Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study will enroll up to 354 eligible patients. An interim analysis is planned after 240 evaluable subjects complete the 8-week's visit. According to the interim analysis plan, the sample size may be increased to 522.
To participate in the study the subjects must be at least 18 years old and able to give a written informed consent after an oral and written explanation of the study aims and methods. The study sample will include female and male patients with major depression diagnosis according to DSM-5 and MINI criteria. For the detailed assessment of clinical severity of specific disorder and treatment effects, the following disorder-specific rating scales will be used: Montgomery-Asberg's Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Clinical Global Impression scale (CGI), , Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Patient's Global Impression (PGI). Patients will be randomized into either the Predictix Guided Treatment (PGT) group or the Treatment as Usual (TAU) group. Randomization will be stratified based on the number of previous treatment failures for the current MDD episode to ensure balance of the treatment groups. Patients will be prospectively treated with approved antidepressant medication for a period of 8 weeks (defined as a treatment cycle) during and after which they will be assessed, and treatment success or failure will be determined. Maximum desired up-titration should be reached by week 2. Concomitant treatments that are permitted include: benzodiazepines for those who had no previous hypnotic treatment - Zolpidem 10 mg at night or for anxiety -no more than 10 mg/day Diazepam or equivalent; formal psychotherapy not started within a month before the beginning of the study; non-psychopharmacologic drugs with CNS effects if the patient has been receiving a stable dose of the drug for at least one month before baseline.
Patients will be defined as responders if the decrease in MADRS scores is at least 50% compared to baseline. The remitters will be defined if the scores are less than 10 on the MADRS. Patients who do not meet these criteria will be defined as non-responders and non-remitters respectively. Following the 8 weeks, patients in the TAU group will be offered PGT in an open-label extension of the study. Patients in the TAU and PGT groups will be followed for up to an additional 2 treatment cycles (of up to 8 weeks each).
A treatment cycle will include 4 visits: Screening, Baseline (on site visit), 4 and 8 weeks (Telephone visits). At least one completed cycle per patient is required for a patient to be included in the analysis as study completed.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
