| Current Primary Outcome Measures | •Percentage of Participants with Response (>=50 Percent improvement in MADRS total score from baseline) at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Week 26 ] -- Responders are defined as percentage of participants with greater than or equal to (>=) 50 percent (%) improvement in the montgomery-asberg depression rating scale (MADRS) total score from baseline. MADRS is a clinician-administered scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The MADRS evaluates the following 10 items: apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total possible score of 60. Higher scores represent a more severe condition. |
| Current Secondary Outcome Measures | •Change from baseline in Weight up to Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ] -- Change from baseline in weight will be reported. |
| •Time to Study Drug Discontinuation for Potentially Treatment Related Reasons [ Time Frame: Up to Week 26 ] -- Time to discontinuation of study drug for potentially treatment related reasons will be reported. Potentially treatment related reasons are defined as all study drug discontinuations excluding the potentially non-treatment related discontinuations (eg, loss of insurance for antidepressant therapy, movement/travel out of the area, change of work-schedule being unable to accommodate visit schedule, family circumstances). | |
| •Change from Baseline in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ] -- MADRS is a clinician-administered scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The MADRS evaluates the following 10 items: apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total possible score of 60. Higher scores represent a more severe condition. | |
| •Change from Baseline in MADRS-6 Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ] -- The MADRS-6 scale is a clinician-administered questionnaire used to measure the severity of MDD symptoms. The MADRS-6 scale is a subset of the MADRS-10 scale, comprised of the following individual questionnaire items: Apparent Sadness, Reported Sadness, Inner Tension, Lassitude, Inability to Feel, and Pessimistic Thoughts. Scores range from 0 (no apparent symptoms) to 36 (most severe symptoms). | |
| •Change from Baseline in the MADRS Without Sleep Item (MADRS-WOSI) Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ] -- The MADRS is a 10-item clinician-rated instrument for evaluating severity of symptoms of depression. Each item is rated on a scale from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. MADRS-WOSI considered 9 of the 10 MADRS items, excluding “reduced sleep” item. The total score ranged from 0 to 54, with higher scores corresponding to greater symptom severity. | |
| •Change from Baseline in Patient Health Questionnaire, 9-Item (PHQ-9) Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ] -- The PHQ-9 is a 9-item, participant reported outcome measure to assess depressive symptoms. The scale scores each of the 9 symptom domains of the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders-5th edition (DSM-5) major depressive disorder (MDD) criteria. Each item is rated on a 4 point scale (0=not at all, 1=several days, 2=more than half the days, and 3=nearly every day). The participant’s item responses are summed to provide a total score (range of 0 to 27), with higher scores indicating greater severity of depressive symptoms. | |
| •Percentage of Participants with Remission (MADRS Total Score less than or equal to (<=) 12) at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Week 26 ] -- Percentage of participants with remission (MADRS total Score <=12) will be reported. | |
| •Percentage of Participants with a >=50 Percent Improvement in MADRS Total Score and MADRS <=18 at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Week 26 ] -- Percentage of participants with a >=50 percent improvement in MADRS total score and MADRS <=18 at Week 26. | |
| •Percentage of Participants with Weight Increase >=7 Percent from Baseline at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Week 26 ] -- Percentage of participants with weight increase >=7 percent from baseline will be reported. | |

| Brief Title | A Study of Seltorexant Compared to Quetiapine XR as Adjunctive Therapy to Antidepressants in Adult and Elderly Participants With Major Depressive Disorder With Insomnia Symptoms Who Have Responded Inadequately to Antidepressant Therapy |
| Official Title | Double-Blind, Randomized, Parallel-Group Study With Quetiapine Extended Release as Comparator to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Seltorexant 20 mg as Adjunctive Therapy to Antidepressants in Adult and Elderly Patients With Major Depressive Disorder With Insomnia Symptoms Who Have Responded Inadequately to Antidepressant Therapy |
| Brief Summary | The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of seltorexant compared with quetiapine extended-release (XR) as adjunctive therapy to an antidepressant drug in treatment response in participants with major depressive disorder with insomnia symptoms (MDDIS) who have had an inadequate response to current antidepressant therapy with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). |
