Banned antidepressant tested as last hope for severe depression

NCT ID NCT04249596

Summary

This study tested tianeptine, an antidepressant used in other countries but not approved in the US, for people with major depression that hasn't improved after trying at least two other standard treatments. Participants took the medication for 8 weeks while researchers measured changes in their depression symptoms. The study also aimed to understand how the drug works in the brain and identify which patients might benefit most from this different type of treatment.
