Apimostinel + Automated Neurocognitive Training for Depression (NCT06400121)

Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Single Intravenous Dose, Parallel Efficacy Study of Apimostinel With or Without Subsequent Automated Self-Association Training in Subjects With Major Depressive Disorder

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Rebecca Price

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Apimostinel shows initial promise as a novel rapid-acting antidepressant medication with minimal side effects or safety concerns. Cognitive Training (CT) is a digital intervention that has shown promise in extending the durability of another similar drug (ketamine). This randomized controlled trial will test the efficacy and safety of apimostinel (vs. placebo) for the acute treatment of depression, and will test the potential of CT to enhance and/or extend the durability of apimostinel's antidepressant effect.
