Trials for Depression Patients
Procedure
Individualized TMS for Depression
This trial tests aiTBS, a magnetic brain stimulation method, on patients with depression that hasn't responded to other treatments. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to reset brain activity and improve mood. Participants will receive aiTBS either guided by brain scans or by physical measurements of the head. Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) is a newer form of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) that has shown potential for faster and more intense effects in treating depression.
tDCS for Major Depressive Disorder
This trial tests tDCS, a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, on patients with severe depression who haven't responded to multiple treatments. The goal is to see if tDCS can help improve their mood by using a small electrical current to stimulate specific brain areas. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that has been investigated for its potential to treat depression, especially in patients who do not respond well to medication.
Procedure
Theta Burst Stimulation for Adolescent Depression

This trial will test a predictive biomarker algorithm to help predict treatment outcome for patients with major depressive episodes. The algorithm uses data from previous studies on clinical features, imaging, EEG, and molecular information.
Monoclonal Antibodies
Ixekizumab for Treatment-Resistant Depression
This trial tests ixekizumab, a medication that blocks a specific protein, in adults whose depression hasn't improved with other treatments. By reducing inflammation, it may help alleviate their symptoms.
Behavioural Intervention
BHV-7000 for Depression
This trial is testing a new medication called BHV-7000 to see if it is safe and well-tolerated over several months in people with Major Depressive Disorder. The goal is to help those who suffer from severe depression by potentially offering a new treatment option.
Phase 3 Trials
Psychedelic Therapy
Psilocybin for Depression
This trial is testing psilocybin, a substance from mushrooms, to see if it can help adults with depression who may not respond well to current treatments. Psilocybin works by affecting brain chemicals related to mood. Psilocybin has shown promise as a treatment for major depressive disorder and was designated as a breakthrough therapy by the FDA in 2019.
Aticaprant + Antidepressant for Depression
This trial aims to see if aticaprant is effective in preventing the return of depression symptoms when added to antidepressant therapy in individuals with major depressive disorder who have already responded well to aticaprant treatment
Seltorexant for Depression
This trial is testing seltorexant to see if it can help people with depression and insomnia who haven't improved with their current antidepressants. Seltorexant aims to improve mood and sleep by acting on certain brain receptors.
Seltorexant for Depression
This trial is testing seltorexant, a new medication, to help people with depression and sleep problems who haven't improved enough with their current antidepressants. Seltorexant works by blocking a brain receptor to help improve sleep and mood.
Trials With No Placebo
Procedure
Individualized TMS for Depression
This trial tests aiTBS, a magnetic brain stimulation method, on patients with depression that hasn't responded to other treatments. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to reset brain activity and improve mood. Participants will receive aiTBS either guided by brain scans or by physical measurements of the head. Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) is a newer form of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) that has shown potential for faster and more intense effects in treating depression.
Behavioral Intervention
Social-Cognitive Skills Training for Schizophrenia
This trial will adapt an evidence-based social cognitive skills intervention for use with Veterans in a work setting, in order to help them better understand and manage social interactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Introduction to mdd
What are the top hospitals conducting mdd research?
When it comes to advancing the treatment options for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), several hospitals are making significant contributions through their clinical trials. In Orlando, APG Research, LLC is at the forefront with four active MDD trials and a total of five completed trials since they started their pioneering research in 2018. Similarly, Baber Research Group in Naperville has been instrumental in the field, currently conducting four ongoing MDD trials while having accomplished nine previous studies since initiating their first trial back in 2012.
Moving on to Gainesville, Sarkis Clinical Trials continues to play a crucial role with four active MDD trials and an impressive history of twenty-two completed studies since recording their first trial in 2004. Meanwhile, at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda—a renowned medical institution—researchers are also dedicatedly working towards advancements in MDD treatment. They have developed four active clinical trials for this condition and have completed nine previous studies after starting their initial trial back in 2001.
Lastly, Proscience Research Group based out of Culver City may be relatively new to the scene but has wasted no time contributing to MDD research. With three ongoing clinical trials focused on this mental health disorder and already completing three others since recording their first trial just last year (2020), they are quickly establishing themselves as a prominent player within the medical community.
These hospitals' commitment to finding innovative ways to treat Major Depressive Disorder is inspiring not only for patients who suffer from this condition but also for healthcare professionals worldwide seeking effective solutions. Through these collaborative efforts between researchers and participants alike, there is hope that breakthroughs will continue to emerge leading us towards improved treatments and ultimately better outcomes for individuals grappling with MDD.
