About this study

In plain language

This study tests how well NBI-1065845 works and how safe it is when added to antidepressants for depression. It compares NBI-1065845 with a placebo, a treatment with no active study drug. It is for people with depression whose symptoms have not improved enough with antidepressants.

The study will evaluate the efficacy of NBI-1065845 compared with placebo as an adjunctive treatment in participants with MDD on improving symptoms of depression.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

  • Your main diagnosis is moderate or severe major depression that has come back, or persistent depressive disorder (long-lasting depression).

  • You score at least 22 on the HAM-D17 depression symptom scale at screening and on Day 1 of the study.

Who can't join

  • In the past year, a mental health condition other than major depression has been the main focus of your treatment.
  • The study doctor believes you are at immediate risk of suicide or of harming yourself or others.
