Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect and safety of AZD6765 in patients with major depressive disorder who exhibit inadequate response to antidepressants. AZD6765 is a channel blocker of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) class of glutamate receptors.

Recruitment details

This multicenter study was conducted in Chile, Slovakia, South Africa, and the United States between 16 December 2011 and 26 August 2013. A total of 542 patients were enrolled in the study and of these, 302 patients were randomized to treatment. 240 patients were not randomized to treatment due to eligibility criteria not being fulfilled.

Pre-assignment details

The study had a screening/washout period of up to 42 days, a 12-week double blind treatment period, and a 14-day follow-up period. Patients received 3 infusions per week during Weeks 1 to 3,1 infusion per week during Weeks 4 to 6, and 1 infusion every other week during Weeks 7 to 12.

Percentage of Patients Who Were Responders (Defined as a ≥50% Reduction From Baseline in MADRS Total Score) at Week 12

The percentage of patients who were Responders (defined as ≥50% reduction from baseline in MADRS total score) was calculated.

Time frame: Baseline to Week 12

Population: The mITT analysis set included all randomized patients, who took IP and who have a non-missing baseline MADRS total score and at least 1 post-baseline MADRS total score, classified according to their randomized treatment.
