Effect of Repeated Intravenous Esketamine on Adolescents With Major Depressive Disorder and Suicidal Ideation: A Randomized Active-Placebo-Controlled Trial

This placebo-controlled trial (n=54) investigates the efficacy and safety of esketamine (iv, 17.5mg, 3x) in adolescents suffering from depression (MDD) and suicidal ideation (SI). It shows significant reductions in Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Ideation and Intensity scores and Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores in the esketamine group compared to the midazolam (placebo) group at day six, with maintained antisuicidal and antidepressant responses at four weeks post-treatment.

Short-term cognitive effects of repeated-dose esketamine in adolescents with major depressive disorder and suicidal ideation: a randomized controlled trial

In a randomised controlled trial of 51 adolescents with major depressive disorder and suicidal ideation, three subanaesthetic esketamine infusions (0.25 mg/kg) did not impair cognition and were associated with improved processing speed and some improvement in working memory by Day 12. Baseline cognitive performance did not predict antidepressant or antisuicidal response.
