NCT07115329
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if zelquistinel works to treat depression in adults. It will also learn about the safety of zelquistinel. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does zelquistinel reduce depression scores in participants compared to participants who take a placebo (a look-alike tablet that contains no zelquistinel1)? What medical problems are observed in participants who take zelquistinel? Participants will take one tablet of zelquistinel or placebo every week for 6 weeks. Participants will visit the clinic every week of the 6 week period to have the severity of their depression evaluated.

Adolescent participants will have three study sessions at McLean Hospital, and during two of them, their mothers will also have assessments. Adolescent assessments will include interviews, questionnaires, computer tasks, and collection of a saliva sample for genetic analyses. Their second study visit will include an fMRI scan. Parent assessments will include an interview, questionnaires, and a computer task.
NCT07025720
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a fast-acting brain stimulation treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help people with depression and suicidal thoughts. The treatment is non-invasive (does not involve surgery or medications), is given over 5 days, and uses brain imaging (MRI) to guide which part of the brain to target. This study tests whether this treatment is a helpful and practical option for adolescents and young adults who are depressed and have suicidal thoughts. We want to see if: 1. This treatment is feasible and acceptable to patients 2. It can reduce depression and suicidal thoughts 3. It can lower the chance of going to the hospital 4. It affects daily functioning (school, work, relationships) All participants will undergo 5-days of TMS treatment and complete MRI brain scans before and after treatment. They will return for check-ups after 1 week and 4 weeks.
NCT06780917
The goal of this observational study is to validate the Creyos online cognitive assessment platform in individuals with mild cognitive impairment, or remitted major depressive disorder. The main objectives of this research are: 1. To confirm the feasibility of administering the Creyos cognitive battery to older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment MCI) or Major Depressive Disorder in remission (rMDD). 2. To determine whether the Creyos battery can detect changes in cognition that are predictive of changes on paper-and-pencil neuropsychological testing ("gold standard") over up to five years. Participants will complete both in-person neuropsychological testing yearly as well as the Creyos online battery quarterly for up to 5 years, to allow us to compare performance on these two batteries over time.
NCT07452692
The two products used in this study are transdermal patches that contain selegiline. The test drug is the Selegiline Transdermal Delivery System (TDS). The comparator drug is the EMSAM® TDS. The purpose of this research study is to compare how the skin tolerates the test TDS and the comparator TDS. The study will evaluate and compare skin irritation and possible allergic-type skin reactions (sensitization) caused by the two products. The comparison will be based on how the skin responds to repeated applications of each TDS. This includes the assessment of skin irritation during the Induction Period and the evaluation of possible allergic or sensitization reactions after the Challenge Period. In addition, the adhesion of each patch (how well the patch sticks to the skin over time) will be regularly checked, as this is important for both product performance and skin safety.
NCT05710887
Investigators are conducting this double-blind, randomized control trial (RCT), to compare inhaled N2O+ treatment as usual (TAU) versus inhaled placebo+TAU; demonstrating the feasibility and tolerability of the intervention in an emergency department (ED) setting on an acutely suicidal population.
NCT05725785
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how a digital training platform can enhance implementation and effectiveness of a validated mHealth system, called FOCUS, in people with serious mental illness. The main question this research aims to answer is whether patients obtain similar outcomes to previous FOCUS studies when using FOCUS with clinicians trained on a newly developed digital training platform. Participants will be asked to use the FOCUS smartphone application and receive mobile health coaching from clinicians who have been trained using the digital training platform.
NCT04480918
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of interventional/procedural therapies for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). These treatments include electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), racemic ketamine infusion and intranasal esketamine insufflation. The investigators will obtain various indicators, or biomarkers, of a depressed individuals' state before, during, and/or after these treatments. Such biomarkers include neurobehavioral testing, neuroimaging, electroencephalography, cognitive testing, vocal recordings, epi/genetic testing, and autonomic nervous system measures (i.e. "fight-or-flight" response). The results obtained from this study may provide novel antidepressant treatment response biomarkers, with the future goal of targeting a given treatment to an individual patient ("personalized medicine").
NCT07104916
The goal of this study is to learn how psilocybin delivered with mindfulness-based therapy may help symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This is an assessor-blinded, randomized, controlled study in participants with PTSD. The study will investigate the changes in brain activity, connectivity, and microstructural neuroplasticity assessed using EEG/EMG and multimodal MRI measures after administration of one oral dose of psilocybin, accompanied either with standard "psychological support" only; or with standard support plus Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
NCT07143838
The goal of this pilot study is to determine if non-invasive brain stimulation during sleep can increase deep sleep in adults with depression. It will also determine if increased deep sleep improves cognitive performance and mood ratings. Participants will be asked to wear a non-invasive device that records their brain activity and delivers transcranial electrical stimulation during sleep. Participants will also wear an actigraphy watch that measures activity levels throughout the study. In addition, participants will complete several cognitive assessments and mood and sleep questionnaires throughout the study.
NCT06878859
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a digital intervention for co-occurring cannabis use and depression. Participants will be randomized to complete Amplification of Positivity - Cannabis Use (AMP-C) or symptom tracking. The main outcomes will include changes in depressive symptoms and cannabis use, as well as usability ratings.
NCT07329621
This study is to see how well MSP-2020 attaches to specific targets in the brain called serotonin type 2A receptors (5-HT2AR). This study will also look at how much of the study drug (and its metabolite) is in the blood and how long the study drug stays in the blood, as well as the safety of MSP 2020.
NCT07422519
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a combined Virtual Reality (VR)-based mindfulness intervention and pharmacological treatment compared with pharmacological treatment alone in reducing depressive symptoms in patients with Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD). Secondary questions this study aims to address include: 1. Does the combined intervention lead to changes in inflammatory blood parameters compared with pharmacological treatment alone? 2. Does the addition of a VR-based mindfulness intervention prolong remission of depressive symptoms six months after treatment completion? 3. Is the combined treatment with mindfulness and esketamine well-tolerated, and how does its adverse effect profile compare with esketamine treatment alone? 4. Is there an association between changes in mindfulness trait levels, assessed using the FFMQ-SF, and reductions in depressive symptom severity? Participants will be recruited from a Treatment-Resistant Depression Programme and randomly assigned to receive either VR-based mindfulness intervention in addition to treatment as usual or treatment as usual alone. The mindfulness intervention will last one month and include a total of 8 sessions. All participants will undergo comprehensive assessments at baseline and at predefined follow-up time points to evaluate clinical outcomes, inflammatory markers, tolerability, and remission duration.
NCT05017311
This is a study that will test a predictive biomarker algorithm based on results from a previous study. The goal of this study is to integrate clinical, imaging, EEG, and molecular data across 8 sites to predict treatment outcome for patients experiencing a major depressive episode (MDE).
NCT04041479
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a treatment for depression. The investigators are continuing to learn how to optimize outcomes from rTMS treatment. The purpose of this research project is to use brain network connectivity patterns as measured by resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to confirm a way to optimize the use of rTMS to treat depression. In addition, the study aims to gain a better understanding of how rTMS influences brain networks.
NCT03821506
Background: despite developments a substantial part of patients with depression will only recover slowly. Light therapy from light boxes has shown antidepressant effects but have several limitations: time consuming, only allowing a fixed spectral distribution, only delivered at a specific time-point, and often with inadequate light intensity delivered at the retina. Therefore, we developed a new dynamic lighting system using light fixtures that are built into the room and can change intensity and spectral distribution of light during the 24-hour day. Objectives: the objective of this trial is to assess the beneficial and harmful effects of a newly developed dynamic lighting system using Light Emitting Diodes (LED) -light armatures aiming to mimic sunlight, when installed in the patient rooms of a psychiatric inpatient ward, compared with usual care. Design: the design is a randomised controlled trial with two arms: an active dynamic light trial arm and a usual care arm with blinding of depression outcome, and data analyses. Randomisation will be 1:1. Inclusion criteria: a current episode of a major depressive episode as part of a unipolar or bipolar disorder. Patients with bipolar depression should be in current and recent (minimum two months before admission) mood stabilising treatment, age \> 18 years, informed consent. Exclusion criteria: severe suicidality, abuse of alcohol and / or drugs, actual psychotic state, Young Mania Rating score above 7 or fulfilling diagnostic criteria for a current hypomanic or manic episode. Interventions: the experimental intervention is a dynamic LED-light system in 10 separate patient single rooms with three dynamic lamps: a window jamb built-in light panel, two ceiling mounted lamps, and a wall mounted lamp. The usual care is constant standard LED-light. Primary outcome: score on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 6 item version (HAM-D6) scale at week 3 Secondary outcomes: score on the Suicidal Ideation Attribution Scale (SIDAS ) scale at week 3, and score in the Hamilton. Depression Rating Scale 17 item version (HAM-D17) scale at week 3, and score on the World Health Organisation Quality Of Life questionaire abbreviated version (WHOQOL-BREF) at week 3. Trial size: in total, 150 patients. Time schedule: the trial will be submitted for regulatory approvals January 2019, the first participant will be included April 2019, the expected last follow-up of the last participant will be December 2020, the expected last follow-up after 6 months will be June 2021, data will be analysed from June 2021 till September 2021, manuscripts will be prepared from December 2020, and we expect to submit first manuscript December 2021.
