Pivotal Trial

Summary

This trial is testing a new medication called NMRA 335140 to see if it can help people with Major Depressive Disorder feel less depressed. The study involves an initial evaluation and a treatment phase where participants will receive either the medication or an inactive substance. The medication likely works by changing brain chemicals that affect mood.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) confirmed by a clinical interview, experiencing symptoms for more than 4 weeks but less than 12 months. Participants must have a significant level of depression severity and haven't had two or more failed antidepressant treatments for the current episode. Excluded are those with certain other mental disorders, recent substance abuse, or serious suicidal risk.

What is being tested?

The study tests NMRA 335140's impact on depression symptoms against a placebo over six weeks. It's randomized and double-blind, meaning neither participants nor researchers know who gets the real drug or placebo during the study. Those completing this phase may join an extension study.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects aren't specified here but generally could include typical reactions to new psychiatric medications such as nausea, headaches, sleep disturbances, changes in appetite or weight, fatigue, dizziness, and possibly increased anxiety at the start.
