Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for people with depression who haven't responded to other treatments. It's a double-blind study, which means that neither the patients nor the researchers will know who's receiving the real drug or the placebo.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-65 with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) not adequately responding to current antidepressants can join. They must have moderate depression severity and been in their current depressive episode for 8 weeks to 18 months. Excluded are those with other major psychiatric disorders, significant suicide risk, or a substantial improvement in symptoms just before the trial starts.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing Lumateperone as an add-on treatment compared to a placebo in patients already on antidepressant therapy. It's a multicenter trial where participants are randomly assigned to either the drug or placebo group without knowing which one they receive.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of Lumateperone aren't listed here, similar medications often cause drowsiness, dizziness, stomach upset, weight changes, and sometimes more serious side effects like mood swings or allergic reactions.
