1. Safety and tolerability of IV ketamine in adults with major depressive or bipolar disorder: Results from the Canadian rapid treatment center of excellence. Expert Opinion on Drug Safety, 1-10. doi:10.1080/14740338.2020.1776699

“The publications of data as it relates to ketamine treatment at the CRTCE continues to demonstrate the rapid and robust efficacy of ketamine in persons with depression and related disorders,” said Dr. McIntyre, Champignon’s CEO. “Our data, for the first time in the field of psychiatry, shows that ketamine can improve a person’s ability to function in their role and return to work within a few weeks. The significant efficacy of ketamine at our centre is also matched by stable side-effect profiles, as well as the acceptability of ketamine in people who are benefitting from this novel treatment.”

According to Expertscape.com, Dr. McIntyre is the most recognized researcher in the world as it pertains to depression. Dr, McIntyre developed Canada’s first treatment centre providing rapid onset treatments for persons with mood disorders; The Canadian Rapid Treatment Centre of Excellence (CRTCE). With these recent publications, the CRTCE continues to be the leading, integrated center combining expertise in R&D, clinical research and medicine in depression and related disorders.
