The CADET Trials
A new series of exciting clinical trials will explore the effect of a commonly used blood pressure medication as a treatment for bipolar and depression. Please share this article with your colleagues, friends and family.
Do you have major depressive disorder? Are you interested in a new potential treatment?
The Aim
There is preclinical and clinical evidence that candesartan may have anti-depressant properties. The Deakin University led trial aims to assess if the commonly prescribed blood pressure medication, candesartan, may help to reduce symptoms of depression in major depressive disorder, in addition to usual treatment. The trial aims to test if candesartan 16mg a day may help to reduce some symptoms of major depression and improve general quality of life.
The Reason
Major depressive disorder may, in part, be caused by inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain. Candesartan, a commonly used blood pressure medication, may help to reduce the inflammation and oxidative stress and restore some neuronal function. Candesartan may be beneficial in reducing symptoms of major depression.
