Treating MDD effectively is considered a key suicide prevention intervention. Yet many patients with MDD do not respond to their initial medication and require a \u2018next-step\u2019. The relationship between next-step treatments and suicidal thoughts and behaviors is uncharted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291723003008_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>The VA Augmentation and Switching Treatments for Depression trial randomized 1522 participants to one of three next-step treatments: Switching to Bupropion, combining with Bupropion, and augmenting with Aripiprazole. In this secondary analysis, features associated with lifetime suicidal ideation (SI) and attempts (SA) at baseline and current SI during treatment were explored.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291723003008_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared to those with SI only, those with lifetime SI + SA were more likely to be female, divorced, or separated, unemployed; and to have experienced more childhood adversity. They had a more severe depressive episode and were more likely to respond to \u2018next-step\u2019 treatment. The prevalence of SI decreased from 46.5% (694\/1492) at baseline to 21.1% (315\/1492) at end-of-treatment. SI during treatment was associated with baseline SI; low positive mental health, more anxiety, greater severity and longer duration of current MDD episode; being male and White; and treatment with S-BUP or C-BUP as compared to A-ARI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291723003008_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>SI declines for most patients during next-step medication treatments. But about 1 in 5 experienced emergent or worsening SI during treatment, so vigilance for suicide risk through the entire 12-week acute treatment period is necessary. Treatment selection may affect the risk of SI.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291723003008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,20]],"date-time":"2023-10-20T08:04:12Z","timestamp":1697789052000},"page":"1172-1183","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effect of next-step antidepressant treatment on suicidal ideation: findings from the VAST-D trial"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3341-9185","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sidney","family":"Zisook","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3826-7160","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christine Yu","family":"Moutier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2004-2382","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.
