Hi.
Is this another Alan Schatzberg investigation? Do you have psychotic depression?
I have bipolar depression. It is my guess that mifepristone is well suited to treat psychotic, melancholic, and bipolar depressions, all of which are known to involve hypercortisolism. I would like to try mifeptistone for myself. The last Schatzberg study that I read about involved the administration of 600mg per day of mifepristone for 8 days. I believe the FDA will allow two administrations per year for open-label trials. You should ask the study team how many times per year they have approval for using mifepristone per individual.
I wish you the best of luck.
