Summary: Antidepressants, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as escitalopram are widely used for mood and anxiety disorders. However, they have also been explored, with promising findings, for a variety of disorders outside of psychiatry. Clinical studies of SSRIs in depressed people with asthma were associated with decreased asthma exacerbations and improvement in asthma co...

Summary: This randomized, single-blind (assessor-blind) controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy of aripiprazole as an augmentation strategy for treating pathological rumination in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Pathological rumination-defined as repetitive, intrusive, and uncontrollable negative thinking-has been identified as a major transdiagnostic risk factor for the developmen...

Summary: Schizophrenia, bipolar and major depressive disorders collectively affect over 10 million people across the EU and are associated with annual healthcare and societal costs in excess of 100 billion Euros. When diagnosed with one of these disorders, patients are prescribed psychotropic medication such as antidepressants, mood stabilisers or antipsychotics. It is unknown whether this first-line treat...

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who exhibit suboptimal early response to antidepressant treatment. Additionally, it sought to investigate the impact of FMT on biological indicators, including intestinal microbiota and metabolites, in individuals with MDD

Summary: An open-label, multi-centre, Phase 2a study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of one and two doses of intranasal BPL-003 combined with psychological support, in patients with treatment resistant depression when administered as monotherapy or as adjunctive therapy with defined SSRIs (citalopram, escitalopram, sertraline or fluoxetine).

Summary: In this project, the investigators will investigate the effects of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), escitalopram, on augmenting language therapy effectiveness, as measured by naming untrained pictures and describing pictures, in individuals with aphasia in the acute and subacute post stroke period (i.e., within three months post stroke).

Summary: Glioma is a cancer of glial cells, a class of tissue supporting neuronal function in the brain. As many as 85% of glioma patients experience cognitive impairment. This is not only from direct tumor involvement, but also from therapy such as cranial radiation and chemotherapy, which degrades neuronal function. There is evidence that serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as escitalop...
