However, personalised treatment targets for depression remain underexplored. This trial aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of iTBS as an additional treatment to a stable antidepressant regimen in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) by modulating brain circuits identified through personalized brain functional sectors compared with sham treatment. This work is a part of the China Study to Predict Optimised Treatment bioMarkers of Individualised Neuromodulation in Depression project.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a multi-centre, double-blind, sham-controlled randomised trial, with a 2:1 allocation ratio to 21 days of active or sham iTBS. A total of 360 eligible participants, diagnosed with current treatment-resistant unipolar major depressive disorder, who have been on a stable antidepressant regimen for at least 4 weeks and are experiencing moderate-to-severe depressive episodes, will be recruited from seven clinical centres in China. The primary outcome is the change in the Montgomery\u2013Asberg Depression Rating Scale immediately following 21-day treatment. Secondary outcomes include response rate and remission rate, change in the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, efficacy sustainability and recurrence within 6 months post-treatment. Additionally, safety, blinding, dropout and potential moderators of response will be examined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Ethics and dissemination<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study has been approved by each centre\u2019s ethics committee, with the first ethical approval granted by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Anding Hospital on 30 December 2022 (approval 2022206FS-2).
