Could a fast, stronger treatment stop depression in its tracks?

NCT ID NCT05973851

Summary

This study is for adults with major depression whose first antidepressant didn't work well enough. It compares two next steps: switching to a different standard pill (usual care) versus quickly adding a stronger treatment, esketamine (a nasal spray or IV infusion), to a pill. The goal is to see if the faster, more intense approach controls depression symptoms better and prevents people from developing harder-to-treat depression.
