About this study

Official title: Clinical Psychopharmacology Division Institute of Mental Health, Peking University

This study will recruit depressed patients unresponsive to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant treatment, first-degree relatives (parents or siblings) of depressed patients, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease with and without depression, and healthy controls. The subjects need to complete the brain positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance examination, stress assessment, genetic testing, clinical evaluation and neuropsychological tests. Using the data, this study aimed to identify the abnormalities of reward circuit of depression and its differences with other diseases, and its abnormalities in first-degree relatives of depression. The depressed patients who were ineffective in treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressants were then given combined medication with dopamine receptor-mediated drugs, including dopamine transporter inhibitor - bupropion, D2 receptor antagonist - risperidone, or D2 receptor partial agonist - aripiprazole, to examine the regulation of dopamine pathway and its relationship with the therapeutic effect. Through the above work, we will provide new evidence for integrating the biological evidence of dopamine reward pathway into the clinical practice of depression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing risperidone, aripiprazole and bupropion in people with Diagnosis and Treatment of Depression, run by Peking University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ji-Tao Li, MD (010-62723742, ljt_102124@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 May 2017.
