What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and Tolerability Profile of EVT 101

    AE monitoring, clinical laboratory assessments, vital sign measurements, body weight, 12-lead ECG, physical exmaninations, ophthalmological examinations and questionnaires

    Measured: 28 days of EVT 101-Treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Efficacy of EVT 101 in depression measured using the MADRS score

    Efficacy of EVT 101 in depression measured using the MADRS score and comparing those scores at the end of treatment with scores at baseline

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Percentage of patients who respond to treatment with study drug

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Percentage of patients who experience remission

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing EVT 101 in people with Depression, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 14 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Evotec has indicated that this study was discontinued due to a clinical hold issued by the FDA). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and Tolerability Profile of EVT 101 (time frame: 28 days of EVT 101-Treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Mar 2016.
