Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of rapastinel (450 mg IV) versus placebo and rapastinel (225 mg IV) versus placebo in the treatment of MDD, as measured by the change from baseline Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score at end of treatment (end of week 6);Secondary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of rapastinel (450 mg IV) versus placebo and rapastinel (225 mg IV) versus placebo in the treatment of MDD, as measured by the change from baseline MADRS total score at 1 day post-first dose of treatment To evaluate the safety and tolerability of rapastinel (450 mg IV) versus placebo and rapastinel (225 mg IV) versus placebo in the treatment of MDD, as evaluated by adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory measures, electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, and Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS);Primary end point(s): Change from baseline in MADRS total score at the end of the double-blind treatment period (end of Week 6);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 6 weeks of treatment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Key secondary endpoint: Change from baseline in MADRS total score at 1 day after first dose of investigational product (IP) Other: • Change from baseline in MADRS at 7 days after first dose of treatment • Change from baseline in CGI-S at 1 and 7 days after first dose of treatment, and end of treatment • Rate of sustained responders during treatment • Rate of responders at 1 and 7 days after first dose of treatment, and end of treatment (end of Week 6) • Rate of sustained remitters during treatment • Rate of remitters at 1 and 7 days after first dose of treatment, and end of treatment (end of Week 6) • Time to first response • Time to first sustained response • Time to first remission • Time to first sustained remission • Change from baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) at end of treatment ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Key secondary endpoint: Change from baseline in MADRS total score at 1 day after first dose of investigational product (IP) Additional endpoints: At each visit and the final analysis will be done at the end of the study
