In this Phase 4 trial we will study the safety, tolerability and efficacy of mixed salts amphetamine (MSA), trade name Adderall, augmentation of antidepressant therapy for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in depressed outpatient adults who are taking an antidepressant but have not had complete resolution of their symptoms.
Forty adult outpatients with MDD who failed at least one adequate trial of antidepressant monotherapy will be consented in a 63-day, cross-sequential, multicenter study comprising two treatment phases of 21 days each. The time frame from consent to baseline is 7 days. Patients will receive placebo or MSA in Phase 1, and in Phase 2, participants will receive MSA. There will also be a two-week follow up visit after the completion of Phase 2.
We hypothesize that MSA will be safe and well tolerated, and will improve the patient's response to their antidepressant and provide superior symptom relief to antidepressant alone. The primary outcome measure is the Massachusetts General Hospital Cognitive-Physical Function Questionnaire (MGH-CPFQ).

| Change in Scores on the Massachusetts General Hospital Cognitive and Physical Functioning Questionnaire (MGH-CPFQ) | The CPFQ is a seven-item self-administered questionnaire with higher scores indicating increased impairment in cognitive and physical functioning; score range being 7-42. | Baseline (Visit 2); End Phase I (Visit 5, Week 3): End Phase II (Visit 8, Week 6) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Scores of the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) | The group treated with mixed salt amphetamine (MSA) adjunctive to antidepressant therapy (ADT) will show a greater mean change from baseline to endpoint as compared to the group treated with placebo (PBO) adjunctive to ADT as measure by the change ion the MADRS scores. The MADRS is clinician-rated and consists of 10 items; each item is rated on a 0-6 scale, resulting in a maximum total score of 60 points, with higher scores indicative of greater depressive symptomology. The MADRS scoring instructions indicate that a total score ranging from 0 to 6 indicates that the patient is in the normal range (no depression), a score ranging from 7 to 19 indicates "mild depression," 20 to 34 indicates "moderate depression," a score of 35 and greater indicates "severe depression." There is evidence that an improvement of two points or more on the MADRS is considered clinically relevant. |
