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   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   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 primary objective of this study was to assess the dose-response relationship of up to 3 doses of seltorexant (20, and 40 milligram [mg], with 10 mg added at the interim analysis [IA]) compared with placebo as adjunctive therapy to an antidepressant drug in improving depressive symptoms in subjects 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). This study also assessed the safety and tolerability of seltorexant compared with placebo as adjunctive therapy to an antidepressant in subjects with MDD.
    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 informed consent form (ICF) was performed for all subjects and the ICFs were all approved by local/country Independent Review Boards (IRBs) or Ethics Committees (ECs) . Safety evaluations were based upon the adverse events (AEs), vital sign measurements, clinical laboratory test results, physical examinations. Electrocardiogram (ECG), Physician Withdrawal Checklist (PWC)-20, Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX).
    Background therapy
    All subjects needed to be on an selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) to participate though the Sponsor did not supply this.

    Change From Baseline to Week 6 in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Day 42
    End point description
    MADRS is a clinician-administered scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The MADRS evaluates the following 10 items: apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total possible score of 60. Higher scores represent a more severe condition. Full analysis set included all subjects who were randomly assigned to study drug and received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here N (numbers of subjects analysed) signifies numbers of subjects evaluable for this endpoint.

    The SHAPS is a 14-item, self-report instrument to assess hedonic capacity in adults with MDD. Each of the items has a set of 4 response categories-Definitely Agree (=1), Agree (=2), Disagree (=3), and Definitely Disagree (=4). A total score is created with either of the Disagree responses receiving a score of 1 and either of the Agree responses receiving a score of 0. The subjects item responses are summed to provide a total score ranging from 0 to 14. A higher total SHAPS score indicates higher levels of current anhedonia. Full analysis set included subjects who were randomly assigned to study drug and received at least 1 dose of study drug. Here, ‘N’ (number of subjects analyzed) signifies those subjects who were evaluable for this endpoint. Endpoint (DB) values are from the last measurement within the double-blind period.
