Abstract

Aim: There is limited real-world evidence for patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) receiving esketamine nasal spray. Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data collected from a psychiatric clinic's EHR system. Results: A total of 171 TRD patients received esketamine July 2019–June 2021. This predominantly female, white population had several mental health comorbidities and high exposure to psychiatric medications. We observed significant reductions (p < 0.001) in average PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores from baseline (PHQ-9: mean: 16.7; SD: 5.8; GAD-7: mean: 12.0; SD: 5.8) to last available treatment (PHQ-9: mean: 12.0; SD: 6.4; GAD-7: mean: 8.7; SD: 5.6). There were no reports of serious adverse events. Conclusion: This study found a significant disease burden for patients with TRD. Esketamine appears to be well tolerated and effective in improving depression and anxiety.
