It will take several years before results from this study are available.

Administrator Altostrata Posted January 19, 2013 Administrator Share Posted January 19, 2013 Coincidentally, here’s a pharmaceutical company (Hoffmann-La Roche) recruiting people from the Web (I saw the link on Facebook) for what looks like an antidepressant add-on trial http://www.artdecostudy.com/what-to-expect.htm at a bunch of research centers. This is how far study design has fallen. Might as well recruit people passing by on the street. Will everyone alleging to have major depression be found to have major depression? Hell, yes. (Ironically, the ad resembles the bogus one for the new Soderburgh film Side Effects http://www.tryablixa.com/evaluation/ ) The study is the ARTDeCo study registered at http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01457677 Drug is RO4995819, to be taken for 6 weeks. RO4995819 is an mGluR2/3 antagonist, see http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/mdd/content/article/10168/2090154 The goldmining operation moves to the glutamatergic neurotransmitter system.
