What it is testing

Summary

The purpose of this open-label, multicenter study is to assess the long term safety and efficacy of intranasal esketamine plus an oral antidepressant in participants with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).

Summary as written by the trial’s own sponsor and published on ClinicalTrials.gov API v2. It is the sponsor’s description, reproduced unedited, not an assessment by this site.

What counts as success

Primary outcome measures

  • Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Measured over Up to End of Follow up Phase (Week 56)

  • Percentage of Participants With Cystitis, Urinary Tract Infections, Renal and Urinary Tract Symptoms, Renal and Urinary Disorders

    Measured over Up to End of Follow up Phase (Week 56)

  • Change From Baseline in Cognitive Test Battery: Detection Test (DET) Score

    Measured over Baseline (IND) up to the Endpoint (last post-baseline assessment value during 52 weeks of Optimization/Maintenance [OP/MA] Phase)

  • Change From Baseline in Cognitive Test Battery: Identification Test (IDN) Score

    Measured over Baseline (IND) up to the Endpoint (last post-baseline assessment value during 52 weeks of OP/MA Phase)

    Measured over Baseline (IND) up to the Endpoint (last post-baseline assessment value during 52 weeks of OP/MA Phase)

  • Change From Baseline in Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) Score: Recognition Discrimination Index

    Measured over Baseline (IND) up to the Endpoint (last post-baseline assessment value during 52 weeks of OP/MA phase)

A trial succeeds or fails on its primary outcome, declared in advance. Everything else it reports is secondary by definition.
