What it is testing

Summary

This is a prospective observational biomarker study assessing changes in clinical, behavioral, neuroimaging, and neurophysiological measurer following ketamine/esketamine or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in adults with suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

Summary as written by the trial’s own sponsor and published on ClinicalTrials.gov API v2. It is the sponsor’s description, reproduced unedited, not an assessment by this site.

What counts as success

Primary outcome measures

  • Change in Suicidal Ideation Severity

    Measured over Baseline and post-treatment assessment (approximately 2-8 weeks)

  • Change in Functional Brain Connectivity

    Measured over Baseline and post-treatment assessment (approximately 2-8 weeks)

  • Change in Neurophysiological Circuit Activity

    Measured over Baseline and post-treatment assessment (approximately 2-8 weeks)

A trial succeeds or fails on its primary outcome, declared in advance. Everything else it reports is secondary by definition.
