Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen has submitted a new drug application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration seeking to market esketamine, an isomer of ketamine, as a quick-acting antidepressant for patients who have not been helped by existing antidepressant treatments.

Esketamine has already been on market since 1997 as an anesthetic, but it was only available as an injection. The new J&J formulation is a nasal spray.

How do you feel about this?
