RELIANCE-II Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether a new drug, REL-1017, is effective and safe when used to treat Major Depressive Disorder in addition to current antidepressant therapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-65 with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who are currently experiencing a depressive episode and haven't had adequate relief from 1 to 3 antidepressant treatments. Participants must be on stable first-line antidepressant therapy. It's not for those with severe substance abuse, recent opioid use, history of certain brain stimulation therapies, suicidal behavior in the past year, bipolar disorder, psychosis or prior NMDAR antagonist treatment.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests REL-1017 as an add-on treatment for MDD against a placebo. Participants will continue their regular antidepressants and receive either REL-1017 or a placebo daily. The trial aims to see if adding REL-1017 improves depression symptoms more than just the standard treatment alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of REL-1017 aren't listed here, common side effects of similar medications may include dizziness, nausea, headache, sleep disturbances or changes in appetite. Each person's reaction can vary.
