Long-term follow-up of depression in psychiatric care
Official title: 5 Years Follow-up of the Study: "Pharmacogenetics in Depressed Patients With Specific Focus on Difficult-to-treat Depresssion, Suicide Attempt and CYP2D6"
Run by Region Skane · NCT07078227 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will follow 415 people with difficult-to-treat depression who were previously studied to see how their symptoms and treatment outcomes change over five years.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are people who participated in the original pharmacogenetics study of difficult-to-treat depression and consent to follow-up via medical records and register linkage.
✕Probably not a fit
People who were not part of the original cohort or who do not consent to record access will not be included and therefore will not benefit from this follow-up.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Researchers will re-contact a cohort of 415 patients recruited between 2012 and 2021 who had detailed diagnostic interviews and were genotyped for CYP2D6 and CYP2C19. No new treatments are given; the team will extract clinical data from medical records and national registers for a five-year period after the original participation. Stored blood samples in a biobank allow future biomarker analyses linked to prognosis. The aim is to identify clinical and genetic predictors of long-term course and treatment outcomes in difficult-to-treat depression.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians predict who is more likely to recover or relapse and tailor medication choices based on clinical and genetic markers.
How similar studies have gone: Previous long-term observational cohorts and pharmacogenetic studies have yielded useful, mostly incremental insights into prognosis and medication response but have not produced definitive treatment algorithms.
