Study update summary
11 Apr, 2026Study background and unmet need
Over 4 million adults in the U.S. suffer from treatment-resistant depression (TRD), a chronic and burdensome condition with high patient burden, increased suicide risk, and economic impact.
TRD patients have failed at least two prior antidepressant treatments and experience longer, more severe episodes than typical MDD patients.
Only two medicines are approved for TRD, with limited use, highlighting a significant unmet need.
Study design and methodology
Two pivotal Phase 3 trials (COMP005 and COMP006) evaluated COMP360 in TRD, enrolling over 1,000 participants.
COMP005: U.S.-based, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single 25 mg dose vs placebo, 258 participants, three study parts (up to 52 weeks).
COMP006: International, randomized, double-blind, 581 participants, two 25 mg doses vs 10 mg and 1 mg, three study parts (up to 52 weeks), with primary endpoint at six weeks.
Both studies required discontinuation of existing antidepressants and included highly symptomatic, chronic TRD patients; baseline demographics matched TRD epidemiology.
Blinded remote raters and active low-dose comparators were used to minimize expectancy and unblinding effects.
Efficacy results
Both trials met primary endpoints, showing highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in MADRS scores at Week 6 for COMP360 25 mg versus control arms.
Rapid onset of effect observed from the day after administration, sustained through Week 6, with durable effects lasting at least 26 weeks for responders.
Clinically meaningful MADRS reduction (≥25%) was achieved by 25% of participants in COMP005 and 39% in COMP006 at Week 6 in the 25 mg arm.
Over 40% of COMP005 participants who had not remitted by 6 weeks entered remission after a second dose.
Dose response observed, with 25 mg outperforming lower doses and placebo at all time points.
