Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of MK-1942 When Added to Stable Antidepressant Therapy in Participants With Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) (MK-1942-006) (NCT NCT04663321)
NCT ID: NCT04663321
Last Updated: 2024-09-19
Results Overview
The change from baseline in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score is presented. MADRS includes 10 participant-rated items, each scored on a scale from 0 (normal, no symptom) to 6 (symptoms of maximum severity) \[total scores range from 0 (normal/no symptom) to 60 (severe depression). Higher scores correspond to greater symptom severity, whereas a negative change from baseline score indicates improvement.

MK-1942 Daily Dose Group
Participants receive a total daily dose titrated from 5 mg to 20 mg of MK-1942 twice daily (BID), orally, over 4 weeks of treatment duration: 5 mg in Week 1, 10 mg in Week 2, and 20 mg in Weeks 3 and 4. Participants receive MK-1942 and matching placebo packaged in blister cards with an equal number of capsules administered in the morning and evening regardless of treatment assignment.

MK-1942 Intermittent Dose Group
Participants receive a total daily dose of 10 mg of MK-1942 twice weekly (BIW), orally, for Weeks 1-4. Participants receive MK-1942 and matching placebo packaged in blister cards with an equal number of capsules administered in the morning and evening regardless of treatment assignment.
|
Placebo
Participants receive a dose-matched placebo BID, orally, for 4 weeks. Participants receive matching placebo packaged in blister cards with an equal number of capsules administered in the morning and evening regardless of treatment assignment.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Baseline and Week 3Population: All randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study intervention, have ≥1 post-treatment and -randomization endpoint observation, and have baseline data available are included.
The HAM-D17 scale was used to evaluate the depressive symptoms experienced over the past week. The HAM-D17 is a 17-item participant-rated scale, with each item scored from 0 to 2 or 4 (depending on the question) reflective of severity (0 is absence of symptom and higher scores indicate greater symptom severity). The total score ranges from 0 (no apparent symptoms) to 52 (most severe symptoms). A negative change from baseline indicates symptom improvement, and vice versa.
