Ketamine Infusion for Treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder
N-methyl-D-aspartate Antagonist (Ketamine) Infusion for Treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder With Suicidal Ideation
Ketamine infusion has been shown to have rapid antidepressant properties, however the possible use of ketamine in treatment-resistant depression as augmentation has not been investigated. The overall aim of this study is to assess the feasibility, safety and tolerability, efficacy and duration of the effect of intravenous N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist ketamine as augmentation of antidepressants for chronic suicidal ideation in subjects with severe treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
This is an open-label study (pilot).
