Lumateperone add-on for major depression that didn’t improve

Major Depressive Disorder

Treatments studied

Part of Mental health clinical trials.

This study tests whether adding lumateperone to an antidepressant helps adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) who haven’t improved enough after trying at least two different antidepressants. It may help reduce depressive symptoms more than antidepressants alone.
