Primary outcomes

  1. Part A: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. For Part A, a TEAE was defined as an AE with onset after the first dose of SAGE-217.

    Time frame: Up to 52 Weeks

  2. Part B: Number of Participants With TEAEs

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. For Part B, a TEAE was defined as an AE with onset on or after the first dose of SAGE-217 in MDD-303B for the participants who received placebo + ADT in parent study, or an AE with onset on or after the ICF signoff in MDD-303B for the participants who received SAGE-217 + ADT in parent study.

    Time frame: Up to 46 Weeks

  3. Part A: Number of Participants With Suicidal Ideation (SI) or Suicidal Behavior (SB) as Assessed by the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)

    C-SSRS scale consisted of a baseline evaluation that assessed lifetime experience as well as past 24-month experience of participants for SI and SB and a postbaseline evaluation that focused on suicidality since last study visit. C-SSRS included "yes" or "no"' responses for assessment of SI and SB as well as numeric ratings for severity of ideation, if present. The C-SSRS SI items included: 1. wish to be dead, 2. non-specific active suicidal thoughts, 3. active SI with any methods, 4. active SI with some intent, and 5. active SI with a specific plan (5 being the most severe). C-SSRS SB items included 1. preparatory acts or behavior, 2. aborted attempt, 3. interrupted attempt, 4. actual attempt (non-fatal), and 5. completed suicide (5 being worst). Participants with at least one SI question answered Yes or at least one SB question answered Yes post-baseline for the specific period is counted under SI or SB respectively.

    Time frame: Baseline up to 52 Weeks (Study Period 1-5)

The C-SSRS SI items included: 1. wish to be dead, 2. non-specific active suicidal thoughts, 3. active SI with any methods, 4. active SI with some intent, and 5. active SI with a specific plan (5 being the most severe). C-SSRS SB items included 1. preparatory acts or behavior, 2. aborted attempt, 3. interrupted attempt, 4. actual attempt (non-fatal), and 5. completed suicide (5 being worst). Participants with at least one SI question answered Yes or at least one SB question answered Yes post-baseline for the specific period is counted under SI or SB respectively.
