What this phase means
Phase 3: this treatment already looked useful in smaller studies. Now it is tested in a large group, often against standard care or a dummy treatment, to see if it should be approved.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Ketamine, or Oculus VR headset. The registry lists allocation as randomized. Depression is a common condition, with serious negative effects on the health and quality of life of those affected.
They plan to enroll about 31 people at Toronto. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill), using or being fitted with a device plus check-ins.
