Summary

This study tested a new medicine, NH102, for people with major depression. 243 adults took either NH102, a placebo (fake pill), or an existing antidepressant (duloxetine) for several weeks. The goal was to see if NH102 safely reduces depression symptoms better than placebo. Results will help design larger future studies.
