Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline to Week 6 in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score
Baseline to Week 6

A 10-item scale for the evaluation of depressive symptoms. Each MADRS item is rated on a 0 to 6 scale. The MADRS total score is calculated as the sum of the 10 individual item scores; the total score can range from 0 to 60. Higher MADRS scores indicate higher levels of depressive symptoms.

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score.
60 minutes (min) prior to dosing (baseline); and 60 min, 80 min, 110 min, 230 min, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days and 7 days following dosing.

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a 10-item instrument used for the evaluation of depressive symptoms. Each item is rated on a scale of 0 to 6 (with higher scores indicating more severe depression). The individual item scores are added together to form a total score, ranging between 0 and 60. 0 is considered the best score, 60 the worst.

To give evidence of an antidepressant effect versus placebo, given together with another antidepressant confirmed by change in the MADRS total score
Baseline to week 3
The primary objective is to determine whether an antidepressant effect can be achieved in patients with Treatment Resistant Depression determined by a change from baseline in the MADRS total score.
Change from Baseline
The change in distribution, metabolism, and elimination of AZD6765 and total radioactivity after single-dose (150 mg) intravenous administration of [14C]-labelled AZD6765
Blood samples will be taken from predose until upto 240 hrs from start of infusion to assess radioactivity
The change in excretion of 14C (mass balance) in urine and faeces after a single intravenous dose of 150 mg [14C] AZD6765
Urine and feacal samples will be taken from predose until up to 240 hrs from start of infusion to assess radioactivity
Measurements of BOLD signal in the brain area BA25
Day1 (at infusion)

Frequently asked questions about AZD6765

What is AZD6765?

AZD6765 is an investigational small molecule developed by AstraZeneca PLC for the treatment of depression, including major depressive disorder and treatment resistant major depressive disorder. It has been studied in Phase 2 clinical trials and is not approved for commercial use. It was administered intravenously in clinical studies.

What is AZD6765 used for in major depressive disorder?

AZD6765 was studied as a treatment for major depressive disorder and treatment resistant major depressive disorder. Its clinical program included placebo-controlled trials evaluating antidepressant effects in adults with these conditions. It remains investigational and is not an approved therapy for depression or any other indication.

Who makes AZD6765?

AZD6765 is developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca sponsored the clinical trial program for the compound, including Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies conducted in the United States, United Kingdom, Chile, Slovakia, and South Africa.

What phase is AZD6765 in?

AZD6765 reached Phase 2 clinical development. Three completed trials are listed, including two Phase 2 studies in major depressive disorder and treatment resistant major depressive disorder, plus Phase 1 studies. No trials are currently active, and the drug is not approved for any indication.

What clinical trials is AZD6765 in?

AZD6765 has been evaluated in completed trials including NCT01482221, a Phase 2 study in major depressive disorder with 542 patients, and NCT00986479, a Phase 2 study in treatment resistant major depressive disorder with 22 patients. Phase 1 studies NCT01217645 and NCT01046630 examined metabolism and pharmaco MRI effects.

Is AZD6765 the same as AZD6765 iv?

Yes, AZD6765 iv is another name for AZD6765. The intravenous designation reflects the route of administration used in its clinical trials, including the Phase 1 study NCT01217645 that assessed distribution, metabolism, and excretion after single-dose intravenous administration. Both names refer to the same AstraZeneca compound.
