At the Screening/Baseline Visit (Visit 1/Day 1), which is the same visit as Visit 8/Day 43 of the lead-in study, eligible patients will receive open-label lumateperone 42 mg once daily for approximately 26 weeks. Patients will continue their background ADT from the lead-in study. Patients will be seen for weekly visits through Visit 5/Week 4. Thereafter, visits will occur every two weeks. A Safety Follow-up visit will occur on Visit 17/Day 197, approximately 2 weeks after the last dose of open-label lumateperone 42 mg.
This is a multicenter, open-label, fixed dose, 26 week study of patients with MDD. Eligible patients from the lead-in studies will enter the Open-label Safety Study at the Screening/Baseline Visit (Visit 1/Day 1), at which point patient eligibility will be assessed and informed consent obtained.
