26 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
A. Introduction to the Problem This field experiment is intended to explore whether supplemental transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is more effective than standard medication mono-therapy for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is now included in the practice guidelines of the American Psychiatric Association for the treatment of major depression. B. Importance of the Area of Study The safety, efficacy and value of TMS treatment has been established through the four-phase FDA approval process. The evidence of TMS safety and efficacy derives from multiple, peer reviewed, double-blind, randomized, control trials (RCT) with sham control as well as strict enrollment and methodological requirements. TMS is now used in actual clinical practice and there is an opportunity to extend laboratory research and typical, highly controlled field settings to applied settings. This study is designed to gather data on safety, efficacy and utility of TMS as it is used in clinical practice. C. Need for Additional Research Efficacy and safety of these interventions have been scientifically established and meta-analyses of these studies underscore the efficacy and safety of two treatment interventions to be employed in this study: 1) standard medication monotherapy and 2) standard medication therapy supplemented with TMS. However, many authors conclude that depression can be difficult to treat and there is an ongoing need for additional research. Depression remains a major public health problem.
The primary objective of this pragmatic clinical trial (Main Study) was to assess the difference between all-cause hospitalizations in participants using Abilify MyCite versus virtual matched controls. In addition, secondary and exploratory objectives were to assess medication adherence, healthcare utilization and costs, and patient-reported outcomes.
This is a non-randomized, single-case design of pharmacogenetic implementation in a mental health patient population of subjects taking antipsychotics and/or antidepressants.
This study will evaluate the short term effects of respiratory-gated transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation on the regulation of cardiovagal activity, depressive symptomatology and immune function in subjects with major depression and determine the optimal stimulation frequency for this population.
Bipolar I Disorder (BP1)is a severe chronic mood disorder characterized by manic and depression. BP1 has high probability of being misunderstood as unipolar major depressive disorder (MDD). The purpose of this study is to confirm Rapid Mood Screener (RMS) effectively classifies participants with BP1. Rapid Mood Screener (RMS) is a brief 6-item clinician-administered checklist, in which a participant's endorsement of four or more questions should trigger further clinical evaluation for BP1. Approximately 404 participants (303 with confirmed unipolar MDD and 101 with confirmed BP1) will be enrolled in the United States. Participants will be answering RMS questionnaire and accuracy will be measured against Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) interview.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the cortex (brain) to treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Currently established therapy uses one 19-minute treatment session per day for 5 days per week for 6 weeks, for a total of 30 treatment sessions. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an accelerated but shortened TMS dosing regimen for adults with MDD aged 22-85. Participants in this study will be subjected to the same 19-minutes treatment session, but three times on the same day, and only for one day. This will greatly reduce the logistical burden of completing the therapy regime.
PARADIGM (Progressing TAAR-1, Dopamine, and Norepinephrine in Depression Using Solriamfetol) is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial to assess the safety and efficacy of solriamfetol for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults.
A 6-cohort single ascending dose (SAD) study will be conducted in healthy volunteers utilizing a slow-infusion intravenous (IV) route of administration. Standard safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and qEEG monitoring will be evaluated at all dose levels. Subsequently, a 2-cohort multiple ascending dose (MAD) study will be conducted. Doses will be administered on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Standard safety parameters will be monitored, and PK will be evaluated at all dose levels. Finally, a single-cohort group with received a single dose by slow-infusion IV and have PK samples collected from both blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
A Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial of AXS-05 in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
This research proposal aims to better understand the neurobiology of depression in adolescents and how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may therapeutically impact brain function and mood. This study will be the first to use a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled approach to the investigation of rTMS therapy for depressed adolescents. This approach will allow for the validation of rTMS treatment outcomes in the depressed adolescent population in a scientifically rigorous manner. The magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy pattern of rTMS response will be analyzed according to previously established protocols.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of ascending multiple oral doses of brexpiprazole as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of elderly subjects with MDD.
One-third or more of individuals treated for major depressive disorder (MDD) do not experience remission of symptoms despite at least two adequate antidepressant trials. Such treatment-resistant depression (TRD) contributes disproportionately to the tremendous costs of MDD, in terms of health care costs, functional impairment, and diminished quality of life. The promise of personalized medicine for individuals at high risk for TRD is apparent. If these individuals could be recognized early in their disease course, they could be triaged to more intensive or targeted interventions to improve their likelihood of remission. With the proliferation of treatment options in MDD, at present individuals can spend months or years in and out of treatment before receiving these next-step treatments. At present, no clinical or biomarker-based tool has been shown to assist in matching patients with treatments most likely to be effective for them. The Genecept Assay offers the possibility of "Personalized Medicine" in psychiatry. Clinicians may find this additional genetic information can lead to optimized treatment plans for individual patients. Before such an assay can be widely applied clinically, it is necessary to demonstrate that this tool usefully impacts treatment outcomes. This study will examine the potential impact of the assay in terms of depression severity at 3 months, with further follow-up out to 6 months. Secondary measures will allow an estimate of its potential to change clinician behavior and improve patient quality of life. Further measures will also allow for refinement of the assay to maximize patient and clinician satisfaction, and estimate the potential savings associated with deployment of this assay in real-world clinical settings.
This is a two part study. The objective of Part 1 is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of HT-2157 in healthy normal volunteers Part 2 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple (21-day) ascending-dose evaluation of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of HT-2157 in patients with major depressive disorder
This is a 6-week, randomised, multicenter, double-blind, placebo controlled, fixed dose parallel group study to assess the efficacy and safety of orvepitant (30 and 60 mg/day) versus placebo in subjects with a diagnosis of a Major Depressive Disorder, whose symptoms are considered moderate or severe. Following an initial screening visit, subjects fulfilling the study inclusion and exclusion criteria will enter a pre-treatment screening phase to permit evaluation of the laboratory and ECG assessments and to confirm eligibility for inclusion into the study. This screening phase will be a minimum of 7 days, but no longer than 21 days. At the completion of the screening period, eligible subjects will be randomised at the baseline visit to receive either orvepitant 30mg/day, orvepitant 60mg/day or placebo (equal chance of receiving any of the three possible treatments, i.e., a 1:1:1 ratio) for a six-week double-blind treatment phase. Those subjects randomised to receive placebo will receive study medication identical in appearance to that received by subjects assigned to receive orvepitant 30 or 60mg/day. Efficacy will be assessed via standard depression symptom and severity rating scales or questionaires. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) will be used as the primary measure. Secondary efficacy endpoints include the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR) and the Clinical Global Impression- Global Improvement and Severity of Illness Scale (CGI-I and CGI-S, respectively). Safety will be assessed by monitoring for adverse events (side effects) and through periodic laboratory evaluations (blood tests), vital signs assessments (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate, temperature) and heart function measurements (electrocardiograms, or ECGs).

The Biomarkers/Biotypes, Course of Early Psychosis and Specialty Services (BICEPS) study aims to understand the early stages of psychotic disorders like Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, and Bipolar I Disorder. It involves gathering mental health information, brain scans (MRI), eye movement patterns (Eye-Tracking), and brain electrical waves (EEG) data from individuals who have experienced these disorders in recent years. Participants will be involved for about a year, with four visits over this period. Screening procedures, lasting approximately 3 hours, include tests for drug use, a pregnancy test for eligible women, clinical interviews about feelings and experiences, psychiatric and family history interviews, and a medical history review. Research procedures for eligible participants include DNA collection, a neuropsychological test battery, EEG, eye-tracking, and MRI. These procedures will help researchers understand brain function, genetics, and cognitive abilities related to psychotic disorders. Follow-up visits at 1-month, 6-month, and 12-month intervals involve modified clinical interviews and repeating neuropsychological tests to track changes over time. Participants may opt to provide DNA samples for genetic analysis, undergo various cognitive tests, EEG to record brain waves, eye-tracking to monitor eye movements, and MRI scans to visualize brain structure. Follow-up visits at regular intervals will help researchers track changes in symptoms and cognitive function. This study provides comprehensive insight into the onset and progression of psychotic disorders and offers valuable information for patients, families, and healthcare providers involved in managing these conditions. Our goal is to better understand whether a combination of biological markers and different types of people (BT1, BT2, BT3) can help us predict how well individuals with early psychosis respond to specialized care. We expect that those in BT3 will have the best outcomes, BT2 will have intermediate outcomes, and BT1 will have the poorest outcomes. Even though BT1 and BT2 might start with similar cognitive issues, their biology might lead to different responses to treatment. This research can help us understand which treatments work best for different people with early psychosis.
