简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an oxytocin ad-on, or oxytocin and tibolone ad-on can induce a response to antidepressants in patients with treatment resistant depression.
详细描述
We are examining the efficacy and safety of oxytocin or oxytocin and tibolone with an antidepressant (SSRIs) in treatment resistant depression in a double-blind randomized clinical trial.
A secondary objective is the evaluation of neurobiological factors contributing to drug efficacy in treatment resistant depression.
