How Depression studies are organized in the registry

Most records use the formal term “major depressive disorder” or MDD rather than “depression” alone, and “treatment-resistant depression” (TRD) labels a distinct, sizable subset. The portfolio includes many behavioral, digital, and device interventions, so the intervention and study-type filters do real work here.

  • 69% of the 329 locally indexed Depression records are currently marked recruiting.
  • The most common phase group in the local index is Not applicable (220 records).
  • The most frequent sponsor is Massachusetts General Hospital (17 records).
  • The most listed study location is New York, New York (26 records).
