No peer-reviewed publication reporting this trial's results has been linked yet. This can indicate results are unpublished — a known publication-bias signal. We re-check periodically.
Summary
To evaluate the efficacy and the safety of ASC-01 (aripiprazole/sertraline combination) compared to sertraline monotherapy in patients with major depressive disorders who have responded incompletely to sertraline monotherapy.
