| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of seltorexant compared with quetiapine XR as adjunctive therapy to an antidepressant drug in treatment response in participants with MDDIS who have had an inadequate response to current antidepressant therapy with an SSRI or SNRI.;Secondary Objective: To assess the change in weight with seltorexant compared with quetiapine XR as adjunctive therapy to an SSRI or SNRI. To assess the efficacy of seltorexant compared with quetiapine XR as adjunctive therapy to an SSRI or SNRI on the following: • Delaying time to potentially treatment related discontinuations • Symptoms of depression • Symptoms of depression by subscales ?Core symptoms of depression ?Without Sleep Item • Patient-reported symptoms of depression • Remission of depressive symptoms • Response and mild or better symptoms of MDD • Clinically relevant weight gain;Primary end point(s): Difference in proportions of responders (=50% improvement in MADRS total score from baseline) at Week 26 for seltorexant vs quetiapine XR.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 26 | — |
