AbstractBackgroundInnovative therapies to treat individuals with MDD, especially those with comorbid anxiety, are urgently needed.AXS-05 (dextromethorphan HBr 45 mg-bupropion HCl 105 mg) is a novel, oral, investigational NMDA receptor antagonist with multimodal activity. The dextromethorphan component of AXS-05 is an NMDA receptor antagonist and a sigma-1 receptor agonist. The bupropion...

AbstractBackgroundIn STAR*D, following non-remission with an SSRI, remission rates for second-line treatments were ~ 25%, regardless of the switch strategy employed. Antidepressants with novel mechanisms may improve outcomes in MDD. AXS-05 (dextromethorphan HBr 45 mg- bupropion HCl 105 mg) is a novel, oral, investigational, NMDA receptor antagonist with multimodal activity. The dextromethorphan...

AbstractBackgroundAXS-05 (dextromethorphan-bupropion) is a novel, oral, investigational, NMDA receptor antagonist with multimodal activity being developed for MDD. The dextromethorphan component of AXS-05 is an NMDA receptor antagonist and a sigma-1 receptor agonist. The bupropion component of AXS-05 serves primarily to increase the bioavailability of dextromethorphan.MethodsAXS-05 was...
