- Depression is of moderate to severe degree at Screening and Baseline, independently confirmed by additional clinical assessments
- Participant has been on a stable dose of a single antidepressant medication at an adequate dose (label specified) for an adequate duration in the last month prior to Screening and has had an inadequate response (less than 50% improvement), as judged by the Investigator.
