Summary

Depression with ongoing insomnia is a common clinical presentation with patients. Clinical data suggests that patients with insomnia that receive concomitant treatment with a sleep aid experience a more robust antidepressant response along with a quicker response. The purpose of this clinical study is to compare the effectiveness of the FDA-approved insomnia medication suvorexant, also known as Belsomra®, as add-on treatment to an antidepressant to that of placebo plus antidepressant treatment in patients with depression and residual or ongoing insomnia.
