Study on the Effectiveness and Safety of NBI-1065845 for Adults with Major Depressive Disorder

3 1

What is this study about?

This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a new treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), a condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and loss of interest in daily activities. The treatment being tested is a medication called NBI-1065845, which is taken in tablet form. The study will compare the effects of this medication to a placebo to determine its effectiveness and safety when used alongside existing antidepressant treatments.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate how well NBI-1065845 can improve symptoms of depression in individuals with MDD. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the medication or a placebo, and neither the participants nor the researchers will know who is receiving which treatment. The study will last for a total of 56 days, during which participants will continue their current antidepressant medications while taking the study medication or placebo.

Throughout the study, participants will be monitored to assess changes in their depression symptoms using a tool called the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). The study aims to see if there is a significant improvement in depression symptoms by the end of the 56-day period. Additionally, other measures of daily functioning and overall severity of depression will be evaluated to provide a comprehensive understanding of the treatment’s impact.

1 beginning of the trial

Upon joining the study, you will be asked to confirm your understanding and agreement to participate by completing an informed consent form. This ensures that you are aware of the study’s purpose and procedures.

2 initial assessment

You will undergo an initial assessment to confirm your eligibility. This includes a face-to-face evaluation using the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview to confirm a diagnosis of major depressive disorder or persistent depressive disorder.

Your current treatment with oral antidepressants will be reviewed to ensure it meets the study’s criteria. An assessment of your response to these treatments will be conducted using the Massachusetts General Hospital – Antidepressant Treatment Response Questionnaire.

3 baseline measurements

Baseline measurements will be taken, including your score on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 Item, which must be 22 or higher. This will help establish a starting point for evaluating changes during the study.

4 randomization and treatment

You will be randomly assigned to receive either the study medication, NBI-1065845, or a placebo. The medication is in tablet form and is taken orally.

The study medication or placebo will be administered over a period of 56 days. The specific dosage and frequency will be provided by the study team.

5 ongoing assessments

Throughout the study, regular assessments will be conducted to monitor your progress. These include evaluations of your symptoms using the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale and other relevant scales.

Your safety and any side effects will be closely monitored by the study team.

6 end of treatment evaluation

At the end of the 56-day treatment period, a final evaluation will be conducted to assess changes in your symptoms and overall condition.

The primary focus will be on the change in your Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale score from the beginning to the end of the study.

Major Depressive Disorder – Major Depressive Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and a lack of interest in activities once enjoyed. It affects how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working.

Symptoms may include changes in appetite or weight, sleep disturbances, fatigue, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty concentrating, and recurrent thoughts of death. The progression of the disorder can vary, with some individuals experiencing episodes that last for weeks or months, while others may have symptoms that persist for years.
