Mechanism of Action Underlying Ketamine's Antidepressant Effects: The AMPA Throughput Theory in Patients With Treatment-Resistant Major Depression
Recruiting
Background:
Most drugs that treat mood disorders take a long time to work. Ketamine works within hours. A dose can last for a week or more. Certain receptors in the brain might help ketamine work. A drug that blocks these receptors might affect how it works.
Objective:
To see if the antidepressant response of ketamine is linked to AMPA receptors.
Eligibility:
Adults ages 18-70 with major depression disorder without psychotic features
Design:
Participants will be screened under protocol 01... Read More

Objective:
Main Study: To study the effects of ketamine in treating depression.
Ketamine Metabolites Substudy: To study how ketamine effects brain chemistry.

Reducing Psychological Barriers to PrEP Persistence Among Pregnant and Postpartum Women in Cape Town, South Africa
Recruiting
Pregnant women in South Africa (SA) are at high risk of HIV acquisition. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use during pregnancy is both safe and effective in preventing HIV. However, posttraumatic stress (associated with intimate partner violence and/or other traumas) and depression negatively impact PrEP adherence among women in SA. Addressing posttraumatic stress and depression will likely improve PrEP adherence and persistence (i.e., sustained PrEP adherence over time) during pregnancy and brea... Read More
