Depression clinical trials
Directory of U.S. ClinicalTrials.gov public records for Depression. Browse Depression recruiting trials, filter by phase, sponsor, location, or intervention, and open the official ClinicalTrials.gov study record for each result.
By Clinical Trials Finder Guidance last reviewed June 10, 2026 Data synced October 5, 2026 Report an issue
Data is sourced from official ClinicalTrials.gov public API records. Always review the official ClinicalTrials.gov record for the latest information.
These results were retrieved from the live ClinicalTrials.gov registry. Filters and sort order apply to this result list.
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.
These describe how studies tend to be titled and grouped on ClinicalTrials.gov — they are search vocabulary, not medical guidance.
