A Safety Study in Participants With Major Depressive Disorder

Depressive DisorderMajor

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of LY2216684 administered once daily (QD) in the adjunctive treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) for up to approximately 1 year in participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) who are partial responders to their SSRI treatment.

Long-term Bilateral Theta Burst Stimulation for the Treatment of Major Depression

Major Depression

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation has been shown to be moderately effective in the treatment of major depression. Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a new form of rTMS that may exert larger effects. This sham-controlled study examines the effectivity of daily bilateral TBS to the dorsolateral frontal cortex over 6 weeks in 2x16 patients with major depression add on to the local standard of a combined pharmacological/psychotherapeutical treatment.

Antidepressant Adherence Via AD_IVR

Major Depressive Disorder

Antidepressants are the most frequently prescribed class of psycho¬tropic medications and the most common treatment for depression and anxiety disorders-yet patient adherence is poor and is widely viewed as contributing to reduced effectiveness. However, traditionally-delivered adherence promotion programs are complex, staff-intensive, and costly-barriers to wider adoption, implementation, and maintenance of these programs in real-world settings. Our aim is to carry out a trial of a low-cost, IT-enabled Antidepressants adherence program, specifically a direct-to-patient, automated telephone interactive voice recognition (IVR) intervention to boost patient Antidepressants persistence. We will conduct a randomized clinical trial enrolling at least 6,000 Kaiser Permanente NW Region health plan members ages 21 to 75, who had recently started on Antidepressants medications for depression and/or anxiety diagnoses. Participants will be randomized one of four arms;1. a no contact control arm, 2. a treatment as usual (TAU) control condition 3. to TAU plus the IVR automated telephone program and 4. a TAU plus the IVR automated telephone program plus receipt of psycho-education materials about antidepression medication use. Recruitment will continue for up to 18 months, with periodic participant-level follow-up assessment for the intervention participants for 40 weeks. The IVR intervention portion of the program will deliver reminder and/or tardy calls timed to projected Antidepressants refill dates. The intervention also optionally offers brief psycho-education, or transfer to a live pharmacist or the Kaiser mail refill pharmacy. The primary outcome will be the Estimated Level of Persistence with Therapy (continued us of Antidepressants medications). This will be based on prescription refill data abstracted from the Kaiser's electronic medical record (EMR). We hypothesize that participants in the IVR + psycho-education materials study arm will have a significantly higher rate of Antidepressants persistence than those in the TAU control condition ons only IRV call arms. We will also conduct cost-effectiveness analyses to assess the value-for-money (cost per depression free day gained, and cost per quality adjusted life year gained) of the IVR technology compared to TAU. Costs will include IVR development and implementation as well as EMR-derived healthcare utilization data (visits, medications, etc.), augmented with participant report of out-of-plan services.

Effectiveness of Theta-burst Stimulation (TBS) in Patients With Major Depression

Depression

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) as well as Theta- Burst Stimulation of the frontal cortex are used to modulate the neuronal excitability in patients with depression. In the proposed study we investigate whether high frequent rTMS or Theta-Burst Stimulation of the DLPFC is more effective in patients with a depressive episode.

Electroacupuncture Combined With Antidepressants for Post-stroke Depression

DepressionStroke

This is a randomized, assessor-blind, placebo controlled study in post stroke depression patients. Subjects receiving antidepressant drug would be assigned to either active or placebo scalp electro-acupuncture treatment, on the hypothesis that acupuncture intervention combined with antidepressants could produce greater therapeutic effects than antidepressants alone.

Open Pilot Trial of TES for Depression

Major Depression

This study will investigate whether using oscillating TES (random noise stimulation) or intermittent tDCS will have greater antidepressant effects in depressed subjects, compared to standard tDCS.

A Collaborative Care Program to Improve Treatment of Depression and Anxiety Disorders in Cardiac...

DepressionGeneralized Anxiety Disorder1 more

For this trial, the investigators propose a prospective trial of a collaborative care program to identify and treat depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder among patients admitted to the hospital for an acute cardiac illness (acute coronary syndrome, congestive heart failure, or arrhythmia). Such assessment and treatment for depression/generalized anxiety disorder/panic disorder will begin in the hospital, and ongoing management will continue for six months following discharge. The investigators hypothesize that this model will lead to increased treatment rates, improved mood, reduced anxiety, and improved medical outcomes in this vulnerable population. If this model is effective, it could be implemented clinically to provide better and more complete care to patients hospitalized with acute cardiac illness, for whom depression and anxiety may be a risk factor for complications and death. This will be a two-arm, single-blind randomized controlled trial, with one-half of patients randomized to collaborative care and one-half randomized to the control condition (usual care). Psychiatric treatment in the intervention arm will be provided in concert with patients' primary care physicians-with primary care physicians prescribing all medications-within a framework supervised by a psychiatrist. The investigators will enroll patients who have any (or all) of the three included psychiatric diagnoses to improve the utility of the intervention. The investigators have chosen to enroll patients with several different cardiac diagnoses. This will allow the researchers to include patients with heterogeneous diagnoses and illness severity to determine if our intervention is effective in a broad population of patients with heart disease. The investigators will study an intervention targeting depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder: all three disorders are disabling and associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, treatments for the conditions are highly similar, the investigators can treat patients who have more than one disorder, and a prior outpatient program successfully simultaneously addressed more than one mental health condition. The project will involve: (1) screening patients for depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder as part of usual clinical care, (2) evaluation of positive-screen patients by a study social work care manager, (3) a multicomponent in-hospital intervention (for collaborative care patients) that involves patient education, specialist-provided treatment recommendations, and a goal of in-hospital treatment initiation, and (4), after discharge, continued phone-based evaluation and care coordination with primary care physicians to provide stepwise treatment in the collaborative care arm. The intervention has been designed to be low-cost, low-burden, and easily generalizable to other settings.

A Comparison of Cognitive and Dynamic Therapy for Depression in Community Settings

Major Depressive Disorder

The goal of this study is to compare supportive-expressive therapy, a type of psychodynamic psychotherapy, with cognitive therapy for the treatment of depression in community mental health consumers. Hypothesized mediators of treatment will also be examined.
