Phase 3: testing Esketamine for Depressive Disorder, Major

This study wants to evaluate how well JNJ-54135419 works (how well it works) in addition to comprehensive standard of care (SoC) in rapidly reducing the symptoms of major depressive disorder (major depression, a mental disorder characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in activities) as compared with psychoactive dummy treatment (placebo) (does not contain JNJ-54135419) plus SoC in adolescent participants with acute suicidal ideation or behavior.

Official registry: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT07227454 · Janssen Research & Development, LLC · enrollment listed as 258

What this phase means

Phase 3: this treatment already looked useful in smaller studies. Now it is tested in a large group, often against standard care or a dummy treatment, to see if it should be approved.

Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.

What the registry says happens

If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Esketamine, Midazolam, or Oral Placebo. The registry lists allocation as randomized. This study wants to evaluate how well JNJ-54135419 works (how well it works) in addition to comprehensive standard of care (SoC) in rapidly reducing the symptoms of major depressive disorder (major depression, a mental disorder characterized by a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in activities) as compared with psychoactive dummy treatment (placebo) (does not contain JNJ-54135419) plus SoC in adolescent participants with acute suicidal ideation or behavior.

They plan to enroll about 258 people at 49 sites. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
