Research is a vital part of our department! We specialize in innovative, transdisciplinary work. We have several ongoing studies and invite you to read about some of them below. Please contact our research staff for more information. All research studies are completely voluntary.
PSYCHIATRY DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATORS
Psychiatry Department Investigators – led by Francisco Moreno, MD, and his research team – are seeking participants for a research study evaluating RE104, an investigational drug, as a potential new treatment for mental health conditions, including Postpartum Depression.
You may be eligible to join this study if:
- You are a female 18 to 45 years of age
- You had your baby sometime in the last 12 months
- You are experiencing signs of depression
- You have a caretaker who can look after your baby during the Dosing Session and for 24 hours after dosing
This study will compare a single dose treatment of 2 different strengths of RE104, a low dose (1.5 mg) and a high dose (30 mg). The study is split into three parts:
- Screening and Baseline Period: Women who may qualify for and are interested in participating in this study will be asked to visit with study staff for a Screening Visit up to 3 weeks before the Treatment Period.
- Study Treatment/Dosing Session: After all tests are completed and when the Study Doctor determines a participant is ready for dosing, 1 injection of RE104 will be given in the upper arm. The visit will last at least 8 hours after receiving RE104 or until the effects of RE104 have worn off.
- Follow-up: Participants will take part in 7 Follow-up visits which will begin the day after receiving RE104 to monitor health and the effect of the study drug. 4 of these visits will be at the study center and up to 3 may be remote visits by telephone.
