Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score Change From Baseline to Week 4.
Baseline, Week 4

MADRS total score, sum of 10 item scores (each on a 0 (best value) to 6 (worst value)scale), assesses the severity of depressive symptoms on a continuous scale from 0 (the best) to 60 (the worst). Change from baseline was calculated as Week 4 value minus baseline value. \[observed cases, Mixed Model Repeated Measurement (MMRM), Full Analysis Set (FAS)\]

Investigate the safety and tolerability of AZD7268 by Adverse Events.
From first dosing throughout the treatment period and including the follow-up period
To asses the safety nature and incidence of adverse events, blood pressure, pulse rate, body temperature, physical examination, laboratory assessments (clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis parameters), effects on ECG parameters, EEG recordings,
From screening period to follow-up, 44 days (maiximum).
To assess the safety and tolerability of AZD7268 when given orally in multiple ascending doses to healthy male subjects and female subjects of non-childbearing potential.
Safety assessments are made at each visit, at least daily, during the study.
To assess the safety and tolerability of single ascending dose administration of AZD7268 when given orally to healthy male subjects and female subjects of non-childbearing potential.
Safety assessments are made at each visit, at least daily, during the study.
