Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify if there are self-reported or objective measures related to mood parameters that can predict near-term relapse (within 1 month or at another identified time point before meeting the criteria for relapse) or early symptomatic changes indicative of relapse prodrome in major depressive disorder (MDD).

Description:

This is a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal, single-cohort, observational study in participants with MDD who have responded to, and are continuing to respond to and receive, an oral antidepressant treatment regimen. The study will consist of 2 parts: a screening phase of up to 2 weeks, and an observational phase of variable duration.
