Filter by:The objectives of this exploratory trial are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and subjects' subjective satisfaction when switching to adjunctive brexpiprazole in subjects with MDD who have responded inadequately to preceding adjunctive drug therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of 800 mg MSI-195 in reducing symptoms of depression in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)patients with inadequate response to current antidepressant therapy.
Existing drug and talking therapies for major depressive disorder (MDD) fail to produce complete recovery. This study will determine if substantial improvements to one of the most promising therapies, cognitive therapy (CT), can be achieved by administering a carefully designed procedure to improve memory for the content of CT sessions. This is important because (a) memory deficits are common in MDD patients and (b) each CT therapy session typically covers a complex array of topics and various skills are taught.
The purpose of this study is to investigate brain pathways within adult females (with a history of CSA that occurred between the ages of 5-14) with and without a current diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD). Hypotheses: The CSA/MDD participants will be characterized by (1) reduced reward responsiveness and prefrontal cortex activity, but increased cortisol levels, (2) reduced dopamine activity, and (3) reduced dopamine transporter binding. The over-arching purpose of the study is to (1) identify individuals at risk for psychopathology and maladaptive behavior, (2) prevent re-victimization, and (3) develop more targeted therapeutic interventions.
This feasibility study investigates effects of EEG-based low frequency, low emission magnetic cortical stimulation in comparison to a sham treatment in subjects with moderate to severe depressive disorder.
The purpose of this retrospective observational study is to evaluate the characteristics of patients receiving Seroquel XR as treatment for their Major Depressive Disorder. The study will also investigate how the medication is used for these patients and if there are any differences in drug utilisation between the included countries. The study is observing patients initiating Seroquel XR during a 9 month period corresponding to 3 to 12 months following the launch of the product in each country for the MDD indication. A drug utilisation questionnaire will be used to collect study data from patients' medical records.
MAN-BIOPSY pursues the concrete research question whether novel biological and psycho-physiological clusters or categories can be defined to improve treatment and minimize side effects in psychiatry, based on a synopsis of physiological, behavioural, genetic and endocrinological parameters. One major aspect of our research approach is its focuses on the identification of dysfunctions in fundamental information processing mechanisms and neurocomputational mechanisms, and is not restricted to symptom-oriented tasks. The main objectives of MAN-BIOPSY are therefore - to identify biological and psycho-physiological parameters for major depressive disorders and anxiety disorders, and - to identify predictive markers for treatment response and type/severity of side effects for these disorders.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a single low dose of the D2/D3 antagonist amisulpride on reward processing. More generally, this study will test the role of dopamine (a naturally occurring brain chemical) in depression. Hypotheses: Administration of a single low dose of the D2/D3 antagonist amisulpride will (1) improve performance in a behavioral task assessing learning from feedback and (2) boost activation in reward-related brain regions.
The purpose of this study is to assess if LY2216684 (flexible dose of 12 to 18 milligrams [mg] or fixed dose of 6 mg once daily) is superior to placebo once daily in the adjunctive treatment of participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who were identified as partial responders to an adequate course of treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) during an 8-week, double-blind, acute adjunctive treatment phase.
The purpose of this study is to assess nausea severity in response to four different drug dosing strategies of Duloxetine (30 mg with food, 60 mg with food, 30 mg without food, and 60 mg without food) in Korean patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
