Participants in part 1 and direct enrollers to part 2 have had an inadequate response to at least 1 but no more than 2 antidepressants, administered at an adequate dose and duration in the current episode of depression. An inadequate response is defined as less than (<) 50% reduction but with some improvement (that is, improvement greater than [>] 0%) in depressive symptom severity with residual symptoms other than insomnia present, and overall good tolerability, as assessed by the MGH-ATRQ, and this must include the participant's current antidepressant treatment.
