Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To assess the effect of 3 months riboflavin supplementation with antidepressants (SSRI/SNRI) treatment in patients of Indian origin with major depressive disorder (MDD) on depression severity as assessed by HDRS score.  3 Years 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the expression of the identified proteins/genetic biomarkers levels (BDNF, SLC6A4, HTR1A, HTR1B, IL11) in Indian subjects with MDD (before and after riboflavin intervention) vs. healthy control.  3 Years  
To assess the effect of riboflavin supplementation with antidepressants (SSRI/SNRI) treatment on the oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity) and safety parameters (renal function test, liver function test and complete blood count).  3 Years 
To assess the effect of riboflavin supplementation with antidepressants (SSRI/SNRI) treatment on the quality of life as assessed by HRQoL and social cognition score assessed by SOCRATIS.  3 Years  
To correlate change in treatment response (HDRS score) with the change in identified proteins/genetic biomarkers levels, and oxidative stress.  3 Years

Brief Summary  

This study aims to find out the correlation of treatment response with gene expression and DNA methylation signatures in persons with major depressive disorder and also to investigate the potential of riboflavin supplementation with antidepressants treatment to alter these, which will lead to improved efficacy, tolerability and ultimately better quality of life. This will be a double-blind placebo-controlled trial and will be conducted upon patients with MDD. Patients of MDD diagnosed clinically who have not started /within 15 days of antidepressant treatment will be screened in psychiatry OPD, AIIMS, New Delhi and those meeting the inclusion criteria will be enrolled for the study. They will be randomly assigned into two groups (treatment or placebo group) where the treatment group will receive supplementation of riboflavin and placebo group will receive matching placebo as per the dosing schedule of riboflavin along with the ongoing antidepressants regimen for 3 months. Patients of both groups will be followed up at 3 months of supplementation and all parameters assessed in the baseline will be re-evaluated. Any adverse events during the intervention will be monitored and reported to corresponding authorities.
