Predicting depression treatment success
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
Researchers are studying what factors help predict how well people respond to depression treatment. By joining, you'll help them learn more about which treatments work best for different people, and you'll receive standard care with a one-month check-in.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder (often called clinical depression).
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You are starting a new treatment for depression (such as medication, combination therapy, or electroconvulsive therapy).
- You can commit to a one-month follow-up visit at the study center.
- You do not have other major psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
- If you are a woman, you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study looks at physical and psychological signs that might help predict how depression develops over time. It's a naturalistic study, meaning researchers observe what happens in usual outpatient care without changing it, to see if certain markers can forecast the course of depression.
This trial uses computer modeling based on brain measurements to try to predict which depression treatment will work for you. It may help match you with the most effective option faster by understanding your motivation-related brain patterns.
This Phase 4 study tests an “optimized” medication approach for adults with major depressive disorder (unipolar depression) based on how you respond over time. It may help your care team choose treatments more effectively and reduce trial-and-error.
This trial studies whether a personalized combination of talk therapy (CBT) and antidepressant medication works better for people with moderate to severe depression. It’s meant to match treatment choices to your situation and to see what helps most.
This study tests a personalized treatment for depression that uses your brain's electrical activity (EEG) to guide therapy. You attend sessions where we monitor your brain's response to help improve your mood.
This study uses a special headband (TD-fNIRS) that measures brain activity to see if it can predict how well different depression treatments work. You would be starting a new treatment for depression (like ketamine, SPRAVATO, TMS, or antidepressants) and wear the headband before and during treatment.
