A Phase 2a Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Two Repeated Doses of GM-2505 at a 2-Week Interval in Patients With Major Depressive Disorder.
About This Trial
This is a three-part Phase 2a study.

The aim of Part B is to assess the antidepressant efficacy, safety and tolerability in patients with MDD who are partial responders while on a current and adequate single SSRI or SNRI treatment. Part C aims to replicate the monotherapy findings of Part A, but with a lower control group dose.
