Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate that the efficacy and safety of deep brain rTMS, (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) H7-Coil treatment as add on treatment, is as good as the FDA cleared, H1-Coil, in subjects with major depressive disorder that have been previously unsuccessfully treated with antidepressant medications.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, 6 week, double blind, randomized, controlled, multi-center trial. The study will explore the safety and efficacy of deep brain rTMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) H7-Coil treatment and demonstrate that it is as good as the FDA cleared, H1-Coil treatment as add-on for a treatment with antidepressant drugs (a bi-therapeutic treatment ) in subjects with major depressive disorder that have been previously unsuccessfully treated with antidepressant medication.

Approximately 146 subjects will be enrolled in the study. The study population consists of subjects with MDD who have failed adequate medication treatment and who are in a current depressive episode.

The patients will be of all racial, ethnic and gender categories, ranging from 22 to 68 years of age, and have HDRS-21≥20. Outpatients will be recruited from both academic and private research centers.

The study duration is 8 weeks, with a 2 week period of screening and baseline, followed by 4 weeks of 5 daily treatments and 2 weeks of biweekly treatments. Mood and mental state will be carefully monitored through standard psychological scales and assessments during the screening and baseline and throughout treatment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

H1-Coil

Device: Brainsway H1-Coil Deep TMS System. An FDA cleared deep transcranial magnetic stimulation device. The coil is designed to allow deeper brain stimulation in the lateral prefrontal cortex, including the anterior cingulated cortex without a significant increase of electric fields induced in superficial cortical regions.

H7-Coil

Device: Brainsway H7-Coil Deep TMS System. A deep transcranial magnetic stimulation device. The coil is designed to allow deeper brain stimulation in the medial prefrontal cortex, including the anterior cingulated cortex without a significant increase of electric fields induced in superficial cortical regions.
