Brief Summary  

Lu AA21004 was discovered by H. Lundbeck A/S, and is under co-development by H. Lundbeck A/S and Takeda for the treatment of major depressive disorder and general anxiety disorder.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a chronic, recurring disease with considerable morbidity in the general population. The estimated lifetime prevalence of major depression in the adult population is 5 to 25%, with a higher prevalence in women (10 to 25%) than in men (5 to 12%). The hallmark of the disease is a depressed mood, with additional symptoms including sleep disturbances, psychomotor agitation or retardation, sexual dysfunction, weight loss, concentration difficulties and delusional ideas. Anxiety symptoms are common; however, the most serious complication of a depressive episode is emergence of suicidal ideation and behavior.

This study will be conducted to assess the efficacy and the safety of three fixed doses of Lu AA21004 in order to establish the appropriate clinical effective dose range. Blood samples will be collected from participants, and a safety follow-up contact (visit or phone call) will be made 4 weeks after completion of the 8-week double-blind treatment period.

Subjects who prematurely discontinue the study during the 8-week double-blind treatment period will be requested to visit the study site for a withdrawal visit as soon as possible and will be contacted for a safety follow-up assessment 4 weeks after withdrawal.

The total duration of the study is 13 weeks in total.
