DEPRESSION

What is depression

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), also known as clinical depression, is a mental health condition that can cause persistent changes in mood, emotions, motivation, and daily functioning. A major depressive episode may affect how a person feels, thinks, sleeps, eats, and interacts with others.

People experiencing MDD may have ongoing feelings of sadness or low mood, reduced interest or pleasure in activities, changes in sleep or appetite, low energy, difficulty concentrating, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, and other changes that can interfere with everyday life.

Major Depressive Disorder can affect people differently, and symptoms may vary in severity. Finding effective treatment options is important because not everyone responds to currently available treatments in the same way.

Current Clinical Trial

Our clinical trial is a Phase 2 clinical research study evaluating an investigational treatment in people with Major Depressive Disorder who are currently experiencing a major depressive episode.

Researchers are studying the safety and effectiveness of the investigational treatment compared with placebo. Approximately 195 people will participate at approximately 35 study sites across North America.

Participation in clinical research helps researchers learn more about potential new treatment approaches and may contribute to the development of future treatment options for people living with Major Depressive Disorder.
