Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder, Major"

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) including sertraline have been found to be effective in the treatment of generalized social phobia (GSP). However, virtually all of the current treatment studies with medicines, including the SSRIs, have excluded patients with social phobia who have other co-occurring conditions. In fact, 80% of individuals suffering with primary social phobia have at least one other anxiety. This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of sertraline in the treatment of generalized social phobia with co-occurring anxiety and mood disorders.

Study of efficacy and safety of MIJ821 in addition to comprehensive standard of care on the rapid reduction of symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in subjects who have suicidal ideation with intent

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of escitalopram plus PS128 to escitalopram in the acute treatment of patients with major depressive disorder.

Although antidepressants are the primary treatment for major depression, response and remission rates are unsatisfactory. The primary objective of this study is to identify if adding interpersonal group therapy (IPT-G) to the usual psychopharmacological and clinical management treatment will improve depressive symptoms in major depression outpatients.

This is a study with an Open-Label (OL) phase followed by a randomized, Double-Blind (DB), placebo-controlled phase to assess efficacy and safety of SAGE-217 on relapse prevention in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD).

To assess the safety and tolerability of long-term pimavanserin treatment in subjects with major depressive disorder and inadequate response to antidepressant treatment.

Digital healthcare has developed rapidly to meet demands for accessible healthcare, streamline care and meet future challenges with increasing healthcare needs and reduced labour force in Sweden. Developers and stakeholders in Sweden want to exchange the praxis of phone triage to digital or semi-digital triaging tools, to relieve staff's workload and utilize better resource use that would benefit all patient groups. However, previous studies have showed demographic differences in utilization rate and an increase of simpler care matters when digital healthcare options are offered. Also, little is known of medical accuracy of digital triage tools and of the work environment in digital healthcare. More research is needed on this, as well as on care consumption, care quality and of patients' experiences of digital healthcare. The overall aim of the research project is to study a new digital healthcare platform being introduced in 2021/2022 in the County of Gävleborg, Sweden. The studies will focus on care consumption, healthcare outcomes, care quality and patient safety as well as explore the digital work environment in the digital healthcare platform. Data will be collected before and after the introduction of the digital healthcare platform, using register data and questionnaires. The data from the two time periods will be analyzed with descriptive and inference statistics, to explore if the digital healthcare platform has brought differences on group levels in care consumption, healthcare outcomes, care quality and patient safety as well as in work environment aspects such as the staffs' well-being.

This work will extend and apply methods for modeling heterogeneous treatment effects when multiple studies are available, with a particular focus on the complexities in mental health research. The methods will be illustrated in examples estimating the effects of medical treatments for major depressive disorder (duloxetine and vortioxetine) using 4 randomized controlled trials (available in the Vivli trials resource) and non-experimental data from the Duke University Health System electronic health record and the Johns Hopkins Health System electronic health record systems.

Multicenter, open-label, long-term extended access treatment protocol in adult patients with a primary diagnosis of MDD.

This is a three-center, randomized, double-blind, fixed dose study designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a switch to vilazodone for sexual dysfunction associated with use of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI)compared to switching to sertraline in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Vilazodone is a newly introduced, FDA approved antidepressant that is a combined serotonin specific reuptake inhibitor and serotonin 1A receptor partial agonist. In contrast to the SSRIs and SNRIs, appears to have low adverse effects on sexual functioning when compared to placebo.
