Study Details

Study Description

The study will enroll up to 200 participants aged 18 to 74 years, inclusive with a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) confirmed primary diagnosis of GAD and a minimum HAM-A total score of at least 20 at Screening and Baseline without clinically relevant medical or psychiatric history.

The study consists of a 12-week randomized, double-blind, single-dose administration period evaluating MM120 versus placebo, followed by a 40-week extension phase with the opportunity for open-label treatment. During this phase, participants will be monitored and evaluated for potential treatment with MM120 based on pre-specified safety and symptom severity criteria.

Each item is scored on a scale of 0 (not present) to 4 (severe), with a total score range of 0-56, where \<17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate severity and 25-30 moderate to severe.
  4. Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) Scale score at each timepoint assessed during the 12-week double-blind period
    The CGI-I scale is used to measure the clinician's assessment of how much the participant's illness has improved or worsened relative to Baseline (Visit 2). The CGI-I comprises one item with 7 possible ratings (1-7 points), where a lower score indicates improvement, and a higher score indicates worsening.
  5. Change from Baseline throughout the 12-week double-blind period at each timepoint assessed in Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) Scale score
    The CGI-S scale assesses the clinician's impression of the participant's current severity of illness relative to the clinician's experience with patients who have the same diagnosis. The CGI-S comprises one item with 7 possible ratings (1-7 points), where a higher score indicates more severe illness.
  6. Change from Baseline throughout the 12-week double-blind period at each timepoint assessed in Patient Global Impression - Severity (PGI-S) Scale score

  7. Change from Baseline throughout the 12-week double-blind period at each timepoint assessed in -Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score
    The MADRS is used to assess depression severity and to detect changes due to antidepressant treatment. The MADRS includes 10 clinician-completed items. Each of the 10 questions is scored with a range of 0-6 points. An item score of 0 indicates item not present or normal, while an item score of 6 indicates severe or continuous presence of the symptoms. The total possible score is 60, and higher scores represent a more severe condition.
  8. Change from Baseline throughout the 12-week double-blind period at each timepoint assessed in -Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI)
    The WPAI-SHP is a 6-item questionnaire, with a recall period of the past 7 days. The WPAI measures impairments in both paid work and unpaid work. It measures absenteeism, presenteeism as well as impairment in unpaid activity because of the health problem under study.
  9. Change from Baseline throughout the 12-week double-blind period at each timepoint assessed in -EuroQol-5 Dimensions - 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L)
    The EuroQol 5 Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) is a self-reported outcome measure used to evaluate health outcomes over a wide range of health conditions and treatments. The EQ-5D consists of the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (VAS).
  10. Change from Baseline in the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (CSFQ-14) total score at each timepoint assessed during the double-blind period
