- The patient has had the current MDE for <12 months.
- The patient has a Montgomery and Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score ≥ 22 and ≤ 28 at the Baseline Visit.
- The patient has been treated with SSRI/SNRI monotherapy (citalopram, escitalopram, paroxetine, duloxetine or venlafaxine) for at least 6 weeks at adequate dose for the current MDE and with an inadequate response and is a candidate for a switch in the investigator's opinion.
- The patient wants to switch antidepressant treatment.
- The patient has an ODQ total score ≥50 at baseline, while on SSRI/SNRI monotherapy (prior to switch).
- The patient answered "Yes "to the screening question on emotional effects.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline to Week 8 in Oxford Depression Questionnaire (ODQ) total score From baseline to Week 8 The ODQ is a patient-centred, self-report measure of emotional symptoms present in patients treated with antidepressants. The ODQ is a 26-item patient self-complete measure, spread over 3 sections and covering 5 dimensions of: not caring (NC), emotional detachment (ED), positive reduction (PR), general reduction (GR), and antidepressant as cause (AC). Response options are based on 5-point Likert scale with a score applied to each response.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline to Week 8 in CGI-S score From baseline to Week 8 The Clinical Global Impression severity of illness (CGI-S) provides the clinician's impression of the patient's current state of mental illness. The clinician uses his or her clinical experience of this patient population to rate the severity of the patient's current mental illness on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal - not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).
Change from baseline to Week 8 in ODQ domain scores (NC, ED, PR, GR, and AC) From baseline to Week 8 The Oxford Depression Questionnaire (ODQ) is a patient-centred, self-report measure of emotional symptoms present in patients treated with antidepressants. The ODQ is a 26-item patient self-complete measure, spread over 3 sections and covering 5 dimensions of: not caring (NC), emotional detachment (ED), positive reduction (PR), general reduction (GR), and antidepressant as cause (AC). Response options are based on 5-point Likert scale with a score applied to each response.
Change from baseline to Week 8 in SDS total scores From baseline to Week 8 Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) measures disability. Total scores are computed by summing scores from all 3 items. Total score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater disability. Reduction in SDS scores therefore indicates better outcome.
Change from baseline to Week 8 in DSST total score From baseline to Week 8 The Digit-Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) is a cognitive test designed to assess psychomotor speed of performance requiring visual perception, spatial decision-making and motor skills. The DSST is sensitive to cognitive impairments affecting attention, processing speed, and executive function (including working memory). The DSST consists of 133 digits and requires the subject to substitute each digit with a simple symbol in a 90-second period. Each correct symbol is counted. The total score is the number of correct symbols and the total score ranges from 0 (less than normal functioning) to 133 (greater than normal functioning).
Change from baseline to Week 8 in SDS individual item scores (family, work, and social life) From baseline to Week 8 Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) measures disability. Total scores are computed by summing scores from all 3 items. Total score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater disability. Reduction in SDS scores therefore indicates better outcome.
CGI-I score at Week 8 at Week 8 The Clinical Global Impression - global improvement CGI-I provides the clinician's impression of the patient's improvement (or worsening). The clinician assesses the patient's condition relative to a baseline on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). In all cases, the assessment should be made independent of whether the rater believes the improvement is drug-related or not.
Change from baseline to Week 8 in MEI total score. From baseline to Week 8 The Motivation and Energy Inventory (MEI) is a 27-item scale initially developed and validated for the purpose of evaluating interventions to improve motivation and energy in patients with depression. The MEI assesses three domains: mental or cognitive energy, social motivation, and physical energy. Scoring Respondents use scales ranging from 0 (indicating that the behavior is never present) to 5 or 6 (a behavior or feeling that is present very frequently or all of the time). Items 3-11, 13-15, 17, and 18 are reverse-scored in order to ensure that higher scores indicate greater levels of motivation and energy. All items use either a 5- or 7-point Likert type response scale.
Change from baseline to Week 8 in MADRS total score From baseline to Week 8 The Montgomery and Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a 10-item rating scale designed to assess the severity of the symptoms in depressive illness and to be sensitive to treatment effects. Symptoms are rated on a 7-point scale from 0 (no symptom) to 6 (severe symptom). The total score of the 10 items ranges from 0 to 60, with higher values indicating worse outcome.
