简要总结

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Lu AA21004, once daily (QD), on cognitive dysfunction in patients with major depressive disorder.

详细描述

Lu AA21004 is under codevelopment by Takeda Global Research & Development Center, Inc. and H. Lundbeck A/S for the treatment of MDD.

This study will consist of a screening period within 10 days of the Baseline Visit followed by an 8-week double-blind treatment period and a one-week taper down period.

  • The participant has any other disorder for which the treatment takes priority over treatment of MDD or is likely to interfere with study treatment or impair treatment compliance.

  • The participant is diagnosed with reading disability (dyslexia).
  • The participant has a significant risk of suicide according to the investigator's clinical judgment or has a score ≥5 on item 10 (suicidal thoughts) of the MADRS or has made a suicide attempt in the previous 6 months.

  • The participant has initiated formal cognitive or behavioral therapy, systemic psychotherapy within less than 6 months of study screening, or has plans to initiate such therapy during the study.
  • The participant has received electroconvulsive therapy, vagal nerve stimulation, or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation within 6 months prior to Screening.
  • The current depressive symptoms are considered by the investigator to have been resistant to 2 adequate antidepressant treatments of at least 6 weeks duration each at the recommended dose.
  • The participant has a history of moderate or severe head trauma (for example, loss of consciousness for more than 1 hour) or other neurological disorders or systemic medical diseases that are, in the opinion of the investigator, likely to affect central nervous system functioning.
  • The participant has a previous history of cancer that had been in remission for less than 5 years prior to the first dose of investigational drug. This criterion does not include those participants with basal cell or stage I squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
  • The participant has a clinically significant unstable illness, for example, hepatic impairment or renal insufficiency, or cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological, rheumatologic, immunologic, infectious, skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders, or metabolic disturbance.
  • Note: For the purposes of this protocol, the following conditions are considered unstable due to the potential impact on assessment of MDD response and/or cognitive status: pain disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, obstructive sleep apnea, and known cases of HIV, HBV, and HCV
  • The participant has a known history of or currently has increased intraocular pressure or is at risk of acute narrow-angle glaucoma.

For subjects who are on thyroid hormone replacement therapy, a lower TSH with normal T4, are eligible to participate in the study only if there are no clinical symptoms of hypothyroidism .

结局指标

主要结局

Change From Baseline to Week 8 in the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST)

时间窗: Baseline and Week 8

The DSST assesses relative contributions of speed, memory, executive function and visual scanning. Participants are required to copy symbols that are paired with simple geometric shapes or numbers within a specific time for a total possible score of 0 to 133. Higher scores-correct number of symbols reflects greater objective cognitive functioning. An increase in score represents an improvement in an integrated measure of cognitive function. An Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model was used with treatment and center as fixed factors and the Baseline value as a covariate.
