into the single-blind treatment for 6 weeks, and 480 incomplete responders will be randomized to brexpiprazole (2~3 mg) or placebo in a 1:1 ratio (approximately 240 subjects in each group), for treatment of 6 weeks.
This study aims to test the potential of group metacognitive therapy in alleviating emotional distress in cancer survivors. The investigators aim to find out if a group based approach is acceptable to patients and feasible to deliver in a routine clinical health psychology service.
The purpose of this long-term study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of duloxetine hydrochloride in Japanese children and adolescents with depressive disorder.
This study aims to determine whether a combination a first-line antidepressant plus "RT2CK17" in a capsule relative to a first-line antidepressant plus placebo in a capsule results in higher rates of medication adherence in individuals with moderate to severe depression. In this double-blind randomized placebo controlled trial, 100 individuals with a Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report (QIDS-SR) scale score ≥ 14 will be enrolled to participate in an 8 week treatment study. Participants will be randomized with a 1-1 ratio to receive 5 milligrams (mg) "RT2CK17" + 10 mg escitalopram or placebo + 10 mg escitalopram to be taken orally once per day. Participants will undergo a 3 hour baseline evaluation visit at week 0, two 30-minute office visits (week 2 and 4), one 60-minute office visit (week 8) and three 5-minute phone calls (weeks 1, 3, and 6) during which clinical assessments and measures will be obtained. The trial is designed with two stages: 20 participants in Stage 1 will be used to estimate the adherence effect size; Stage 2 is designed with an interim analysis to test our hypotheses.
Open-label randomized clinical trial assessing the efficacy of Metformin versus Vitamin D in improving symptoms of depressed mood in polycystic ovary syndrome.
The study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 450 milligrams (mg) of Rapastinel, compared to placebo in adult patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who are at imminent risk of suicide.
The habenula(Hb) is an epithalamic structure located at the center of the dorsal diencephalic conduction system, a pathway involved in linking forebrain to midbrain regions. An increasing number of studies indicates that overactivity in the lateral habeluna(LHb) is present during depressed states, where it could drive the changes in midbrain activity linked to depression. Deep brain stimulation(DBS) of the major afferent bundle (i.e., stria medullaris thalami) of the LHb can treat treatment-resistant major depression(TRD). There is no clinical case of directly stimulating habeluna for treatment TRD. This research will investigate effectiveness and safety of bilateral DBS to habenula for patients with TRD. This study will also use structural and functional MRI to explore the underlying mechanism of Hb's effects on TRD.
