Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Basimglurant: Healthy Cohort (1)EXPERIMENTALHealthy participants assigned to basimglurant will receive a 22-day ascending dose regimen. Cohort 1 will receive a prespecified titration scheme; however, adaptive titration schemes may be applied in subsequent cohorts.
Basimglurant: Healthy Cohort (2)EXPERIMENTALHealthy participants assigned to basimglurant will receive a 22-day ascending dose regimen. The dosing scheme for Cohort 2 will be selected in accordance with decision criteria on the basis of the incidence of severe AEs in Cohort 1.
Basimglurant: Healthy Cohort (3)EXPERIMENTALHealthy participants assigned to basimglurant will receive a 22-day ascending dose regimen. The dosing scheme for Cohort 3 will be selected in accordance with decision criteria on the basis of the incidence of severe AEs in preceding Cohorts 1 and 2.
Basimglurant: Healthy Cohort (4)EXPERIMENTALHealthy participants assigned to basimglurant will receive a 22-day ascending dose regimen. The dosing scheme for Cohort 4 will be selected in accordance with decision criteria on the basis of the incidence of severe AEs in preceding Cohorts 1, 2, and 3.
Basimglurant: MDD Cohort (5)EXPERIMENTALParticipants with MDD assigned to basimglurant will receive a 22-day ascending dose regimen. The dosing scheme for Cohort 5 may differ from those previously evaluated; however, the titration steps and the highest dose tested will remain equal to or lower than the doses tested in Cohorts 1 to 4.
Placebo: Healthy Cohorts (1 to 4)PLACEBO_COMPARATORHealthy participants will receive a 22-day regimen of matching placebo capsules.
Placebo: MDD Cohort (5)PLACEBO_COMPARATORParticipants with MDD will receive a 22-day regimen of matching placebo capsules.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
BasimglurantDRUGParticipants will receive once-daily oral basimglurant capsules in a multiple ascending dose regimen. Basimglurant dose will be titrated over 22 days; dose escalations will be separated by at least 4 days, with the final dose administered for a minimum of 14 days. The minimum starting dose will be 1.5 mg, which can be titrated up to a maximum dose of 4.0 mg. Intrapatient dose increments will not exceed 1.0 mg every 4 days.
PlaceboDRUGParticipants will receive 22 days of once-daily oral matching placebo capsules.
