研究概览

简要总结

The study is an open-label pilot study of esketamine nasal spray in patients with treatment-resistant bipolar depression to assess efficacy in global, but most importantly safety and tolerability. At the current stage of drug trials involving re-designation of esketamine nasal spray, this study design is the most appropriate as this may form the base towards a future randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

  • Pregnancy as measured with a blood test at baseline
  • Suicidal to a point where closed admission is needed or the C-SSRS is four or higher

结局指标

主要结局

Efficacy as determined by response and remission rates: response is defined as a 50% or more reduction of the MADRS score. Remission is defined as a MADRS score that falls under ten.

次要结局

  • Tolarability will be determined by dropout rates during the whole study.
  • Safety will be determined by the number of side effects. The potential effect of conversion to mania will be measured by a YMRS of 20 or more points, indicating at least a mild mania. All other psychiatric side effects, such as psychosis and suicidality as well as somatic side effects will be meticulously monitored.
  • Relapse will be monitored and measured by: admission to a psychiatric hospital or ward due to depressive symptoms; a suicide attempt or admission to prevent suicide; an increase in depressive symptoms measured by the MADRS of >25% or above 22 points after initial response or remission following treatment.
