Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder, Major"

The researchers in this trial want to learn more about the drug Laif® 900 in preventing the return of signs and symptoms of depressions (also called relapse) in patients suffering from moderate depression episodes. The study drug Laif® 900 is based on Hypericumextract made from the plant St. John wort. Patients will be accepted to take part in the study if they have 20-24 points on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) which is a questionnaire helping the doctor to rate the severity of the depression and includes questions on patient's mood, sleep difficulties, agitation, anxiety and weight loss. About 400 patients will be enrolled into the first part of the study and will be treated for 12 weeks with Laif® 900 capsule once daily. Only patients with an improved HAM-D score by 50% will stay in the study and continue with the second part of the study which will last for 24 weeks. In this second part of the study patients will receive either Laif® 900 capsule once daily or an inactive tablet (placebo). Neither the treating doctor nor the patient will know which patient receives the Laif® 900 or placebo. At the end of the study the researcher will assess the effectiveness of the study drug in prevention relapse of depression episodes and will also have more information on the safety of the study drug.

The purpose of this study is to verify the efficacy and evaluate the safety of 8-week once-daily oral administration of MD-120 in Japanese patients with depression.

SPL026 (N,N-dimethyltryptamine [DMT] fumarate) is a psychedelic tryptamine being developed as a therapy for patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).

Prior to a properly powered randomized controlled study, evaluating efficacy and cost-effectiveness of ICBT, we will conduct a pilot study to investigate if the trial design is feasible, if therapist-guided and self-guided internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) is acceptable for adolescents with depression and to provide preliminary clinical efficacy data.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of LY2216684 on heart rate and blood pressure in research participants with MDD who are being treated with an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). Information about any side effects that may occur will also be collected. The duration of participation in this study is approximately 24 days not including the screening visit. This study requires 1 clinic confinement of 17 days/16 nights and 1 Follow-up Outpatient Visit. A screening visit is required within 30 days prior to the start of the study. In both periods 1 and 2, the study involves 4 single daily doses of 18 mg LY2216684 or placebo taken as 2 tablets by mouth. In period 3, the study involves four single daily doses of 36 mg LY2216684 or placebo taken as 4 tablets by mouth.

To determine the bioequivalence of 2 tablets of 25 mg sustained release (SR) formulation of DVS and 1 tablet of 50 mg SR formulation of DVS under fed and fast conditions. To investigate the effect of high-fat meal on pharmacokinetics of desvenlafaxine after administration of 50 mg SR formulation of DVS.

This study will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of escitalopram (Lexapro) in children 7 to 11 years of age with major depressive disorder (MDD).

The purpose of this study is to determine if TC-5214 or placebo (a tablet that looks like a medicine tablet or capsule, but contains no active medicine) is safe and effective when taken together with another antidepressant.

This study will examine SPD489 in subjects aged 18-65 with major depressive disorder (MDD) who are taking certain types of antidepressants but continue to have residual depression symptoms. Eligible patients will remain on their antidepressant but will be randomized to either receive supplemental SPD489 or placebo (i.e. sugar pill). The purpose of this study is to help answer the following questions: How safe is SPD489 for the supplemental treatment of depression and what are the side effects that might be related to it? Can supplemental SPD489 help patients who still have residual depression symptoms while taking an antidepressant? How much SPD489 should be given to patients with depression who are also taking an antidepressant? How does SPD489 compare to placebo in depressed patients who are also taking an antidepressant?

This is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of venlafaxine ER 75 mg/day (fixed dose) and venlafaxine ER 75 mg/day to 225 mg/day (flexible dose), compared to placebo. This study consists of 2 week screening phase, 8 week treatment phase and 2 week tapering phase. The follow-up visit will be evaluated after 2 weeks of last study medication dosing.
