Azetukalner for Depression
(X-NOVA-OLE Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
X-NOVA-OLE is a multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of azetukalner as a monotherapy in adult participants who successfully completed an antecedent Phase 3 study of azetukalner in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, since the study is evaluating azetukalner as a monotherapy (treatment using only one drug), it might be likely that you will need to stop other medications. Please consult with the study team for specific guidance.
What safety data exists for Azetukalner (esketamine) in humans?
Esketamine, used for treatment-resistant depression, has been associated with neurological side effects like sedation and dizziness. Safety reporting in clinical trials has been poor, with many adverse events not fully documented in published articles. Patients in a study reported satisfaction with esketamine treatment, but adverse events were consistent with known safety concerns.12345
