Summary

This study tests whether adding a new drug called brenipatide to standard depression treatment can delay the return of major depressive symptoms. About 1000 adults with major depression who are already on stable medication will receive either brenipatide or a placebo as a shot, plus their usual care, for at least 12 months. The goal is to see if brenipatide helps people stay well longer.
