Researchers are studying whether an investigational medicine, added to the depression medicine a person already takes, can help keep depression symptoms from coming back. People who take part keep their usual depression medicine and also receive either the study medicine or a placebo (a look-alike with no medicine in it). It is a small shot under the skin that participants learn to give themselves. Neither the participant nor the study team knows which one is given. Taking part includes clinic visits, a study diary and questionnaires over about 15 months. The study team at Life Medical Research Group in Miami Gardens will explain everything and answer every question before anyone decides to join. Taking part is voluntary.
