Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if CX157 is effective and safe in patients with treatment of treatment resistant depression over six weeks of treatment.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Placebo
  • Drug: CX157 (TriRima)
Phase 2

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of CX157 Modified Release Tablet, 125 mg administered twice per day (BID) as compared to placebo in subjects with Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD). Secondary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CX157 Modified Release Tablet, 125 mg BID in TRD subjects and characterize steady-state pharmacokinetic profile and explore pharmacodynamic relationships.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Severity of illness (CGI-S); [Over six weeks of treatment with study drug.]

      To measure severity of depression

    2. Global Improvement (CGI-I) [Over six weeks of treatment]

      To measure overall improvment.

    3. Hospital Anxiety Depression Rating Scale (HADS) [over six weeks of treatment]

      To measure symptoms of depression
