A Study of SDI-118 in Participants in Remission From Depression
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamics of SDI-118 in a once daily (QD) dosing regimen on male and female study participants reporting with cogntive decline and who in remission from depression.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) [17 days]
Adverse events (AEs) will be coded using medical dictionary for regulatory activities (MedDRA). An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medical product whether or not considered related to the medical product. An AE is considered "serious" if, in the view of either the investigator or sponsor, the event: results in death, is life-threatening, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, results in congenital anomaly or birth defect, requires hospitalization or prolongation to hospitalization, or other medically important event.
- Number of participants with laboratory value abnormalities and/or adverse events (AEs) [17 days]
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values (hematology/chemistry/urinalysis)
- Number of participants with vital sign abnormalities and/or adverse events (AEs) [17 days]
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant vital sign values
- Number of participants with routine 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities and/or Adverse Events (AEs) [17 days]
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant ECG values
- Number of participants with C-SSRS abnormalities and/or Adverse Events (AEs) [17 days]
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant changes in C-SSRS values.
- Number of participants with routine physical examination abnormalities and/or Adverse Events (AEs) [17 days]
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant changes in physical examination.
- Number of participants with Changes in the Cogstate Brief Battery, including abnormalities and/or Adverse Events (AEs) [17 days]
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant changes in the Cogstate Brief Battery values
- Number of participants with Changes in the Digital Symbol Substitution Test, including abnormalities and/or Adverse Events (AEs) [17 days]
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant changes in the DSST values.
- Number of participants with Changes in the Controlled Oral Word Association Test, including abnormalities and/or Adverse Events (AEs) [17 days]
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant changes in the COWAT values.
- Number of participants with Changes in the Category Fluency Test, including abnormalities and/or Adverse Events (AEs) [17 days]
Number of participants with potentially clinically significant changes in the CFT values.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Changes in Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) signal [17 days]
As measured by changes in deoxyhemoglobin levels driven by localized changes in brain blood flow and blood oxygenation in brain networks associated with executive function (working memory), including the prefrontal cortex, the hippocampus, and the associated limbic networks, during performance of the N-Back Tasks
- Changes in Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) signal [17 days]
As measured by changes in processing of emotional stimuli during theperformance of the FEP task.
- Performance measures associated with executive function (working memory) during the N-Back Tasks [17 days]
As measured by both response accuracy and response latency between cue stimulus and detection of this cue in the presented trial stimuli.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria

-
Have not been treated with antidepressants or received other psychotherapy for depression for at least six weeks prior to Screening Visit 1.

Agree not to use herbal medications (including herbal tea, St. John's Wort), within 14 days prior to study agent administration through to the final follow-up visit.
-
Participants must be able and willing to give written, informed consent, indicating that they understand the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study.
-
The participant, in the opinion of the investigator, is willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other requirements, prohibitions and restrictions of the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
