About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ACP-211 can help treat adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have not improved with antidepressant therapy (ADT), including those with treatment resistant depression (TRD).

The main questions the study aims to answer are:

* Does ACP-211 work better than a placebo (a look-alike capsule with no medicine) to reduce symptoms of depression? * What adverse events do participants have when taking ACP-211?

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change From Baseline in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Day 28

The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale that assesses the severity of depressive symptoms. It consists of 10 items, each scored from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (severe symptoms), resulting in a total score range of 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate greater depression severity.

Time frame
Baseline and Day 28

Secondary outcomes

1

Change From Baseline in MADRS Total Score at Day 2

The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale that assesses the severity of depressive symptoms. It consists of 10 items, each scored from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (severe symptoms), resulting in a total score range of 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate greater depression severity.

Time frame
Baseline and Day 2 (24 hours postdose)
2

Change From Baseline in MADRS Total Score at Scheduled Postbaseline Visits

Time frame
Baseline through Day 28
3

Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score at Scheduled Postbaseline Visits

The CGI-S is a clinician-rated assessment of illness severity scored on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill). Higher scores indicate greater illness severity.

Time frame
Baseline through Day 28
4

Proportion of Subjects in Remission at Scheduled Postbaseline Visits (MADRS ≤10)

Time frame
