Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NRX-1074 following a single intravenous dose in subjects with major depressive disorder.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

NRX-1074 is a N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor functional partial agonist with efficacy in animal models of affective disorders including major depressive disorder. The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of NRX-1074 at dose levels that are predicted by comparison of human and animal pharmacokinetics to be efficacious.
