According to John Hopkins Medicine, treatment resistant depression affects around 30% of the people with major depressive disorder. Young adults and late teens are at a higher risk of developing the condition. As a result, finding effective treatment alternatives is a key area of interest amongst the leading institutes and healthcare companies.

Report Coverage

The treatment resistant depression Drug Pipeline Insight Report by the publisher gives comprehensive insights into treatment resistant depression drugs currently undergoing clinical trials. It covers various aspects related to the details of each of these drugs under development for Treatment resistant depression. The report includes the analysis of over 100 pipeline drugs and 50+ companies. The treatment resistant depression pipeline landscape will include an analysis based on efficacy and safety measure outcomes published for the trials including their adverse effects on patients suffering from treatment resistant depression.

The assessment part will include a detailed analysis of each drug, drug class, clinical studies, phase type, drug type, route of administration and ongoing product development activities related to treatment resistant depression.

Treatment Resistant Depression Drug Pipeline Outlook

Treatment resistant depression is a major depressive disorder, characterized by the ineffectiveness of at least two different antidepressants to improve the state of an individual. Common symptoms include longer and persistent depressive episodes, anxiety, suicidal ideation and behaviour and Anhedonia (reduced ability to experience pleasure).

SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) or SNRIs (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) are the first-line antidepressants used to treat the condition. Moreover, therapies like electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and deep brain stimulation (DBS) can also be advised based on the symptoms and severity of the patient. To manage the condition more effectively, the FDA approved Exxua, a new drug to treat major depressive disorder in adults. An antidepressant that selectively targets the serotonin 1A receptor, this drug does not have any common side effects associated with other medications. Such approvals indicate a robust pipeline for several treatment resistant depression drugs in the coming years.

  • Others
Treatment Resistant Depression - Pipeline Assessment Segmentation, By Phases

The report covers phase I, phase II, phase III, phase IV, and early phase drugs. The coverage includes an in-depth analysis of each drug across these phases. According to analysis, phase II covers a major share of the total clinical trials for treatment resistant depression. There are around 134 drugs in phase II of treatment resistant depression drugs.

Treatment Resistant Depression - Pipeline Assessment Segmentation, By Drug Classes

The drug molecules categories covered under treatment resistant depressionpipeline analysis include atypical antipsychotics, tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), serotonin modulators, mood stabilizers and anticonvulsants. Tricyclic antidepressants such as Amitriptyline, Nortriptyline, and Imipramine are conventional medications. However, they have a higher side effect profile. Ketamine is advised for patients who have not responded to other treatments.

Treatment Resistant Depression- Emerging Drugs Profile

Tianeptine

New York State Psychiatric Institute is evaluating Tianeptine to treat resistant depression. The study is expected to be conducted in two parallel wings, which include the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program at the Icahn School of Medicine and the Stanford Depression Research Clinic at Stanford University School of Medicine (SUSM). The study will enroll around 75 patients who have failed to respond to at least 2 adequate treatment trials.

NV-5138

Sponsored by Navitor Pharmaceuticals Inc., this drug is in Phase 1 of a randomized, two-part, placebo-controlled study. It is under evaluation for its efficacy, tolerability and efficacy against treatment resistant depression.

Minocycline

Currently in Phase 3 of a 12 week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, Minocycline is under evaluation as an add-on treatment for treating patients who have not responded to antidepressant treatment. The study is sponsored by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
