Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder, Major"

The investigators purpose is to follow remitted patients from their previous study using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS); as to verify whether this treatment prevents relapse.

A multicenter, 8-week study to evaluate the efficacy of 2 doses (50 and 100 mg/day) of desvenlafaxine succinate sustained-release (DVS SR) versus placebo in adult outpatients with major depressive disorder.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a Deep Shaped-Field repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (DSF-rTMS) system in the treatment of depression.

This pilot study seeks to replicate previous findings that sleep deprivation results in marked improvement in depression symptoms, as well as to test whether concurrent treatment with Light Therapy and Lithium are successful in locking in and maintaining therapeutic effects in both bipolar and unipolar depressed subjects.

An outpatient study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cariprazine as adjunct to antidepressant therapy (ADT) in participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have an inadequate response to ADT alone. This clinical study compared cariprazine + ADT with placebo + ADT in outpatients with a diagnosis of MDD and an inadequate response to ADT. The study consisted of approximately 2 weeks of screening and washout followed by 8 weeks of double-blind treatment followed by a 1 week safety follow-up.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2 fixed dose levels of vilazodone compared to placebo in patients with major depressive disorder.

Iloperidone is an atypical antipsychotic drug, FDA-approved for the acute treatment of schizophrenia in adults in 2009 (Marino et al., 2010); moreover, some of its pharmacological features seem to be very promising in treating symptoms like anger and anxiety (Fava et al., 1997; Wang et al., 2010). The investigators therefore feel that an adequately sized, well powered, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, cross-over study of iloperidone augmentation of SSRIs among MDD outpatients in partial remission with residual anger and irritability is warranted at this point to evaluate its efficacy, safety and tolerability on residual anger, irritability and depressive symptoms. Main hypothesis: Adults with MDD in partial remission, who are experiencing residual symptoms of anger and irritability, assigned to treatment with iloperidone will demonstrate a significantly greater reduction in the total score of the Anger/Hostility Scale of the Symptom Questionnaire from baseline to endpoint than those assigned to placebo using the cross-over design.

Lurasidone HCl is a compound that is a candidate for the treatment of major depressive with mixed features.This clinical study is designed to test how well Lurasidone works to treat major depressive disorder with mixed features over time.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Korean Red Ginseng are effective in the treatment of the residual symptoms of depression as an adjuvant treatment.

The purpose of this study is to predict and visualize sertraline treatment response in major depressive disorder with clinical symptoms, demographic and stress state, personality, eight genetic polymorphisms at baseline.
