Brief Summary

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

A Phase 3 Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study (Part A) with an Open-label Extension (Part B) Evaluating MM120 Compared to Placebo in Major Depressive Disorder - Emerge

Detailed Description

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

The study will enroll approximately 140 adult men and women aged 18 to 74 years, inclusive with a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) confirmed primary diagnosis of MDD,a minimum MADRS total score of at least 26 and a CGI-S score of at least 4 at Screening and Baseline without clinically relevant medical or psychiatric history.

The study consists of a 12-week randomized, double-blind, single-dose administration period evaluating MM120 versus placebo, followed by a 40-week extension phase with the opportunity for open-label treatment. During this phase, participants will be monitored and evaluated for potential treatment with MM120 based on pre-specified safety and symptom severity criteria.
