Interested in Participating in a Clinical Trial for Adults Suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)?
This clinical research study is looking at the safety and effectiveness of an investigational medication option for people who suffer from major depressive disorder.
This study evaluates brenipatide, when administered with standard of care (SoC) compared to placebo plus SoC in delaying the return of major depressive symptoms.
The trial is divided into three periods as follows: a screening period that will last approximately 1 month, a treatment period that will last a minimum of 12 months, and the follow up period that will last approximately 2 months. The duration of study participation may vary and may be shortened if depression symptoms worsen or if withdrawal from the study occurs for any reason.
Would you like to take part?
