E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Phase 1 (Part A): Primary objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of single-day dosing of GH001 in patients with TRD. Phase 2 (Part B): Primary objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the effects of single-day dosing of GH001 on the severity of depression.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Phase 1 (Part A): Secondary Objective(s): The secondary objectives of the study are to assess the effects of single-day dosing of GH001 on various measures of depression, and on dose-related psychoactive effects. Phase 2 (Part B): Primary objective: The primary objective of this study is to assess the effects of single-day dosing of GH001 on the severity of depression. Secondary Objective(s): The secondary objectives of the study are to assess the safety and tolerability of single-day dosing of GH001 in patients with TRD and its effects on the severity of depression, other measures of depression, and on dose-related psychoactive effects.
