Implementation of Problem-Solving Treatment in Community Health Centers (PST-Aid)
Although evidence-based clinical interventions (CI) are a preferred treatment option for patients with depression, CIs are rarely available in community primary care settings. When available, CIs are often delivered with poor fidelity and abandoned by practitioners during the initial months post-training. Identifying effective implementation strategies to support the adoption, reach, …
Apimostinel + Automated Neurocognitive Training for Depression
Apimostinel shows initial promise as a novel rapid-acting antidepressant medication with minimal side effects or safety concerns. Cognitive Training (CT) is a digital intervention that has shown promise in extending the durability of another similar drug (ketamine). This randomized controlled trial will test the efficacy and safety of apimostinel (vs. …
A Study of Mianserin in Combination With SSRIs in Depression With Sleep Problems
Patients with depression with sleep problems have functional abnormalities of 5-HT and NE neurotransmitters, and the NaSSA class antidepressant mianserin has an ameliorative effect on sleep problems along with antidepressant. However, whether mianserin can improve cognitive function in patients still needs to be explored. The benzodiazepine lorazepam can play a …
Mechanisms Underlying Antidepressant Effects of Physical Activity

INflammation-based Stratification for Immune-Targeted Augmentation in Major Depressive Disorder
This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in which patients with major depressive disorder will receive augmentation through minocycline (MCO), celecoxib (CXB) or placebo.
A Novel Individualized Connectome-guided Approach for Precision Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation for Depression
The Investigators propose to carry out a randomized, double-blind trial to compare the clinical efficacy of an individualized connectome-guided accelerated iTBS vs an anatomically-guided (Beam F3) accelerated iTBS. The study team will recruit both inpatients and outpatients who had been referred for TMS for the treatment of depression.
DPA-714 and FDG PET/MRI in Depression
Depression, a common psychological disorder, is characterized by persistent low mood, loss of interest, and anhedonia, leading to significant dysfunctions and a high suicide risk. Its pathogenesis remains challenging, with recent focus on neuroinflammation-a chronic immune response in the central nervous system-as a potential contributor. PET imaging, using tracers like …
