Brief Summary

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

The treatment of resistant depression should be optimized aiming at complete remission of symptoms, a complex condition due to several factors. Approximately 1/3 of patients with depressive disorders do not even respond to available antidepressants. Consequently, new molecules with robust action, fast effects and sustained improvement are currently being researched worldwide. Ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, has emerged as a promising alternative due to its involvement in neurogenesis, synaptogenesis and consequent rapid improvement of depressive and suicidal symptoms with traditional intravenous (IV) use in sub dose (0.5 mg / kg). The therapeutic response of IV use has been short and requires monitoring in a hospital setting. There are no studies evaluating response to long-term ketamine use. Recent research has focused on identifying other routes of ketamine use such as intranasal and intramuscular (IM). The use of ketamine IM, despite the fact that there are few studies and small samples, can demonstrate efficacy in acute treatment and maintenance of depression, as well as low profile of side effects, greater accessibility potential, reduced costs and risks, patient comfort and possible expansion of resistant depression treatment capabilities in different settings.

Detailed Description

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

Compare the response of ketamine IM versus active control in treatment-resistant depression (TRD \[primary outcome\]) and find safety and tolerability of ketamine IM, evaluate changes in life quality, cognition and suicidal risk (secondary outcomes)

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Subjects will receive IM ketamine or IM saline applications as randomized. Applications will occur three times a week. It will be 4 weeks of IM application (12 initial applications). Injections will occur into the subjects' glutes (0.75 mg / kg). The ketamine group will use 2 placebo tablets and the parallel group escitalopram 15 mg and aripiprazole 5 mg. Thereafter, participants will receive weekly ketamine doses over 6 months as maintenance treatment. Research members will be submitted to Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM for diagnostic categorization and will be evaluated from other scales. Vital signs will be checked continuously for a period of 2 hours with each infusion. Patients will be observed in a quiet, comfortable room and subjected to medical monitoring for 2 hours. They will leave the environment in the company of a competent adult.
