Summary

This trial is testing lumateperone, a medication that may help people with depression who haven't improved with other treatments. The study includes patients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder who haven't responded well to their current antidepressants. Lumateperone works by balancing brain chemicals that affect mood, potentially improving depressive symptoms.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-65 with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who haven't had enough improvement from their current antidepressant treatment. They must have been on a stable dose of certain antidepressants for at least 6 weeks and meet specific criteria indicating moderate to severe depression.
What is being tested?
The study tests Lumateperone as an additional treatment alongside existing antidepressant therapy (ADT) compared to a placebo, in patients with MDD who are not responding well to their current ADT. It's a multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial ensuring neither participants nor researchers know who receives the actual drug or placebo.
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects of Lumateperone in this context aren't detailed here, common ones may include drowsiness, restlessness, nausea, dry mouth and changes in weight or appetite. Side effects can vary widely among individuals.
