About Major Depressive Disorder Study

At Revive Research Institute, we are conducting multiple Phase 2 and Phase 3 Major Depressive Disorder Clinical Trials. The purpose of these Clinical Trials is to test out the safety, efficacy, and tolerability of novel treatment options that could potentially help people with their symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder.

Many of our research studies are double-blind and placebo controlled. Such trials compare the study drug with placebo to see how safe and effective it is. Neither you nor the study doctor will know which medication you receive i.e. the study drug or the placebo (without the active ingredient). In the case of an adverse event, the doctor will know which drug you receive.

Males and females who are 18 years or older and, have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder are eligible to enroll in Depression Clinical Trials. The purpose of our multiple MDD Research Studies is to determine the safety and efficacy of the investigational product taken orally. Throughout the trial, the study team will record data on adverse events, clinical laboratory results, ECG findings, and vital signs to evaluate the drug’s tolerability.
