简要总结

  • Identifying reward-specific alterations in dopamine synthesis (PET) in the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) in patients with MDD compared to healthy volunteers applying the Monetary Incentive Delay Task
  • To assess the effect of two different antidepressant agents (escitalopram, bupropion) on reward consumption and reward-specific NAcc dopamine synthesis rates in patients with MDD in a longitudinal design
  • To assess the relationship between reward-specific NAcc dopamine synthesis and treatment response in MDD

入选标准

  • Male and female subjects aged between 18-65 years of age
  • Healthy subjects: HDRS29 ≤ 8, MADRS ≤ 6 and BDI-II < 13
  • Depressive patients: DSM-IV diagnosis of MDD following SCID I, HDRS29, MADRS and BDI-II
  • Satisfactory general health as determined by past medical history, physical examination, vital signs at screening
  • Vital signs measured after 3 minutes resting in the supine position must be within the following ranges: oral body temperature between 35.0-37.5 °C, systolic blood pressure 90-140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure 50-90 mm Hg, pulse rate 40-100 bpm
  • Subjects must weigh 50-100 kg to participate in this study with a BMI within 19-
  • Sufficient visual and auditory performance for neuropsychological testing
  • Written informed consent will be obtained prior to the start of any study procedures. Therefore, willingness and competence to sign the informed consent form is needed.
  • Potential patients must be able to communicate well with the investigator and comply with the requirements of the study
  • Only participants who are legally authorized to give informed consent will be included in the present study.

排除标准

  • Depressed patients: Presence of any severe / unstable neurological, somatic or psychiatric comorbidity
  • Previous escitalopram- or bupropion intake
  • Antidepressive trials wit DBS, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or Ketamine
  • Current smoking, substance abuse including alcohol, drugs of abuse, or any medication in a manner which is indicative of substance-related disorders (e.g. substance dependency) according to DSM-IV
  • Failure to comply with the study protocol or follow the instructions of the investigators
  • Positive urine pregnancy test
  • Known pregnancy or lactation
  • MRI scan that shows evidence of stroke, infarct, or other space-occupying lesion or structural abnormality
  • History of any other drug or alcohol abuse or misuse
  • Participation in any clinical investigation within 12 weeks prior to dosing
  • Evidence from an Allen test of incomplete communication between the radial and ulnar artery, in either hand
  • Healthy controls: Any psychiatric disease or any severe / unstable neurological or somatic disease
  • Significant radiation exposure (>5 mSv) in the frame of participation in trials within the past 10 years
  • Presence of psychotic symptoms
  • Acute suicidality
  • Any contraindication for magnetic resonance or PET imaging
  • Presence of any metallic implant in the head
  • History of clinically significant drug allergy; history of atopic allergy (asthma, urticaria, eczematous dermatitis). A known hypersensitivity to one of the study drugs or multiple study drugs (known hypersensitivity to bupropion, escitalopram)
  • Other clinically significant abnormality on physical, neurological, or laboratory examination or on electrocardiogram (ECG) that, in the opinion of the investigator precludes the patient from the study
  • Prior therapy with antidepressants or other psychotropic agents (depressed patients: ingestion of antidepressants or other psychotropic agents within the last 6 months)
