Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This is an open label study involving MDD patients and healthy controls.Patients with a diagnosis of MDD and a current major depressive episode (MDE) will receive open-label standard of care treatment with escitalopram (10-20mg). Healthy controls will not receive medication; however, they will go through clinical assessments, blood collection and neuroimaging procedures.
At week 8, patients will be assessed for medication response (response is defined as ≥ 50% reduction in MADRS scores from baseline). Responders will continue medication at their effective dose until study endpoint while non-responders will receive open label add-on treatment with aripiprazole (2-10mg).
There are approximately 7 clinic visits over a 16 week period during which patients and healthy controls will undergo clinician administered scales and self reports, provide blood and urine samples (which will undergo proteomic and genomic analyses) as well as neuroimaging (fMRI and EEG).
At the end of the study, mathematical modeling methods will be used to integrate the data from the various modalities to see which features best predict treatment outcome.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
escitalopram (10-20mg)
Patients are on escitalopram for 8 weeks. At Week 8, patients will be assessed as 'responders' or 'non-responders'. 'Responders' will continue on escitalopram until study endpoint.
escitalopram
Patients will be given escitalopram for the first 8 weeks of the trial. At week 8, patients who are assessed as 'responders' will continue on escitalopram until study endpoint.
aripiprazole (2-10mg)
At Week 8, patients assessed as 'non-responders' will be given aripiprazole as an add-on treatment to escitalopram.
escitalopram
Patients will be given escitalopram for the first 8 weeks of the trial. At week 8, patients who are assessed as 'responders' will continue on escitalopram until study endpoint.
aripiprazole
At Week 8, patients assessed as 'non-responders' will be given aripiprazole as an add-on treatment to escitalopram.
