Brief Summary:
This is an outpatient, 2-arm, Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of REL-1017 once daily (QD) as an adjunctive treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. Study participants will continue to take their current antidepressant therapy in addition to the study drug or placebo for the duration of the treatment period.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in the MADRS10 total score [ Time Frame: Day 28 ]

    Therapeutic efficacy of REL-1017 as adjunctive treatment versus placebo in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS10)

    A higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60 with scores above 34 indicating severe depression.

    A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in CGI-S score [ Time Frame: Day 28 ]

    Therapeutic efficacy of REL-1017 as an adjunctive treatment versus placebo in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S)

    The CGI-S is a standard method used in clinical studies to quantify and track patient progress and treatment response over time. The scale is composed of 7 ratings: 1 = normal, not at all ill; 2 = borderline ill; 3 = mildly ill; 4 = moderately ill; 5 = markedly ill; 6 = severely ill; and 7 = among the most extremely ill patients.

    The score ranges from 1 to 7, and a lower CGI-S score indicates lower levels of depression.


  2. Change in the MADRS10 total score [ Time Frame: Day 7 ]

    Therapeutic efficacy of REL-1017 as adjunctive treatment versus placebo in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS10)

    A higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60 with scores above 34 indicating severe depression.

    A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
