Brief summary

The study is a phase II, double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled, parallel, multicentric study in 110 patients with drug resistant depression.

Detailed description

This is a phase II, versus placebo, multicentre, double blind, randomized, parallel study in male or female patients with drug resistant depression. This study targets the antidepressant non-responders' patients who have already experienced at least 2 antidepressant treatments with no success. It is estimated that about 2/3 of the patients treated with antidepressant drugs do not respond partially or completely to the actual conventional treatments (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor and Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor). 110 patients with drug resistant depression episode, aged 18 to 80 will be included in the study. They will be recruited from psychiatric consultations in the centers participating to the study.

Intervention model description

There are 3 groups : * Placebo group will receive placebo during 42 days with antidepressant treatment in add-on. * Dose 1 during 42 days with antidepressant treatment in add-on. Upon IDMC recommendation after the first futility analysis (IDMC#5 13-Jun-2022), Dose 1 was stopped from the 17-Jun-2022. * Dose 2 during 42 days with antidepressant treatment in add-on.
