3. DSM-5 defined major depressive disorder (MDD) with a current major depressive episode (MDE) without psychotic features at the time of screening based upon clinical assessment and confirmed by the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.) assessed at Screening

6. Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score > 28 at Screening and before randomization on Day 1
7. Participants must agree to receive pharmacological standard of care treatment to treat their MDD (as determined by the treating physician(s) based on clinical judgement and local treatment guidelines) during the trial duration
8. In the physician's opinion, acute psychiatric hospitalization is clinically warranted to treat the patient’s condition, and the patient is either already in the hospital or agrees to be hospitalized voluntarily for the required per protocol period
