Methadone and Ketamine for Spinal Surgery
Completed
Patients undergoing major spinal surgery continue to experience moderate-to-severe pain during the first 2-3 days following the operative procedure. Several factors contribute to postoperative pain in this patient population. Many patients present to surgery dependent on relatively high doses of oral opioids; this daily administration leads to tolerance to the effects of these drugs as well as hyperalgesia (exposure to opioids makes subsequent pain worse). In addition, surgical procedures on the... Read More

Etomidate Versus Ketamine for Emergency Endotracheal Intubation: a Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial
Completed
Patients who are having problems breathing sometimes require placement of a breathing tube in their mouth and windpipe. The purpose of this breathing tube is to save the patient's life. It is common to give the patient a medication to sedate him or her before the breathing tube is placed. For patients who are gravely ill two medications are commonly used: etomidate or ketamine. Both medications have risks and benefits. Researchers at UT-Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Memorial Hospital... Read More

Proof of Concept Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of MIJ821 in Patients With Treatment-resistant Depression
Completed
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the compound MIJ821 compared to placebo in patients aged from 18 to 65 years diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression. The study was conducted in the US and in Europe (Spain). The MIJ821 was administered via infusion on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. The efficacy was measured after 24 hours using a specific golden standard scale, the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale. The study duration was 6 weeks of treatment plus 1 month of follow up... Read More

Bubiket Study: Ultrasound Guided Fascia Iliaca Nerve Block With Bupivacaine and Adjuvant Ketamine vs. Bupivacaine Alone
Withdrawn
The project is meant to evaluate the effect of a combination of medications (Bupivacaine + Ketamine) used in an ultra-sound guided nerve block for patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with hip and/or femur fractures. The goal is to see whether the combination of these two medications will result in greater and longer-lasting pain relief, longer-lasting motor and sensory block and overall less need for opioid rescue analgesia.

Ketamine/Placebo Family History Positive Study
Completed
The proposed study is the first to explore the contribution of brain glutamate systems, a major target of ethanol in the brain, to the vulnerability to develop alcoholism. This study may lead to an enhanced understanding of the underlying neurobiological mechanism in high-risk individuals that may lead to the transition from moderate to excessive use of alcohol.

Intranasal (NAS) Ketamine for Cancer Pain
Completed
The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety, feasibility, and utility of intranasal (NAS) ketamine in persistent uncontrolled cancer related pain. In this prospective clinical trial the researchers will investigate the use of NAS ketamine in patients with pain related to cancer or cancer treatment. The researchers plan to enroll at least 25 patients meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria, to achieve a minimum of 10 patients who complete the study. Participants will be recruited from... Read More
