Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and overall safety and tolerability of treatment with adjunctive JNJ-40411813 compared to placebo in patients with MDD with anxiety symptoms being treated with an antidepressant.
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, double-blind (neither physician nor patient knows the treatment that the patient receives), placebo-controlled study in adult patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with anxiety symptoms of relevant severity. The study will consist of 3 phases: a screening phase of up to 2 weeks, an 8-week double-blind treatment phase, and a 2-week post-treatment (follow up) phase. Patients will continue to take the same daily dose of their antidepressant (as directed by the investigator) at the same time of day, from screening through the end of the study, including the post-treatment phase. The total study duration for each patient will be approximately 12 weeks.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The change from baseline to endpoint on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating scale (HAM-A6) score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The HAM-A6 is a 6-item subscale derived from the original Hamilton Anxiety scale (HAM-A). The rating scale measures the severity of anxiety symptomatology. Higher scores represent more severe anxiety symptoms.
Secondary Outcomes
- The change from baseline to endpoint in the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) scale(Baseline, Week 4)
- The change from baseline to endpoint on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS17) total score(Baseline, Week 4)
- The change from baseline to endpoint on the SIGH-A (Structured Interview Guide of the Hamilton Anxiety Scale 14-item HAM-A) total score(Baseline, Week 4)
- The change from baseline to endpoint in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS17) anxiety/somatization factor total score(Baseline, Week 4)
- The change from baseline to endpoint in the HAM-D6 score(Baseline, Week 4)
- The change from baseline to endpoint in the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatolgy -Clinician rated (IDS-C30) total score(Baseline, Week 6)
- The change from baseline to endpoint in the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Clinician-Rated (IDS-C30) anxiety subscale(Baseline, Week 4)
- The change from baseline to Week 4 in the Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ)(Baseline, Week 4)
- The change from baseline to endpoint on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)(Baseline, Week 4)
- The change from baseline to endpoint in the Profile of Moods Scale-Brief Form (POMS-BF)(Baseline, Week 4)
- The change from baseline to endpoint on the Medical Outcomes Study- 12-item Sleep Scale Acute - Revised (MOS Sleep-R)(Baseline, Week 4)
- The number of patients with a Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS17) anxiety/somatization factor score ≥7 at Week 4(Week 4)
- The number and percentage of patients with either ≥50% or ≥30% improvement on the HDRS17 total score at Week 4, and number and percentage of patients with HDRS 17 total score ≤ 7 at week 4(Week 4)
- The number of patients at Week 4 with ≥ 50% improvement on the SIGH-A (Structured Interview Guide of the Hamilton Anxiety Scale 14-item HAM-A) total score(Week 4)
