Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Extended Release R-107 oral tablets (60 mg). Subjects will be dosed initially with 120mg (2 x 60mg tablets) twice a week. Subjects will be assessed for response at each scheduled clinic visit and may increase the dose to 180mg (3 x 60mg tablets) twice a week or decrease the dose to 60mg (1 x 60mg tablet) twice a week. All participants will be provided with guidance on how and when to take their study drug dose. All participants will also be given a Reminder Card informing them to take the tablets twice a week on days 1 and 4.
Subjects will continue treatment for 24 weeks or until they meet withdrawal criteria. Subjects will be required to returned all study drug bottles for compliance assessments.
A subject will be withdrawn from the study for any of the following reasons:
• Lost to follow-up;
• Withdrawal of consent;
• Violation of protocol procedures (determined on a case by case basis);
• The subject becomes pregnant.

Subjects showing clinically significant worsening of symptoms (as measured through change in MADRS, CADSS, C-SSRS, BPIC-SS score) will be immediately withdrawn from the study if:
• MADRS score greater or equal to 22
OR
• The Principal Investigator sees fit that a subject is withdrawn because of significant tolerability and/or safety issues.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 306337 0
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of extended release (ER) R-107 tablets in subjects with Refractory Major Depressive Disorder who have completed the R107-C205 (BEDROC) study. Safety and tolerability will be assessed by reviewing adverse events, vital signs and ECGs (assessed centrally by a cardiologist).
Timepoint [1] 306337 0
Primary outcome will be assessed upon completion of the 24 week treatment period.
Secondary outcome [1] 348226 0
Assessment of MADRS score during the open-label study and for 4 weeks post-treatment.
Timepoint [1] 348226 0
MADRS score will be assessed 4-weekly for up to 24-weeks post treatment commencement.
