Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of JNJ-55308942 compared to placebo on symptoms of depression in participants with bipolar disorder (BD) in a major depressive episode (MDE) at Week 6.

Description

JNJ-55308942 is a potent, selective, and brain penetrant antagonist of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) gated P2X7 receptor. The primary hypothesis that will be tested in this study is that JNJ-55308942, compared to placebo, results in a significant improvement in the reduction of the symptoms of depression in participants with BD in a MDE as assessed by change in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score. Efficacy assessment will include MADRS and safety assessment will include physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), vital signs, clinical safety laboratory assessments, and suicidal ideation and behavior risk monitoring. Total duration of this study will be up to 15 weeks.

Any abnormalities must be consistent with the underlying illness in the study population. This determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator
Have a body mass index (BMI) between 18.0 and 35.0 kilograms per meter square (kg/m^2) inclusive (BMI = weight/height^2)

Exclusion Criteria

Currently meets the DSM-5 criteria for Manic Episode (ME) on the MINI
Received transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), any transcranial electrical stimulation, including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) and/or deep brain stimulation (DBS) within 6 weeks prior to randomization
History of moderate to severe cannabis misuse according to DSM-5 criteria within 6 months before screening
History of malignancy within 5 years before screening (exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or malignancy that in the opinion of the investigator is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence)
