Active clinical trials for "Depression"

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate whether treatment with (SEROQUEL SR) quetiapine fumarate sustained release (SR) for 9 weeks compared to placebo will improve depressive symptoms in elderly patients with major depressive disorder. PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.

The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to assess the safety and efficacy of PRX-00023 in patients with major depressive disorder.

To assess the initial pharmacokinetic profile of single doses of 25mg and 50 mg of DVS SR to healthy subjects.

This study is evaluating the potential antidepressive effect of a 4 week treatment protocol using the H-coil deep TMS device in bipolar depression.

The primary objective of this research is to pilot test a brief mental heath treatment specifically tailored to meet the needs of chronically ill patients with anxiety and/or depression. Using an open-trial format, the proposed study will examine the feasibility of a brief psychosocial intervention. Primary outcomes will assess intervention effects on patient and clinician rated symptoms of anxiety and depression. If proven feasible and effective among this group of participants, the intervention (due to its brief format and focus on medically ill patient needs) will possess unique characteristics that will increase the ability of medical care settings to implement mental health treatments, and will provide valuable pilot data for the development of a larger research project to determine the efficacy of this intervention among a larger group of chronically ill patients relative to usual care.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of SA4503 compared to placebo in the treatment of subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD). Secondary, to evaluate the safety of SA4503 compared to placebo in subjects with MDD.

This study will investigate the additional benefits of telephone-based cognitive behavioral therapy (Tel-CBT) as added treatment to an antidepressant (escitalopram) in working people with major depressive disorder (MDD) versus treatment with escitalopram alone. Outcomes will include depression symptom rating scales and measures of work absence and productivity. The hypothesis is that Tel-CBT and escitalopram will result in better outcomes than escitalopram alone in working patients with MDD.

This study is seeking to identify the most effective strategy to manage pain, sexual dysfunction, and depression in patients receiving chronic hemodialysis therapy.

Examination of the effect of zinc supplementation on imipramine therapy in major depression.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of mecamylamine (MEC, 10 mg/day) versus placebo in reducing depressive and alcohol symptoms in patients with depression and co-morbid alcohol dependence. The researchers hypothesize that MEC will significantly reduce depressive symptoms and decrease alcohol consumption compared to placebo in patients with depression and alcohol dependence who are on a stable dose of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).
