A 6-Month, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Flexible-Dose, Parallel-Group Study to Compare the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of JNJ-42847922 Versus Quetiapine Extended-Release as Adjunctive Therapy to Antidepressants in Adult Subjects With Major Depressive Disorder Who Have Responded Inadequately to Antidepressant Therapy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating JNJ-42847922, Placebo Matching to JNJ-42847922, and 4 other interventions for Depressive Disorder, Major. Completed, enrolled 107 participants across 50 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of flexibly dosed JNJ-42847922 (20 milligram \[mg\] or 40 mg) compared to flexibly dosed quetiapine extended-release (XR) (150 mg or 300 mg) as adjunctive therapy to an antidepressant drug in delaying time to all-cause discontinuation of study drug over a 6-months (24 weeks) treatment period, in participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have had an inadequate response to current antidepressant therapy with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI).
