Clinical Trials


1 A Randomised, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind Trial of the Antidepressant Efficacy of a Novel CNS-penetrant P2X7 Receptor Antagonist, JNJ-54175446, in People With Major Depressive Disorder, an Incomplete Response to Monoaminergic Antidepressant Drugs, and a Biomarker Profile Predictive of Active P2X7 Signalling

Depression is one of the most important causes of disability in the world today, with major personal, social and economic costs. Although some moderately effective drug treatments are already available, about a third of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) remain depressed despite current treatment. There is growing evidence that inflammation - the response of the body's immune system to physical and social stresses - can cause depressive symptoms in some patients. It is therefore predicted that anti-inflammatory drugs could have anti-depressant effects and the research team aims to test this using a new drug, JNJ-54175446, which blocks the activity of a receptor called P2X7. P2X7 is present on many immune cells and plays a key role in the release of inflammatory molecules during stress, which may be linked to stress-related depression. The research team will recruit approximately up to 142 participants with MDD to this clinical trial. Patients will have moderate-severe depressive symptoms despite ongoing treatment with a conventional anti-depressant drug, and they will have blood test results at screening that indicate they are likely to have active P2X7 signalling in the brain. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to receive either 50mg/day JNJ-54175446 or placebo for 8 weeks. Participants will be assessed at weeks 2, 5 and 8 using a standard clinical depression scale and the scores compared between those treated with placebo and those treated with JNJ-54175446. To understand more about the effects of JNJ-54175446 on the immune system and the brain, patients will also complete additional blood tests, questionnaires and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans at different visits throughout the trial. The trial will be carried out across 5 centres in the UK.

3. Presence of two copies of the loss-of-function C allele at rs3751143, and/or has one copy of the loss-of-function A allele at rs1653624 in the P2RX7 gene.

Primary Outcomes

Description: The Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), a researcher-rated scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The test consists of 10 items, each of which 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. (Visit 4)

Measure: Change from baseline in total score on the MADRS scale at week 8

Time: At baseline and at 8 weeks of treatment

Secondary Outcomes

Description: The Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), a researcher-rated scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The test consists of 10 items, each of which 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.

Measure: Change from baseline in total score on the MADRS scale

Time: At baseline, 2 and 5 weeks of treatment

Description: Perceived Stress Scale is a questionnaire measure of recent or current social stress. This scale ranges from 0 to 40; scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress; scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress; scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress.

Measure: Change in scores on Perceived Stress Scale

Time: At baseline, 2, 5 and 8 weeks of treatment

Description: Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale. SHAPS is an instrument developed for the assessment of hedonic capacity and consists of 14-items. Four major domains are covered in the scale, namely interest/pastimes, social interaction, sensory experience, and food/drink. The score range is 0-14. The higher the score the lower the ability to experience pleasure of the patient.

Measure: Change in scores on SHAPS

Time: At baseline, 2, 5 and 8 weeks of treatment

Description: Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (CFQ). The Fatigue Scale, sometimes referred to as the Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire, is a self-administered questionnaire for measuring the extent and severity of fatigue within both clinical and non-clinical, epidemiological populations. The respondent's global score can range from 0 to 33. The global score also spans two dimensions—physical fatigue (measured by items 1-7) and psychological fatigue (measured by items 8-11).

Measure: Change in scores on CFQ

Time: At baseline, 2, 5 and 8 weeks of treatment

Description: Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR16). The QIDS-SR16 is designed to assess the severity of depressive symptoms and is sensitive to change due to with medications, psychotherapy, or other treatments. Participants will provide responses to each item of this instrument with a 4-point Likert scale, with scores ranging from 0-3 for each item. The total score ranges from 0 to 27. Using a scale of severity of depression of none, mild, moderate, severe, and very severe, corresponding QIDS-SR16 total scores are none 1 to 5, mild 6 to 10, moderate 11 to 15, severe 16 to 20 and very severe 21 to 27.

Measure: Change in scores on QIDS-SR16

Time: At baseline, 2, 5 and 8 weeks of treatment

Description: Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7). GAD-7 is a self-reported questionnaire for screening and severity measuring of GAD. GAD-7 has seven items, which measure severity of various signs of GAD according to reported response categories with assigned points. Assessment is indicated by the total score, which made up by adding together the scores for all 7 items. The score ranges from 0 to 21. Using a scale of severity of anxiety of none, mild, moderate and severe, corresponding to GAD-7 total scores are none 0 to 4, mild 5 to 9, moderate 10 to 14 and severe 15 to 21.

Measure: Change in scores on GAD-7

Time: At baseline, 2, 5 and 8 weeks of treatment

Description: Participants will be asked to self-assess their depression using the Beck Depression Inventory scale (BDI). BDI is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory, widely used for assessment of depression, including in the NIMA BIODEP study, with a score range of 0-63. Each of the 21 items is rated by the participant on a 4 point scale.

Measure: Change in score on participant self-reported depression scale

Time: At baseline and at 8 weeks of treatment

Description: Revere-D is an application developed by Johnson and Johnson, and consists of a battery of eight validated cognitive tasks that assesses cognitive functions, such as memory and learning, that do not involve cognitive processing of emotionally salient stimuli.

Measure: Change in scores in the cognitive function test ReVeRe-D

Time: At baseline, 2, 5 and 8 weeks of treatment

Description: The continuous performance test is a computerised test of sustained attention which provides a measure of cognitive fatigue.

Measure: Change in scores in Continuous performance test

Time: At baseline, 2, 5 and 8 weeks of treatment

Description: The emotional test battery will consist of 3 validated computerised tasks which are used to assess cognitive functions that involve processing emotionally salient stimuli, such as human faces expressing emotional states.
