Phase 2: testing Ketamine (0.5 mg/kg) for Critical Illness

Depressive symptoms are common among patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and may adversely affect recovery, participation in care, treatment adherence, quality of life, and outcomes after critical illness. Conventional antidepressants have limited utility for rapidly treating depressive symptoms during an ICU admission because of their delayed onset of action and potential drug interactions in medically complex patients.

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07639359 · Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires · enrollment listed as 50

What this phase means

Phase 2: researchers already know a roughly safe dose (from phase 1). This stage asks whether the treatment actually helps the condition, and watches side effects more closely.

Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
