Phase 2: testing Ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) for Critical Illness
Depressive symptoms are common among patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and may adversely affect recovery, participation in care, treatment adherence, quality of life, and outcomes after critical illness. Conventional antidepressants have limited utility for rapidly treating depressive symptoms during an ICU admission because of their delayed onset of action and potential drug interactions in medically complex patients.
Phase 2: researchers already know a roughly safe dose (from phase 1). This stage asks whether the treatment actually helps the condition, and watches side effects more closely.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Ketamine (0.5 mg/kg), or Normal Saline (0.9% NaCl). The registry lists allocation as randomized. Depressive symptoms are common among patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and may adversely affect recovery, participation in care, treatment adherence, quality of life, and outcomes after critical illness.
They plan to enroll about 50 people at 2 sites. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)
Ketamine In Depression - Intensive Care Unit Trial (KID-ICU): A Phase II Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Multicenter Study of Ketamine Infusion for Depressive Symptoms in Intensive Care Unit Patients
Primary outcome (registry wording): Change in PHQ-9 Score from Baseline to Day 14 Post-Last Infusion
Who it is for (from inclusion criteria)
Ages 18 Years to 99 Years
Age 18 to 99 years
Admission to an intensive care unit for 6 or more days at the time of screening
Moderate to severe depressive symptoms, defined as a Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score of 10 or greater at screening
Who the registry excludes
History of psychosis or hallucinations, as assessed by review of the electronic medical record and patient interview during screening
History of prolonged QT interval

Study Description: This study examines relations between neurocognitive and clinical features of pediatric anxiety disorders. The study uses neuro-cognitive tasks, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), as well as magneto- and electro-encephalography (M/EEG).
Background: There are no good treatments for people considering suicide. Researchers want to study suicide with questions, blood tests, brain imaging, and sleep studies.
The specific aims of the study are: Primary: To determine the presence and regional distribution of microglial activation, as assessed by Fluorine-18 (18F) labeled "Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor 06" (PBR06) -PET, in subjects with active Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS), and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) as compared to healthy controls Secondary: 1. To assess the relationship between microglial activation and clinical variables including disease severity and comorbidities (such as pain, fatigue and/or depression), as well as clinical MRI findings (such as lesions and atrophy) 2.
