About this study

This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled (randomized, parallel group, concealed allocation), double-blinded trial. All depression patients undergoing breast cancer operation will be randomized 1:1 to the treatment intervention with general anesthesia as an adjunct to esketamine or saline. The objective of the trial is to evaluate the postoperative depression、gut microbiota、bispectral index data of patients undergoing breast cancer operation with esketamine or saline.

Read the detailed description

For female patients, breast cancer patients have a high risk of developing depression, and approximately 20%-45% of breast cancer patients suffer from postoperative depression. Esketamine is an anesthetic in analgesia, and has presently become more and more popular for treating anti-depression, particularly for resistant depression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Esketamine and Saline Solution in people with Depression, run by China Medical University, China at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 22 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Montgomery-asberg Depression Rating Scale score (time frame: from baseline to postoperative 24 hours). 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 22 Jul 2024.
