Study Description

To evaluate the antidepressant effects of daily, active TMS (when compared with sham treatment) in adolescents meeting criteria for Major Depressive Disorder, single or recurrent episode (Phase I).

Secondary:

To evaluate the acute and long term safety of TMS treatment in adolescent MDD subjects.

To evaluate the durability of benefit of TMS treatment over the course of 6 months in subjects who received clinical benefit from acute treatment course(s) (Phase III).

To evaluate the benefit of daily, active, open-label TMS in Phase I subjects who did not receive protocol-defined clinical benefit; as new acute treatment (sham to active) or as extended treatment course (blinded active to open label active) (Phase II).
