During the double blind treatment period (6 weeks), participants will take 1 capsule of cariprazine 1.5mg, orally, per day for two weeks in addition to their ongoing ADT (Same antidepressant and dose of ADT they were on at the Visit 2 baseline). They will then titrate to Cariprazine 3 mg, orally per day, in addition to their ADT starting at Visit 4 (Week 2).

Drug: Cariprazine
Cariprazine supplied in capsules

Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Total score change from baseline to Week 6 in the MADRS (Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale) [6 Weeks]

    The MADRS is a 10-item, clinician-rated scale that evaluates the patient's depressive symptomatology during the past week. Patients are rated on items assessing feelings of sadness, lassitude, pessimism, inner tension, suicidality, reduced sleep or appetite, difficulty in concentration, and lack of interest. Each item is scored on a 7-point scale with a score of 0 reflecting no symptoms and a score of 6 reflecting symptoms of maximum severity.
