Aim: Estimate the cost-per-remitter with esketamine nasal spray plus an oral antidepressant (ESK NS + OAD) versus quetiapine extended release plus an oral antidepressant (QTP XR + OAD) among adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Materials & methods: An Excel-based model was developed to estimate the cost-per-remitter for ESK NS + OAD and QTP XR + OAD from the perspective of a US...

Patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD) experience a greater negative impact on their functioning and productivity at home and in the workplace versus treatment-responsive patients. Here, we report the effects of esketamine nasal spray (NS) versus quetiapine extended release (XR) on functioning, work productivity and activity impairment. ESCAPE‑TRD (NCT04338321) was a 32-week...

In patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD), the ESCAPE-TRD study showed esketamine nasal spray was superior to quetiapine extended release. To determine the robustness of the ESCAPE-TRD results and confirm the superiority of esketamine nasal spray over quetiapine extended release. ESCAPE-TRD was a randomised, open-label, rater-blinded, active-controlled phase IIIb trial. Patients had...

Treatment resistant depression (TRD) affects approximately 10-30% of patients with major depressive disorder, and most patients with TRD do not respond to real-world treatments (RWT). Treatment with esketamine nasal spray (NS) plus a selective serotonin or serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SSRI/SNRI) has significant long-term clinical benefit over RWT in patients with TRD. However,...

BackgroundThe efficacy of esketamine nasal spray (NS) as a rapid-acting agent for treatment resistant depression (TRD) was demonstrated in comparisons with placebo, when both were given in addition to a newly initiated selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)/serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). How esketamine NS compares with commonly used real-world (RW) polypharmacy...

BACKGROUND: In treatment-resistant depression, commonly defined as a lack of response to two or more consecutive treatments during the current depressive episode, the percentage of patients with remission is low and the percentage with relapse is high. The efficacy and safety of esketamine nasal spray as compared with extended-release quetiapine augmentation therapy, both in combination with...

Aims For patients with depression, the likelihood of remission decreases with each subsequent treatment failure. Per European Medicines Agency guidance, treatment resistant depression (TRD) is defined as nonresponse to ≥2 consecutive treatments at adequate dosage and duration in the current depressive episode. In ESCAPE-TRD (NCT04338321), esketamine nasal spray (NS) increased the probability of...
