Eligible out-patients will be treated once daily (QD) with a fixed dose of either PNB01 (PIP 15 mg / CIT 20 mg (Week 1) - PIP 15 mg / CIT 40 mg (Week 2-10)), CIT alone (CIT 20 mg (Week 1) - CIT 40 mg (Week 2-10) or PIP 15 mg alone (Week 1-10) in a 1:1:1 ratio in a double-blind fashion for 10 weeks. Study visits will be conducted 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 weeks after study treatment initiation. Possible withdrawal effects will be assessed 1 week after study treatment withdrawal.\n\nA blood sample for pharmacokinetic analysis will be collected when drawing blood for routine biochemistry. Patients who provided written informed consent to participate to the study will be asked to provide their consent to participate also to the non-mandatory pharmacogenetic study.\n\nPatient related outcomes will be collected electronically (ePRO) at study visits prior to visiting the investigator by using an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) via telephone. Patients wishing or choosing to discontinue the study treatment prematurely will be encouraged to continue to provide their scores, safety data and medications taken, up to the scheduled study end, by telephone."},"conditionsModule":{"conditions":["Major Depressive Disorder"]},"designModule":{"studyType":"INTERVENTIONAL","phases":["PHASE3"],"designInfo":{"allocation":"RANDOMIZED","interventionModel":"PARALLEL","primaryPurpose":"TREATMENT","maskingInfo":{"masking":"QUADRUPLE","whoMasked":["PARTICIPANT","CARE_PROVIDER","INVESTIGATOR","OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR"]}},"enrollmentInfo":{"count":555,"type":"ACTUAL"}},"armsInterventionsModule":{"armGroups":[{"label":"PNB01","type":"EXPERIMENTAL","description":"oral, once daily administration","interventionNames":["Drug: PNB01 fixed dose combination of pipamperone and citalopram"]},{"label":"citalopram","type":"ACTIVE_COMPARATOR","description":"oral, once daily administration","interventionNames":["Drug: Citalopram"]},{"label":"pipamperone","type":"SHAM_COMPARATOR","description":"oral, once daily administration","interventionNames":["Drug: Pipamperone"]}],"interventions":[{"type":"DRUG","name":"PNB01 fixed dose combination of pipamperone and citalopram","description":"oral once daily administration","armGroupLabels":["PNB01"]},{"type":"DRUG","name":"Citalopram","description":"oral once daily administration","armGroupLabels":["citalopram"]},{"type":"DRUG","name":"Pipamperone","description":"oral once daily administration","armGroupLabels":["pipamperone"]}]},"outcomesModule":{"primaryOutcomes":[{"measure":"Early and Sustained (Antidepressant) Response (ESR) Rate","description":"Early and Sustained Response (ESR) is defined as a MADRS total score reduction from Baseline of 50% or more and a MADRS total score ≤16 at Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, and Week 6.","timeFrame":"From (end of) Week 2 visit to (end of) Week 6 visit"}],"secondaryOutcomes":[{"measure":"Change From Baseline in Total MADRS Score at Week 6","description":"Change from baseline in total score on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) after 6 weeks of study treatment as assessed by the patient using an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) via telephone\n\nThe MADRS scale is a widely used and well-validated 10-item diagnostic questionnaire designed to measure the severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders.
