Trial summary

This observational study will allow data to be collected to demonstrate changes in brain activity following administration of standard of care (SOC) Ketamine. By comparing genetic markers across participants, data on impact of genetic markers and response to Ketamine will also be analysed. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Ketamine on Neurological Activity as Measured by Quantitative EEG

This observational study will allow data to be collected to demonstrate changes in brain activity following administration of standard of care (SOC) Ketamine. By comparing genetic markers across participants, data on impact of genetic markers and response to Ketamine will also be analysed. This data will contribute to the design of future studies utilizing Ketamine for various psychiatric disorders. This study will focus on treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

Read the detailed description

This is an Open Label Observational Study with the primary objective to assess brain activity in patients prior to, during and after Ketamine treatment and to assess genetic markers prior to Ketamine treatment. This is a non-interventional study that will observe the Electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern of participants who, per standard of care, are treated with intramuscular Ketamine. The administration of the Ketamine during this study is not considered investigational. The experimental intervention, measurements via EEG, will be offered to patients of the study site presenting for intramuscular (IM) ketamine treatment per the site's established and evidence-based protocol as part of their regular clinical care. Participants in this study have already been determined to have a medically appropriate indication for IM Ketamine treatment, independent of enrollment in this study. Given the requirement, per study protocol, to wear an EEG headset and complete study measures, participants will be compensated by having treatment costs paid by the study sponsor. There will be 36 participants enrolled at one study site.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Treatment-resistant Depression, run by Entheon Biomedical Corp. at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 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 United States. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Business decision to stop enrollment after 1 participant completed the study. Will not be reopening.). Results are not available in the source record.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Inter and intra patient variability in neurological activity. (time frame: Up to 74 days). 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 14 Nov 2024.
