Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

The Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
52 Weeks

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation patient administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

Time to First Relapse During the First 52 Weeks of the Double-Blind Treatment Period
52 Weeks

The time in days to first relapse is defined as the number of days from the date of randomization to the first relapse.

Number of Participants Experiencing Suicidal Ideation or Suicidal Behavior Based on Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Using 5-Point Scales
104 Weeks

On the C-SSRS, the 5 types of suicidal ideation are: Type 1: "Wish to be dead" Type 2: Non-specific active suicidal thoughts Type 3: "Active suicidal ideation with any methods (not plan) without intent to act" Type 4: "Active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan" Type 5: "Active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent"

Change From Baseline in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at the End of Study
Baseline and 3 Weeks

The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale to assess depressive symptomatology during the preceding week. Participants are rated on 10 items (feelings of sadness, lassitude, pessimism, inner tension, suicidality, reduced sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, and lack of interest) each on a 7-point scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (symptoms of maximum severity). The total score ranges from 0 to 60 with a higher score indicating more depression. A negative change score indicates improvement.

Change From Baseline in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at the End of Trial
Baseline and 3 Weeks

The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale to assess depressive symptomatology during the preceding week. Participants are rated on 10 items (feelings of sadness, lassitude, pessimism, inner tension, suicidality, reduced sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, and lack of interest) each on a 7-point scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (symptoms of maximum severity). The total score ranges from 0 to 60 with a higher score indicating more depression. A negative change score indicates improvement.

Simulated driving performance as measured by SDLP using the CRCDS-MiniSim for rapastinel compared with placebo and positive control (alprazolam)
Day 1 of each intervention
Maximum effect (Emax) for "At this Moment" Drug Liking visual analog scale (VAS).
Treatment Phase: Pre-dose and up to 24 hours post-dose

The drug liking VAS measures the participant's liking for the drug and is scored from 0 to 100, with 0 reflecting "Strong disliking" and 100 reflecting "Strong liking".
