Magnesium Bisglycinate in Major Depressive Disorder (DReAM-BiG)

3. Juni 2026 aktualisiert von: RITUPARNA MAITI, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar

Efficacy and Safety of Add-on Magnesium Bisglycinate in Major Depressive Disorder: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Depression is a common illness that can affect a person's mood, sleep, energy, ability to work, and overall quality of life. While medicines are available to treat depression, many people do not get complete relief from their symptoms. This study will evaluate whether adding a magnesium supplement in the form of magnesium bisglycinate to regular antidepressant treatment can help improve symptoms of depression. Adults with depression who are already receiving treatment will be randomly assigned to receive either magnesium bisglycinate or a placebo (an inactive substance) along with their usual medication. The study will compare the two groups to see whether the supplement leads to greater improvement in symptoms, sleep, and day-to-day functioning. Information on any side effects will also be collected. The findings may help determine whether magnesium bisglycinate can be used as a safe and affordable additional treatment for people with depression.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

The DREAM-BiG (Depression REsponse to Adjunctive Magnesium-BisGlycinate) study is a single-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm academic clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive magnesium bisglycinate in adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) receiving stable standard-of-care antidepressant therapy. The study will be conducted in the Departments of Pharmacology and Psychiatry at AIIMS Bhubaneswar. Eligible participants will be men and women aged 18-65 years with a DSM-5 diagnosis of MDD and mild-to-severe depressive symptoms, defined by a baseline Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score of ≥7, who are receiving a stable dose of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). Following written informed consent, participants will undergo detailed clinical evaluation, anthropometric assessment, and baseline measurement of clinical and biochemical parameters. A total of 84 participants will be randomization using computer-generated block randomization with a block size of six and a 2:1 allocation ratio favoring the intervention arm. Allocation concealment will be ensured through sequentially numbered, identical-appearing capsule containers, and participants, treating psychiatrists, outcome assessors, and investigators will remain blinded to treatment allocation throughout the study. Participants in the intervention group will receive magnesium bisglycinate capsules providing 220 mg elemental magnesium daily, while those in the control group will receive matching placebo capsules containing microcrystalline cellulose; both interventions will be administered as add-on therapy for 8 weeks alongside ongoing antidepressant treatment. Clinical assessments will be conducted at baseline and Week 8 using validated rating scales, including MADRS for depressive symptoms, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) for anxiety, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) for sleep-related outcomes, and Clinical Global Impression scales (CGI-S and CGI-I) for overall clinical status. Blood samples will be collected at baseline and follow-up for estimation of serum magnesium, glycine, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Treatment-emergent adverse events will be actively monitored throughout the study, with severity and causality assessed using standardized pharmacovigilance tools. Statistical analyses will compare changes from baseline to Week 8 between study groups, with change in MADRS score serving as the primary efficacy endpoint.

Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Change in Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) score
Zeitfenster: Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) is a clinician-administered instrument used to assess the severity of anxiety symptoms. It consists of 14 items, each scored from 0 (absent) to 4 (very severe), yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 56, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety severity. HAM-A scores are commonly interpreted as <17 (mild anxiety), 18-24 (mild-to-moderate anxiety), 25-30 (moderate-to-severe anxiety), and >30 (severe anxiety).
Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
Change in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score
Zeitfenster: Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a validated self-administered questionnaire used to assess sleep quality and sleep disturbances over the previous month. It consists of 19 items that generate seven component scores, which are summed to produce a global score ranging from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating poorer sleep quality. A global PSQI score of ≤5 is generally considered indicative of good sleep quality, whereas a score >5 suggests clinically significant sleep disturbance or poor sleep quality.
Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
Change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score
Zeitfenster: Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a self-administered questionnaire used to measure a person's general level of daytime sleepiness and the likelihood of falling asleep in common daily situations. It consists of 8 items, each scored from 0 (would never doze) to 3 (high chance of dozing), resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater daytime sleepiness. ESS scores are commonly interpreted as 0-10 (normal daytime sleepiness), 11-12 (mild excessive daytime sleepiness), 13-15 (moderate excessive daytime sleepiness), and 16-24 (severe excessive daytime sleepiness).
Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
Change in Clinical Global Impression Severity (CGI-S) score
Zeitfenster: Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
The Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) scale is a clinician-rated instrument used to assess the overall severity of a patient's illness at a specific point in time. It consists of a single item scored on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients), with higher scores indicating greater illness severity. CGI-S scores are commonly interpreted as 1 (normal), 2 (borderline ill), 3 (mildly ill), 4 (moderately ill), 5 (markedly ill), 6 (severely ill), and 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).
Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
Clinical Global Impression Improvement (CGI-I)
Zeitfenster: Week 8
The Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) scale is a clinician-rated instrument used to assess the degree of change in a patient's clinical condition relative to baseline following treatment. It consists of a single item scored on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse), with lower scores indicating greater clinical improvement. CGI-I scores are interpreted as 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), 3 (minimally improved), 4 (no change), 5 (minimally worse), 6 (much worse), and 7 (very much worse).
Week 8
Change in serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
Zeitfenster: Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
Serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) will be estimated as a biomarker of neuroplasticity and neuronal function. Blood samples collected at baseline and Week 8 will be processed to obtain serum, and BDNF concentrations will be quantified using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
Change in serum magnesium
Zeitfenster: Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
Serum magnesium concentration will be estimated as a biochemical marker of magnesium status. Blood samples collected at baseline and Week 8 will be processed to obtain serum, and magnesium levels will be measured using an autoanalyzer.
Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
Change in serum glycine
Zeitfenster: Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
Blood samples collected at baseline and Week 8 will be processed to obtain serum, and glycine levels will be quantified using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Baseline (week 0) and follow-up (week 8)
Incidence of Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
Zeitfenster: week 4 and week 8
During the telephonic interview at 4 weeks or the follow-up visit at 8 weeks, patients can directly contact the investigators to report any adverse events they experience. Whether previously known or not, all adverse events will be recorded with their descriptions, intensities, durations, actions taken, and outcomes. Treatment-emergent adverse events will be evaluated and managed according to severity using the Hartwig-Siegel scale. Causality assessment will be done for adverse drug reactions by using the WHO-UMC system.
