A clinical study to test the effectiveness of an investigational drug to treat people that have major depressive episodes when they have Bipolar 1 Depression

Detailed Description

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

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed-dose study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of treatment with SEP-4199 monotherapy given as 200 mg/day or 400 mg/day compared with placebo for the treatment of major depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder (bipolar I depression).

Subjects with a known history of HIV seropositivity will be excluded.

Note: Active medical conditions that are minor or well-controlled are not exclusionary if they do not affect risk to the subject or the study results.

* Subject tests positive for drugs of abuse at screening or baseline. In the event a subject tests positive for cannabinoids (tetrahydrocannabinol), the investigator will evaluate the subject's ability to abstain from cannabis during the study.
