Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. The patient experiences a = 25% decrease in the rater-administered MADRS total score between Screening (Visit 1) and Baseline (Visit 2); 2. In the opinion of the Investigator, the patient has a significant risk for suicidal behavior during the course of his/her participation in the study or a. At Screening, the patient scores “yes” on Items 4 or 5 in the Suicidal Ideation section of the C-SSRS with reference to a 6-month period prior to screening; or b. At Screening, the patient has had 1 or more suicidal attempts with reference to a 2-year period prior to screening; or c.

Design outcomes
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): The key secondary efficacy endpoint is the change from baseline to Day 43 in CGI-S score. The additional secondary efficacy endpoints are: • The proportion of patients who are treatment responders where response is defined as a = 50% decrease from baseline in MADRS total score at Day 43; • The proportion of remitters where remission is defined as a MADRS total score = 12 at Day 43; • By-visit mean changes from baseline in the MADRS total score; • By-visit mean changes from baseline in CGI-S score; • Change from baseline in MADRS individual item scores at each assessment time point, including Day 43.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: As listed above. | — |

| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to confirm the efficacy of lumateperone 42 mg administered orally once daily compared with that of placebo as measured by mean change from baseline to Day 43 in the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score in patients with bipolar depression with mixed features or MDD with mixed features.;Secondary Objective: Key Secondary Objective: The key secondary objective of this study is to confirm the efficacy of lumateperone 42 mg administered orally once daily compared with that of placebo as measured by mean change from baseline to Day 43 in Clinical Global Impression Scale–Severity (CGI-S) score in patients with bipolar depression with mixed features or MDD with mixed features Safety Objective: The safety objective of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of lumateperone administered orally once daily compared with that of placebo in patients with bipolar depression and MDD as assessed by adverse events (AEs); clinical laboratory results; vital sign measures; electrocardiogram (ECG) results; suicidality as assessed by the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS); manic symptoms as assessed by the YMRS; and extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) as assessed by Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS), and Simpson Angus Scale (SAS) scales;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is the change from baseline to Day 43 in MADRS total score.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: baseline to Day 43 | — |
