TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Are we repeating mistakes of the past? A review of the evidence for esketamine JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Horowitz, Mark A. A1 - Moncrieff, Joanna SP - 614 EP - 617 VL - 219 IS - 5 N2 - Esketamine has been licensed for 'treatment-resistant depression' in the USA, UK and Europe. Licensing trials did not establish efficacy: two trials were negative, one showed a statistically significant but clinically uncertain effect, and a flawed discontinuation trial was included, against Food and Drug Administration precedent. Safety signals - deaths, including suicides, and bladder damage - were minimised.
