Safety and Effectiveness Study of BCI-540 Versus Placebo in the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder With Concomitant Anxiety

BCI-540 has been shown to be neurogenic in the Sponsor's in vitro neural stem cell analyses and in vivo animal models of depression and anxiety. These observations and the recent findings linking hippocampal function and neurogenesis to mood disorders support the evaluation of the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of BCI-540 in patients with major depressive disorder with concomitant anxiety.
