Pivotal Trial
Summary
This trial is testing whether minocycline, an antibiotic, can help people with treatment-resistant depression who haven't been helped by other medications.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-80 with non-psychotic major depressive disorder (MDD) who haven't responded to standard antidepressants. Participants must have a certain level of depression severity and be stable on their current medication dose. Women of childbearing age should use effective birth control, and all participants must be able to follow the study schedule.
What is being tested?
The trial tests if minocycline can help people with treatment-resistant depression when added to usual treatments. It's a double-blind study, meaning neither doctors nor patients know who gets minocycline or placebo. Assessments include depression scales and quality of life measures over 12 weeks, starting at a low dose that increases after two weeks.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from minocycline may include dizziness, fatigue, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea, changes in skin color, sun sensitivity, tooth discoloration in children but less likely in adults due to permanent teeth being formed already.
