What this phase means
This study does not use the classic phase 1–4 drug ladder. It may be a device, a behavior program, a surgery timing study, or an early feasibility test.
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 MagVenture TMS Therapy System with Localite Navigation System and actiCHamp EEG. The registry lists allocation as randomized. The purpose of this research is to see if an experimental treatment for depression called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be improved for better results using electroencephalography (EEG) recordings (brain waves) for individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (major depression).
They plan to enroll about 60 people at Rochester. Taking part typically means using or being fitted with a device plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)

Interventions: MagVenture TMS Therapy System with Localite Navigation System and actiCHamp EEG
Primary outcome (registry wording): Feasibility of closed-loop EEG guided iTBS in adult participants with MDD.
