Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of 6 weeks treatment of RO4995819 versus placebo as adjunctive therapy in patients with MDD having inadequate response to ongoing antidepressant treatment based on mean change in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores from baseline to end of treatment. ;Secondary Objective: 1. To investigate the safety and tolerability of RO4995819 2. To evaluate the efficacy of RO4995819 versus placebo, according to other efficacy measures 3. To investigate the PK of RO4995819 4. To investigate exposure-response/safety relationships of RO4995819 5. To investigate dynamic biomarkers of depression and treatment response 6. To investigate the impact of known genetic variants on the safety, PK, PD, and efficacy ;Primary end point(s): Change in the MADRS total score from baseline to end of treatment;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Weekly assessments from baseline to 6 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Endpoints related to other efficacy objectives, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and exposure-response/safety relationships of RO4995819;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Up to weekly assessments from baseline to end of study | — |
