Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of brexpiprazole (2.0 mg/day) as adjunctive therapy in adult subjects with a diagnosis of MDD with and without anxious distress

Clinical Trial Description

The introduction of atypical antipsychotics has created a renewed interest in adjunctive therapy for MDD, particularly for treatment-resistant MDD. Several atypical antipsychotics have been shown to enhance the response to ADT. This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, fixed-dose trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of brexpiprazole (2.0 mg/day) as adjunctive therapy to an assigned open-label ADT in depressed subjects with and without anxious distress. ;
