Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of switching adult subjects with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) from a prior antidepressant treatment (to which they have not responded) to flexibly dosed intranasal esketamine (56 milligram [mg] or 84 mg) plus a newly initiated oral antidepressant compared with switching to a newly initiated oral antidepressant (active comparator) plus intranasal placebo, in improving depressive symptoms, as assessed by the change from baseline in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score from Day 1 (pre-randomization) to the end of the 4-week double-blind induction phase.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practices and applicable regulatory requirements.The safety assessments included adverse events, clinical laboratory, Vital sign measurements, Physical examinations, height, body weight, and neck circumference, Electrocardiogram (ECG), Pulse oximetry, Nasal examinations and nasal symptom questionnaire, Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), Clinician-Administered Dissociative States Scale (CADSS), Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS+), Modified Observer’s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (MOAA/S), Clinical Global Assessment of Discharge Readiness (CGADR), Physician Withdrawal Checklist; 20-Item (PWC-20), Bladder Pain / Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Score (BPIC-SS), Cognition testing, University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) and Smell Threshold Test

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period. It is expected the number of subjects starting the subsequent period will be the same as the number completing the preceding period.
    Justification: Subjects in follow up phase included subjects who were not eligible or who chose to not participate in the maintenance of effect study (ESKETINTRD3003) and therefore number of subjects starting the period is not consistent with the number completing the preceding period.

    Change from Baseline in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score up to End of 4-Week (Day 28) Double-blind Induction Phase
    End point description
    MADRS is clinician-rated scale designed to measure depression severity, to detect changes due to antidepressant treatment. Scale consists of 10 items (evaluates apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, sleep, appetite, concentration, lassitude, inability to feel [interest level], pessimistic thoughts and suicidal thoughts), each is scored from 0 (item is not present or is normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of symptoms), for total possible score range of 0-60. FAS defined as all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of intranasal study medication, 1 dose of oral antidepressant medication during double-blind induction phase (D-BIP). Here 'N' signifies number of subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint. Last post-baseline observation during the D-BIP was carried forward as endpoint for that phase. Missing data was imputed using LOCF method and the last post baseline observation during the phase was carried forward as “End Point” for that phase.

    Percentage of Subjects with Onset of Clinical Response on Day 2 and Day 8
    End point description
    A subject is defined as having a clinical response if there is at least 50% improvement from baseline in the MADRS total score with onset by Day 2 and Day 8 that was maintained to Day 28. Subjects are allowed one excursion (non-response) on Days 8, 15 or 22, however the score must show at least 25% improvement. Subjects who do not meet such criterion or discontinue during the study before Day 28 for any reason were considered as non-responders. FAS is defined as all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of intranasal study medication and 1 dose of oral antidepressant medication during the double-blind induction phase.

    Revised inclusion criteria to 1. specify that the criteria for non-response to oral antidepressant treatments in current episode of depression was less than or equal to (=<)25% improvement; specify that at the start of the screening/prospective observational phase, non-response to oral antidepressant treatment was to be documented on the Massachusetts General Hospital Antidepressant Treatment Response Questionnaire (MGH-ATRQ) (oral antidepressant must have been taken for at least 6 weeks at the minimum therapeutic dose with a lack of clinically meaningful improvement), 2. indicate that the severity of a subject’s depressive symptoms in the current major depressive episode was to be confirmed using a Site Independent Qualification Assessment to ensure enrollment of subjects who have symptoms that reflect the current state of illness, 3. include a lab test which measures levels of free thyroxine if thyroid-stimulating hormone values are out of range, 4. clarify the criteria for assessing pregnancy in women of childbearing potential, and 5. update criteria for methods of birth control. Revised exclusion criteria to 1. exclude subjects with at least 7 bilateral electroconvulsive therapy treatments, 2. exclude subjects who received vagal nerve stimulation in the current depressive episode, 3. exclude subjects with autism spectrum disorder 4. clarify that subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD) with psychotic features are excluded 5. update the list of cardiovascular conditions for exclusion of subjects with coronary artery disease, 6. clarify the definition of clinically significant ECG abnormalities, 7. permit use of concomitant medications that prolong the QT interval/corrected QT interval, 8. include a repeat screening test for abnormal alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase values, 9. clarify a positive test for cannabinoids at screening is not exclusionary 10. clarify that uncontrolled diabetes is exclusionary.

    Revised inclusion criteria to update minimum antidepressant treatment requirements at study entry to non-response to greater than equal to (=>)1 oral antidepressant treatments (from non-response to ≥2 oral antidepressant treatments) and to update the minimum amount of time the current oral antidepressant treatment must have been taken to at least 2 weeks (from at least 6 weeks); these changes allowed subjects to document non-response to a second oral antidepressant treatment for a minimum of 6 weeks and meet the criteria for Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) during the 4-week screening/prospective observational phase. The inclusion criteria were also revised to update the definition of non-response at the end of the screening/prospective observational phase to ≤25% improvement in the MADRS total score from Week 1 to Week 4 and a MADRS total score of ≥28 on Week 2 and Week 4 (from ≤25% improvement in the MADRS total score for 2 consecutive visits and a MADRS total score of ≥28 for 2 consecutive visits), to specify the same requirements for contraception for female partners of male subjects as specified for female subjects, and to clarify inclusion of subjects who have thyroid-stimulating hormone outside the normal ranges was permitted. Revised exclusion criteria to delete the exclusion for first degree atrioventricular (AV) block, allow prescription use of psychostimulants with dosing restrictions on intranasal treatment session days, and clarified exclusion of subjects based on obstructive sleep apnea. Reordered the list of key secondary objectives, evaluations, and endpoints to correspond to the revised order of the planned analysis. Deleted the interim analysis for sample size re-estimation. Revised the analysis of onset of clinical response to indicate that subjects were allowed one excursion.

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    As this was a flexible-dose study, dose-response relationships could not be evaluated because direct comparisons between dose groups could not be made.
