The primary objective of this trial is to compare the shortterm efficacy of oral esketamine versus ECT in patients with NTRD.

Non-inferiority is defined as the esketamine arm having no less than 70% of the efficacy of ECT., In this regard, the percentage of relapse, defined as a <30% reduction, in the esketamine relative to the ECT condition after 12 months of maintenance treatment will be determined.
