Depression Studies

Depression Study I - Evaluating a TMS Therapy
Do you fell depressed and medication hasn't helped?

• Are you less interested in life than you used to be?
• Have you lost weight when you really weren't trying?
• Do you have trouble sleeping?
• Are you always tired?
• Do you have trouble concentrating?

If this sounds like you, you may be depressed. 

If you're between 22 and 65, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical trial.

Study evalution and medication are provided at no cost to those that meet eligibility requirements.

Depression Study II - Evaluating a Medication for Treating Depression
We are conducting a clinical research study looking at how safe and effective an investigational medication is for treating major depressive disorder (MDD). You may be able to participate in the MAGELLAN Study if you:

1. are 19-65 years of age,
2. have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder,
3. are currently experiencing depression symptoms that have lasted between 4 weeks and 1 year,
4. are willing not to travel across more than three time zones for 8 weeks during the study,
5. are willing to take an investigational medication that is not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

This study will last between 9 and 12 weeks. The study will require seven visits to the study center, so that the study doctors and nurses can monitor your symptoms of MDD and general health. The study medication and medical care related to the study will be provided at no cost to you.
