AV-101
Developed by VistaGen Therapeutics
NCT02484456 · Phase 2 · completed
Nineteen participants were randomized to receive AV-101 and placebo in a double-blind crossover design. The primary clinical depression endpoint was not statistically significant at the reported time points; for example, the day-0 comparison was 20.22 with AV-101 versus 20.56 with placebo (p=0.68), and the day-13 comparison was 21.52 versus 19.69 (p=0.26).
BI 1569912
Developed by Boehringer Ingelheim
NCT06280235 · Phase 2 · completed
The study was randomized, quadruple-blind, placebo-controlled, and included 243 participants, using the clinical MADRS depression score as its primary endpoint. However, the prespecified primary dose-response analysis was not statistically significant, so the trial provides well-controlled but inconclusive evidence of benefit.
