Effect of Ketamine on Neurological Activity as Measured by Electroencephalogram (EEG)

November 12, 2024 updated by: Entheon Biomedical Corp.

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).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

21 years to 60 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Inter and intra patient variability in neurological activity.
Time Frame: Up to 74 days
Observation of the the inter and intra patient variability in neurological activity.
Up to 74 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
