  • Esketamine has been approved as a complementary treatment for adults with treatment-resistant depression and suicidal thoughts, but its efficacy is modest according to a systematic review and meta-analysis.
  • Out of 1,115 articles reviewed, only 87 were analyzed, showing a weak positive effect on depression at 24 weeks, but no significant impact on suicidality.
  • Concerns about esketamine’s abuse potential, long-term effects, and troubling instances of deaths and suicidality during trials are highlighted, suggesting that caution is necessary in its use.

Meta-Análisis pone de manifiesto que el tamaño de efecto de esketamina como antidepresivo es aprox.=0.2 y NULO para un supuesto efecto antisuicida. La referencia para cierta significación clínica sería 0.5: no llega ni a la mitad del mínimo. #esketamina pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39876682/

New PRISMA review of esketamine's effects on depression has basically pretty disappointing results. "Weak but significant" effects. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39876682/

Esketamin büyük umutlarla tedaviye dirençli depresyonda antidepresanlara ekleme tedavisi olarak onay aldı. Bir kaç gün önce de tek başına da ABD’nde onay aldı. Fakat bu metaanalize göre esketaminin etki büyüklüğü dirençli depresyonda düşük, nüks yüksek ! https://t.co/PL9Xebu70h

MA: A weak positive effect for depression was observed with IN esketamine as an add-on to ADs in TRD (ES range= 0.15–0.23 at weeks 2–4), similar to augmentation with SGAs. The effect size concerning suicidality was not significant at any time point https://t.co/NNdqQmvmjU
