Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change from Baseline in the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score at Week 6
Baseline to Week 6

The MADRS is used to assess depression severity and to detect changes due to antidepressant treatment. The MADRS includes 10 clinician-completed items. Each of the 10 questions is scored with a range of 0-6 points. An item score of 0 indicates item not present or normal, while an item score of 6 indicates severe or continuous presence of the symptoms. The total possible score is 60, and higher scores represent a more severe condition.

Change from Baseline in Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) total score at Week 12
Baseline to Week 12

The HAM-A consists of the following 14 items that encompass both psychological and somatic symptoms of anxiety. Each item is scored on a scale of 0 (not present) to 4 (severe), with a total score range of 0-56, where \<17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate severity and 25-30 moderate to severe.

Dose Response
4 weeks

To investigate the dose-response relationship for different doses of MM120 versus placebo in change from Baseline in Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) Total Score at Week 4. The HAM-A consists of the following 14 items that encompass both psychological and somatic symptoms of anxiety: Anxious mood, Tension, Fears, Insomnia, Intellectual, Depressed mood, Somatic (muscular), Somatic (sensory), Cardiovascular symptoms, Respiratory symptoms, Gastrointestinal symptoms, Genitourinary symptoms, Autonomic symptoms, and Behavior at interview (general). The central rater assessed the extent to which the subject displayed each given criterion and gave a rating on a scale of 0-4, where 4 represents the most severe symptoms. Minimum score = 0, maximum score = 56. Scores are summed and the greater the total score, the more severe illness.

Change in Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Symptoms
6 weeks

The Adult ADHD investigator symptom rating scale (AISRS) total score consists of 18 items from the original Attention-deficit/hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (ADHD-RS). The ADHD-RS includes 9 items that address symptoms of inattention, and 9 items that address symptoms of impulsivity and hyperactivity. Each item is rated from 0 to 3. The AISRS total score can range from 0 to 54. A higher score corresponds to a worse severity of ADHD.

Secondary Endpoints

Change from Baseline in the MADRS total score at Week 12, Week 4, Week 2, and Week 1
Week 12, Week 4, Week 2, and Week 1
MADRS response (reduction from Baseline score of ≥50%) at each timepoint assessed during the 12-week double-blind period
Baseline to Week 12
MADRS remission (total score ≤12) at each timepoint assessed during the 12-week double-blind treatment period
