Fernández, Department of Medicine, Mental Health Section In a small pilot cohort with treatment-resistant depression, none of the three prespecified baseline connectivity measures showed a statistically significant association with ketamine response. The aim was to test whether baseline functional connectivity measured before the first infusion was associated with the percentage reduction in MADRS scores. Eight consecutive adults with treatment-resistant depression were enrolled (5 men, 3 women; age 40.5 ± 10 years; 6 unipolar, 2 bipolar; MADRS ≥ 20; at least 2 adequate treatment trials with inadequate response or a Hidalgo Mazzei score; psychotic disorders excluded). Pre-infusion resting-state fMRI scans were acquired 15.6 ± 8.7 weeks beforehand on a GE 3T scanner (2D gradient-echo EPI, TR 2.0 to 2.3 s, 200 volumes, voxel size 3.75 x 3.75 x 4 mm, T1 BRAVO); data were processed using SPM12 and CONN, Fisher's z-transformation was applied, intravenous ketamine was administered at 0.5 to 1.0 mg/kg over a mean of 12 infusions, and the analysis used Spearman correlations for each hypothesis, 8! permutations, Benjamini–Hochberg (BH) correction, and a leave-one-out method. The three prespecified hypotheses concerned the global sgACC dissociation index (IDG sgACC), anteroposterior default mode network integrity (MPFC PCC), and connectivity between the right amygdala and right sgACC. MADRS reductions ranged from a 7.7% worsening to a 96.8% improvement (mean 39.7% ± 33.9%). None of the hypotheses reached significance: H1 yielded rho = -0.405 and exact p = 0.327, H2 yielded rho = 0.524 and exact p = 0.197, and H3 yielded rho = 0.310 and exact p = 0.462; for n = 8, the BH thresholds were rho ≥ 0.833 / 0.786 / 0.738, whereas the highest observed value was 0.524. H2 showed the largest effect, with a consistent sign across all leave-one-out analyses; H1 was in the opposite direction to that predicted, and H3 depended on a single case. The authors state that the study demonstrates the feasibility of implementing a predefined, reproducible workflow in the public sector, that the findings are hypothesis-generating, and that anteroposterior default mode network integrity (rho = 0.52) was identified as the primary hypothesis for a prospectively powered replication study; the main limitations are the small sample, single-arm design, absence of post-treatment scans, and acquisition heterogeneity.
