After two weeks of treatment with SAGE-217, 45% of patients achieved remission (HAMD-17 <7) compared with 23% of patients who received placebo (p=0.0122); at the end of the four-week follow-up, 53% of patients receiving SAGE-217 achieved remission compared with 30% of patients who received placebo (p=0.0102).
"These are strong and consistent data demonstrating a rapid, stable, and clinically meaningful improvement in PPD depressive symptoms in the SAGE-217 treatment group compared to placebo," said Jeff Jonas, M.D., chief executive officer of Sage. "This is our fifth consecutive positive study in mood disorders with our investigational medicines that utilize our innovative approach to GABA receptor modulation. Data from the ROBIN Study, along with earlier data from our studies with ZULRESSO in PPD and SAGE-217 in major depressive disorder, all point to the promise that our approach may hold - not only in changing the way PPD and MDD are treated, but also in potentially improving the lives of patients suffering from these mood disorders. The team at Sage has shown what rethinking CNS really means."
