Brief Summary: This study will use pre-treatment positron emission topography and functional magnetic resonance imaging scans of the brain to predict the most effective antidepressant treatment for people with major depressive disorder
Detailed Description: Major depressive disorder MDD is characterized by a combination of symptoms that can interfere with a persons ability to work study sleep eat and enjoy activities that were once pleasurable Studies have shown that as little as 50 to 60 of individuals with MDD may respond to the first antidepressant medication prescribed Currently psychiatrists lack tools that allow them to select the treatment plan that is most likely to benefit a particular individual Some of the chemical abnormalities in the brains of people with MDD are detectable on positron emission topography PET scans There are distinct differences in the PET scans of people with MDD who respond to treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor SSRI people with MDD who do not respond to SSRI treatment and people who do not have MDD This study will use pretreatment PET and functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI scans of the brain to predict which antidepressants will be most effective in people with MDD This may help to reduce the trial and error currently associated with antidepressant treatment

We will perform pretreatment PET scans to quantify serotonin transporter 5-HTT and serotonin 1A 5-HT1A receptor in patients with major depressive disorder MDD All patients will then receive a standardized treatment protocol with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor SSRI escitalopram If the patient does not remit he or she will receive a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor NRI desipramine We hypothesize those patients with high pre and postsynaptic 5-HT1A BP and low 5-HTT BP in specific brain regions will not remit to a SSRI and will remit to a selective NRI Finally we will generate a predictive model of remission based on brain imaging outcome measures Our overall goal is to reduce the trial and error associated with antidepressant treatment by using data from pre-treatment quantification of 5-HT1A receptors and 5-HTT to guide antidepressant treatment selection
