This is a two-part (open-label followed by double-blind) study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of SAGE-217 in 102 participants diagnosed with moderate to severe Major Depressive Disorder.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), is considered the most effective treatment for severe treatment resistant major depressive disorder (MDD), but it requires about 3 weeks of treatments and can cause considerable acute deficits in memory. It would be a major advance in treatment if ECT could work faster with fewer treatments and result in decrease incidence of memory problems. Ketamine is an excellent candidate for augmentation of ECT because of its acute effects on depression, its short half-life, and its safety profile when given at low doses. Ketamine is given as an infusion and could easily be incorporated into the routine management of patients undergoing ECT, but has never been evaluated prospectively in this context. The investigators propose to assess the efficacy, feasibility, tolerability and safety of N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist augmentation of ECT using ketamine.
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether AZD6765 has an effect on the patient's depression when taken together with current depression medication. In addition, information will be gathered on how well AZD6765 is tolerated, investigate the levels of AZD6765 and the levels of the current depression medication in the blood. In addition, the research staff will determine if AZD6765 has any mood or calming effects (how you feel).

This study is designed to look at the effects of naltrexone on weight loss in individuals treated with antipsychotic medications. Naltrexone is an FDA approved medication for the management of alcohol dependence and drug dependence, but has not been fully evaluated for its effect on weight loss in individuals with severe mental illness (i.e. schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder etc.) The purpose of this study is to find out how effective two different doses of oral naltrexone is on reducing body weight when compared to placebo (an inactive substance or "sugar pill").
The overarching purpose of this pilot study is to collect preliminary data regarding the variability of weight gain associated with lurasidone (Latuda©) treatment of antipsychotic naive children and adolescents in order to inform decisions about including a lurasidone arm in a future large scale trial of different approaches to minimize antipsychotic associated weight gain in the pediatric population. In adults, lurasidone appears to cause minimal weight gain. The participants will be 6-19 years old with psychotic spectrum, mood spectrum, or autism spectrum disorders. They will have 4 weeks or less of lifetime antipsychotic exposure.

Participants will complete 36 iTBS treatments in an accelerated schedule over five days. They will also complete several clinical assessments throughout their enrollment to evaluate their depressive symptoms and response to treatment.
The purpose of this research is to learn more about a new treatment for individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with heightened symptoms of anhedonia (i.e. loss of pleasure or interest in activities). The treatment is called Prism, and it is a software device intended for a novel form of neurofeedback training to be used in a clinic setting. During this study, the subject will use different techniques to measure brain activities, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG).
The REACH-tDCS study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a noninvasive, at-home self-administered Sooma tDCS brain stimulation treatment for Major Depressive Disorder. The study uses randomized, blinded, placebo controlled design. The participants are assessed with video interviews and self-reports during the study, which lasts for 10 weeks followed by an optional continuation period.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is common and causes significant disability world-wide. While typically responsive to medications and therapy, there remain a subset of patients who are treatment resistant. Novel approaches are critical to treat these patients. MDD is likely caused by dysfunction in distributed neural networks, a perspective consistent with the etiological and diagnostic heterogeneity of this disorder. While imaging and electroencephalography (EEG) have helped identify MDD circuitry, no consensus has been reached on the identification of diagnostic biomarkers. Furthermore, the dynamics of MDD circuitry in relation to symptom severity is unknown. Characterization of circuit signatures that define MDD symptom severity states and the extent to which these circuits are modifiable using electrical stimulation are critical for therapeutic advancement. Intracranial EEG (iEEG) offers a high spatial and temporal resolution method to study depression networks. For the first time, we have an unparalleled opportunity to study such circuits in MDD patients participating in a clinical trial of personalized responsive neurostimulation for treatment resistant depression (PRESIDIO). In stage 1 of this trial, participants are implanted with 160 electrodes from 10 sub-chronic intracranial leads across 10 brain sites for 10 days. The goal of this parent study stage is to optimize brain-site targeting for deep brain stimulation. In the current project, we will leverage the opportunity to study MDD circuit principles from cortical and deep brain structures over a multi-day time period. In this ancillary study to the parent clinical trial, we carry out a set of experiments that establish basic principles of network dynamics underlying MDD from direct neural recordings. This study is organized around the principal concept that brain circuit dysfunction is reflected in abnormal signatures of functional connectivity and rhythmic local-field activity. This concept is supported by our pilot work where we found evidence of distinct MDD networks characterized by functional connectivity and spectral activity. This project builds on our preliminary findings in two aims. In Aim 1, we characterize state-dependent functional connectivity and spectral activity in relation to symptom severity. In Aim 2, we will examine the manner and time course in which targeted electrical stimulation acutely modifies circuits. Together, this research will yield the first characterization of connectivity and activity dynamics in MDD over a multi-day period from direct neural recordings. This rare insight into MDD circuity provided by this novel dataset establishes proof-of-concept principles for biomarker development and therapeutic target selection that could critically advance personalized MDD treatments.

The main goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the active study drug (code name: SP-624) has any effect on the electrical activity of the brain in adult healthy volunteers and in adults with major depression. Another goal of the study is to learn if SP-624 improves memory and learning in adults with major depression. The study will also provide additional information on the safety of SP-624 and how well it is tolerated in adult healthy volunteers and adults with major depression. Researchers will compare SP-624 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if SP-624 has any effect on study tests. Study participants will: Take capsules of study drug (SP-624 or a placebo) once daily for 2 weeks; visit the clinic at Screening, Day 1 (first dose of study drug), and Day 15 (last dose of study drug) for checkups and tests; and have phone call check-ups on Day 7 and about 1 week after the last dose of study drug.
