Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Aticaprant as Adjunctive Therapy in Adult Participants With Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) With Moderate-to-severe Anhedonia and Inadequate Response to Current Antidepressant Therapy (NCT NCT05455684)

NCT ID: NCT05455684

Last Updated: 2025-11-06

Results Overview

The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale designed to measure depression severity and detect changes due to antidepressant treatment. The scale consists of 10 items (apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts), each of which is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of symptoms). MADRS total score is the sum of scores from individual question items, which ranges from 0 to 60; higher scores represent a more severe condition. Negative change in MADRS total score indicates improvement.

Participant Flow

Adult participants aged 18 to 64 years who had major depressive disorder (MDD) with or without moderate-to-severe anhedonia (ANH+ or ANH-) and elderly participants aged 65 to 74 years with MDD (ANH+ and ANH-) who had an inadequate response to an ongoing antidepressant therapy were randomized in the study.

Placebo
During DB treatment phase, participants received placebo matching to aticaprant tablet orally once daily from Day 1 to Day 42 in addition to the ongoing antidepressant therapy (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor/serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor \[SSRI/SNRI\]). Participants were then followed up for safety up to 7 to 14 days after end of DB phase at Day 43 (up to Day 57). Participants who completed the DB phase (at Day 43) and were compliant to the study intervention were eligible to participate in a separate 52-week open-label long-term safety study 67953964MDD3003 (NCT05518149).
Aticaprant 10 mg

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1) to Day 43

Population: Full analysis set (ANH+) included all adult randomized participants with MDD ANH+ who received at least 1 dose of study intervention. Here, 'N' (overall number of participants analyzed) signifies number of participants evaluable for this outcome measure.

The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale designed to measure depression severity and detect changes due to antidepressant treatment. The scale consists of 10 items (apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts), each of which is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of symptoms). MADRS total score is the sum of scores from individual question items, which ranges from 0 to 60; higher scores represent a more severe condition. Negative change in MADRS total score indicates improvement.

The DARS is a 17-item self-report questionnaire that is designed to assess anhedonia in MDD across the 4 domains: hobbies, social activities, food/drink, and sensory experience. The DARS scale measures desire, motivation, effort, and consummatory pleasure. The DARS is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0=not at all, 1=slightly, 2=moderately, 3=mostly, 4=very much) and responses are summed to generate the total score (ranges from 0 to 68). A lower total score is indicative of greater anhedonia. Positive changes in DARS total score indicate improvement.

Change from baseline to Day 43 in PHQ-9 total score is reported. The PHQ-9 is a 9-item, participant reported outcome measure to assess depressive symptoms. The scale scores each of the 9 symptom domains of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5th Edition (DSM-5) MDD criteria. Each item is rated on a 4 point scale (0=not at all, 1=several days, 2=more than half the days, and 3=nearly every day). The participant's item responses are summed to provide a total score (range of 0 to 27), with higher scores indicating greater severity of depressive symptoms. The severity of the PHQ-9 is categorized as follows: none-minimal (0-4), mild (5-9), moderate (10-14), moderately severe (15-19) and severe (20-27). Negative changes in PHQ-9 total score indicate improvement.

The participant's item responses are summed to provide a total score (range of 0 to 27), with higher scores indicating greater severity of depressive symptoms. The severity of the PHQ-9 is categorized as follows: none-minimal (0-4), mild (5-9), moderate (10-14), moderately severe (15-19) and severe (20-27). Negative changes in PHQ-9 total score indicate improvement.

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1), Days 15, 29, and 43

Population: Full analysis set (ANH+) included all adult randomized participants with MDD ANH+ who received at least 1 dose of study intervention. Here, 'N' (overall number of participants analyzed) signifies participants evaluable for this outcome measure and 'n' (number analyzed) signifies number of participants analyzed at specified timepoints.

Change from baseline over time in the PROMIS-APS 8a is reported. This 8-item measure assesses participants' ability to participate in social roles and activities. The items measures the degree of involvement in social roles, activities, and responsibilities, including work, family, friends, and leisure. Each item is rated on a 5-point ordinal scale including 1=always, 2=usually, 3=sometimes, 4=rarely and 5=never, with higher scores indicating better social functioning. The total scores of PROMIS-APS 8a ranges from 8 to 40 and is transformed using a T-score metric with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. T-score ranges from 25.9 to 65.4, a higher score indicates better social functioning. Positive change in score indicates improvement.

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1), Days 29 and 43

Population: Full analysis set (ANH+) included all adult randomized participants with MDD ANH+ who received at least 1 dose of study intervention. As planned overall work impairment (absenteeism plus presenteeism) and activity impairment is reported. Here, 'N' (overall number of participants analyzed) signifies participants evaluable for this outcome measure and 'n' (number analyzed) signifies number of participants who were analyzed at specified timepoints.

The WPAI:D questionnaire is a validated short instrument that assesses impairment in work and other regular activities over the past 7 days. The WPAI yields four types of scores: (a) Absenteeism (work time missed); (b) Presenteeism (impairment at work / reduced on-the-job effectiveness); (c) Work productivity loss (overall work impairment / absenteeism plus presenteeism); (d) Activity Impairment. The first three scores are derived only for respondents who were working (should be missing for non-working), but the last score is applicable for all respondents. Each score ranges from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating greater impairment and less productivity. Negative changes in score indicates less impairment and greater productivity.

A TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. A TEAE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAEs included both serious and non serious adverse events.
