Primary outcomePrimary: Panel A and B: Change From Baseline (Day 1) in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Day 8- Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) Analysis — -4.9; -9.8; -12.4; -15.3 Unit on a scale

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and dose response of intranasal esketamine (Panel A: 28 mg, 56 mg, and 84 mg and Panel B: 14 mg and 56 mg) compared with placebo in improving depressive symptoms in participants with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
