The Effect of a Six Week Intensified Pharmacological Treatment for Major Depressive Disorder Compared to Treatment as Usual in Subjects Who Had a First-time Treatment Failure on Their First-line Treatment.
This study is recruiting in the United Kingdom, in Austria, in Germany, .... It focuses on depression.
Key information made simple
This study is looking at whether a digital support tool can help people with depression or Treatment Resistant Depression. Participants receive a study treatment and complete follow-up visits and assessments. Taking part may give some people access to a digital support tool, but direct benefit is not guaranteed.
Your next step
The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including Medical University Innsbruck, Universitätsklinik für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie Bielefeld, and LWL-Klinik Dortmund, Bereich Forschung & Wissenschaft in Dortmund. Participation appears to involve assessments along with scans or samples to help researchers understand patterns more clearly. The main fit is usually being able to understand the study and consent and matching the main diagnosis, while common reasons not to take part include pregnancy or breastfeeding and safety concerns that need urgent care first. This is a later-stage study, which usually means a larger group and a closer look at how well the approach holds up.

Questions about this study
What is this study trying to understand?
This study is exploring digital app or tool for people with depression. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.
Does this study involve a medication?
This appears to be a medication / drug study. The phase is not clearly listed in the public registry. Phase is mostly relevant for medication studies and some device studies. For this study, it may be more useful to look at what is required, the duration, visits, and eligibility criteria.
Who might this study be for?
This study may concern people with depression; age range: From 18 Years to 65 Years. The criteria appear fairly specific, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.
What would I likely need to do?
You may need to take a study treatment and have regular medical follow-up. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.
What side effects, interactions, or treatment changes should I check?
If the study involves a medication, ask whether it is already approved, experimental, or being tested for a new use. Check possible side effects, interactions with current treatment, dose changes, monitoring, and what happens if you feel worse. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.
Will I need to travel or attend in-person visits?
The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.
Who is behind this study?
This study is sponsored by Dr. Inge Winter, which appears to be an individual investigator. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.
Can I still join this study?
The registry indicates that this study is currently recruiting. This does not mean you are eligible: the study team must confirm the criteria, available locations, and next steps.
