研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of JNJ-67953964 compared to placebo when administered as adjunctive treatment in participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) partially responsive to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor/ serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SSRI/SNRI) treatment in terms of reduction of symptoms of depression, as assessed by the change from baseline on the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) in non-responders during the placebo lead-in period.

- •Psychostimulants such as methylphenidate or dextroamphetamine within 2 weeks before screening
- •Psychotropics with antidepressant effects such as atomoxetine or thyroid supplementation, in addition to their SSRI or SNRI treatment within 2 weeks before screening

结局指标
主要结局
Change From Treatment Baseline in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Treatment Week 6 in Participants Who Were Non-Responders During Placebo Lead-in Period
时间窗: Treatment Baseline up to Week 6 of DB-treatment period
The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The scale consists of 10 items, each of which is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), summed for a total possible score of 60. Higher scores represent a more severe condition. The MADRS evaluates apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, sleep appetite, concentration, lassitude, inability to feel (interest level), pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
