Non-Invasive Brain Imaging Techniques That Predict Antidepressant Responsiveness and Provide Insights Into the Mechanism of Action of Venlafaxine ER vs. Fluoxetine
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Venlafaxine ERT and Fluoxetine for Major Depressive Disorder. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Do functional brain changes occur during Venlafaxine ER (extended release) versus Fluoxetine treatment and do changes in selective structures, such as the amygdala, predict treatment response?

Interventions
Titrated to a minimum dose of 75mg. Further titration based on clinician assessment at followup visits. Intervention to continue through completion of study (180 days). Initial titration: Days 1-7: 37.5 mg; Days 7-14: 75 mg; Days 15-180: 75-300mg based on clinician assessment. Titration rate is a maximum of 75mg/7d.
Titrated to a minimum dose of 20mg. Further titration based on clinician assessment at followup visits. Intervention to continue through completion of study (180 days). Initial titration: Days 1-7: 20mg; Days 7-14: 20mg; Days 15-180: 20-80mg based on clinician assessment. Titration rate is a maximum of 20mg/7d
