What is being measured

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

  1. The change in MADRS total score from baseline

    There are a total of 10 projects in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale(MADRS), each with a 7-point scoring system ranging from 0 to 6 points. The higher the score, the more severe the degree of depression.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. The change in HAMD-17 total score from baseline

    There are a total of 17 projects in Hamilton Depression Scale-17(HAMD-17). Scores are distributed on a scale of 0 to 53. A score above 24 indicates severe depression, a score of 17 indicates moderate depression, and a score below 7 indicates no depressive symptoms.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. The effective rate of MADRS

    The effective definition of MADRS is that the reduction rate of MADRS score relative to baseline is ≥ 50%.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. The effective rate of HAMD-17

    The effective definition of HAMD-17 is that the reduction rate of HAMD-17 score relative to baseline is ≥ 50%.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. The response rate of MADRS

    The response definition of MADRS is that the score ≤ 12 points.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. The response rate of HAMD-17

    The response definition of HAMD-17 is that the score ≤ 7 points.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  6. The change in CGI-I and CGI-S total score from baseline

    Perform the Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI-S) score from Visit 1 to Visit 7, and perform the Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI-I) score from Visit 3 to Visit 7.The highest score is 7 points, and the higher the score, the more severe the condition will be.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  7. The change in HAMA total score from baseline

    There are a total of 14 projects in Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA), each with a 5-point scoring system ranging from 0 to 4 points. A total score of less than 6 on the scale is considered normal, a score of 7-14 indicates possible anxiety, a score of 15-20 indicates certain anxiety, a score of 21-28 indicates obvious anxiety, and a total score of more than 28 indicates severe anxiety. The higher the score, the more severe the anxiety.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  8. The change in MADRS Single item score from baseline

    The higher the score, the more severe the degree of depression.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  9. The change in HAMD-17 factor score from baseline

    The higher the score, the more severe the degree of depression.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  10. The change in SHAPS total score from baseline

    There are a total of 14 projects in Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale(SHAPS), each with a 4-point scoring system ranging from 1 to 4 points. Scores are distributed between 14-56 points. The higher the score, the more severe the anhedonia.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing JS1-1-01 low-dose group, JS1-1-01 high-dose group and Active drug group in people with Depression, run by Tasly Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd at 17 sites in China.

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 6 inclusion and 23 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in China. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The change in MADRS total score from baseline (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 19 Nov 2025.
