Brief summary

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and efficacy of a single injection of MIJ821 in addition to standard of care (SoC) pharmacological anti-depressant treatment in participants with treatment-resistant depression (TRD)

Detailed description

The trial included a screening period of up to 28 days. On Day 1, after screening, eligible participants were randomized to one of the treatment arms (1 mg, 4 mg, or 10 mg of MIJ821) or placebo and received study treatment administered as a single subcutaneous injection. Participants remained at the clinic for at least 4 hours after administration of study treatment for safety observation including assessment of local tolerability by visual inspection of the injection area. Post-dose clinic visits occurred 24 hours post dose (Day 2), Days 8, 15, 22 and 29 to evaluate efficacy and safety. Efficacy assessments included the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Scale (MADRS) and other clinical outcome assessments (COAs). Safety assessments included laboratory tests, ECGs, vital signs and physical examinations. In addition, phone calls were conducted 3 days after each on-site clinic visit with the exception of the End-of-study (EOS) visit. EOS visit was completed on site on Day 29. Including screening, participants were in the study for up to 8 weeks (57 days).

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score 24 Hours (Day 2) After InjectionBaseline and 24 hours after SC injectionThe Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS, SIGMA version), is a clinician rated scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The test consists of 10 items, each of which is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total possible score of 0 - 60. Higher scores represent a more severe condition. The MADRS evaluates apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, sleep, appetite, concentration, lassitude, interest level, pessimistic thoughts and suicidal thoughts. The MADRS scores were collected electronically by qualified personnel.

Comparison: MCP-Mod was used to check if there was a DR relationship between the change from baseline to 24 hours in MADRS total score and the doses received. The Least squares means under the primary estimand were used to test the null hypothesis of a flat DR relationship at a one-sided significance level of 5% against the alternative hypothesis of a non-flat DR curve. Six candidate DR curves were used to derive the optimal model contrasts for the multiple contrast tests. A monotone DR was assumed.p-value: 0.0242Multiple contrast test

Pharmacokinetics (PK) of MIJ821 in Plasma for Area Under the Curve From the Time of Dosing to the Time of the Last Measurable Concentration (AUClast)

Blood samples were collected at the indicated time points for PK analysis. AUClast was defined as the area under the curve from time zero to the last measurable concentration sampling time (tlast).

Time frame: Baseline, 0.17 hour, 0.33 hour, 0.5 hour, 0.75 hour, 1, 1.5, 2, 4 and 24 hours post injection

Population: The PK analysis set included all participants with at least one available, valid PK concentration measurement, who received any study drug and with no protocol deviations that had an impact on PK data.

PK of MIJ821 in Plasma for Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax)

Blood samples were collected at the indicated time points for PK analysis. Cmax was defined as the maximum (peak) observed plasma drug concentration after single dose administration.

Time frame: Baseline, 0.17 hour, 0.33 hour, 0.5 hour, 0.75 hour, 1, 1.5, 2, 4 and 24 hours post injection

Population: The PK analysis set included all participants with at least one available, valid PK concentration measurement, who received any study drug and with no protocol deviations that had an impact on PK data.

PK of MIJ821 in Plasma for Time to Maximum Drug Concentration (Tmax)

Blood samples were collected at the indicated time points for PK analysis. Tmax was defined as the time to reach maximum (peak) plasma drug concentration after single dose administration (time).

Time frame: Baseline, 0.17 hour, 0.33 hour, 0.5 hour, 0.75 hour, 1, 1.5, 2, 4 and 24 hours post injection

Population: The PK analysis set included all participants with at least one available, valid PK concentration measurement, who received any study drug and with no protocol deviations that had an impact on PK data.
