Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

55 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The patient has a primary diagnosis of recurrent Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with onset before age of 55, diagnosed according to DSM-5®
  • The current major depressive episode (MDE) must be confirmed using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI).
  • The patient has had the current MDE for <6 months.
  • The patient has a Montgomery and Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score ≥26 at the Baseline Visit.
  • The diagnosis of onset of dementia has occurred at least 6 months prior to screening and after already being diagnosed with MDD. The diagnosis of dementia must be documented in patient's medical records. When deemed necessary per investigator judgement of patient clinical status and early dementia, the patient must be accompanied by a caregiver to study visits.
  • Patients with dementia associated with vitamin B12 or folate deficiency should not be enrolled.
  • Patients with or without treatment for dementia can be enrolled. For patients on treatment for dementia, there must be no change in treatment during the study and patients must be on stable dose for at least 3 months prior to the Screening Visit.
  • The patient has Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) total score 20-24, inclusive.

Exclusion Criteria:

-The patient has any current psychiatric disorder or Axis I disorder (DSM-5® criteria), established as the primary diagnosis, other than MDD, as assessed using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) or another diagnostic interview.

Other in- and exclusion criteria may apply

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Montgomery and Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score
Time Frame: from baseline to Week 12
The Montgomery and Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a 10-item rating scale designed to assess the severity of the symptoms in depressive illness and to be sensitive to treatment effects. Symptoms are rated on a 7-point scale from 0 (no symptom) to 6 (severe symptom). The total score of the 10 items ranges from 0 to 60, with higher values indicating worse outcome.
from baseline to Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Digit-Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) Substitution Test (DSST) score
Time Frame: from baseline to Week 12
Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) is a cognitive test designed to assess psychomotor speed of performance requiring visual perception, spatial decision-making, and motor skills. It consists of 133 digits and requires the patient to substitute each digit with a simple symbol in a 90-second period. Each correct symbol is counted, and the total score ranges from 0 (less than normal functioning) to 133 (greater than normal functioning)."
from baseline to Week 12
Change in Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) score
Time Frame: from baseline to Week 12
Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Task (RAVLT) is a cognitive test designed to assess verbal learning and memory, including immediate memory, efficiency of learning, retroactive and proactive interference effects, and encoding versus retrieval. It consists of a number of tasks, including immediate recall and delayed recall. The number of words correctly recalled on each task is recorded.
from baseline to Week 12
Change in Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) score
Time Frame: from baseline to Week 12
The Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) measures an individual's ability to carry out tasks that are important for daily living and capture functional changes. Scores for each question range from 0 (no assistance needed) to 2 (full assistance needed), and are assessed by informant interview. The scores for IADL (0-14) is the outcome, with higher scores indicating lesser ability to carry out daily living tasks
from baseline to Week 12
Change in Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) score
Time Frame: from baseline to Week 12
The Clinical Global Impression severity of illness (CGI-S) provides the clinician's impression of the patient's current state of mental illness. The clinician uses his or her clinical experience of this patient population to rate the severity of the patient's current mental illness on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal - not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).
from baseline to Week 12
Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) score
Time Frame: at Week 12
The Clinical Global Impression - global improvement CGI-I provides the clinician's impression of the patient's improvement (or worsening). The clinician assesses the patient's condition relative to a baseline on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).
at Week 12
Response defined by decrease in MADRS total score
Time Frame: At Week 12
Response is defined as a 50% decrease from baseline in MADRS total score
At Week 12
Remission defined by MADRS score
Time Frame: at Week 12
Remission is defined as MADRS ≤10
at Week 12
Change in Bath Assessment of Subjective Quality of Life in Dementia (BASQID) score
Time Frame: from baseline to Week 12
The BASQID30 is a clinician rating scale designed to assess subjective quality of life (QoL) in patients with dementia. The BASQID contains 14 core questions, which are scored from 0 to 4, with 4 indicating a better QoL.
from baseline to Week 12

For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
