Brief Summary:
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group, fixed-dose study in patients with a primary diagnosis of MDD according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) who have an inadequate response to ongoing ADT.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Major Depressive Disorder Drug: Lumateperone Drug: Placebo Phase 3

Detailed Description:

The study will be conducted in three periods:

  • Screening Period (up to 2 weeks) during which patient eligibility will be assessed.
  • Double-blind Treatment Period (6 weeks) in which all patients will be randomized to receive placebo or lumateperone 42 mg/day in 1:1 ratio.
  • Safety Follow-up Period (1 week) in which all patients will return to the clinic for a safety follow-up visit approximately one week after the last dose of study treatment.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Lumateperone 42 mg Drug: Lumateperone
Lumateperone 42 mg capsules administered orally, once daily

Placebo Comparator: Placebo Drug: Placebo
Matching capsules administered orally, once daily




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale [ Time Frame: Day 43 ]
    The MADRS is a clinician-rated 10 item scale to assess depressive symptoms. Each item is rated on a 7-point scale from 0-6. The total score ranges from 0 to 60 with a higher score indicating increased severity of depressive symptoms.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity [ Time Frame: Day 43 ]
    The CGI-S is a clinician-rated scale to assess a patient's overall mental health. The scale ranges from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).
