Have a minimum score of 26 on the rater-administered Montgomery-Asberg depression rating scale (MADRS) and a minimum score of 24 on the computer-administered MADRS at both Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Baseline).
Have a difference of no greater than 7 points between the rater-administered MADRS and computer-administered MADRS at both Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Baseline).
Have a clinical global impression-severity (CGI-S) score ≥ 4 at both Visit 1 (Screening) and Visit 2 (Baseline).
Have a negative serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) pregnancy test if a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP).

Male participants willing to minimize the risk of inducing pregnancy for the duration of the clinical study and follow-up period. A male participant must agree to use contraception as detailed in Appendix 5 of this protocol during the treatment period and for at least 5 terminal half-lives after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period.
