1. Established diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) as confirmed at the time of screening by the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), with a duration of current depressive episode ≥ 8 weeks and ≤ 24 months at the time of screening visit.
2. At least moderate severity of MDD confirmed by a trained site-based rater, at screening and Visit 2 day 1 (i.e. prior to randomisation). For patients who are not on an SSRI at Visit 1, MDD must be confirmed additionally at Visit 1 A.
3. In the current episode, patients have shown insufficient treatment response (defined by less than 50 % response to one or more antidepressant drugs of adequate dose and treatment duration (according to Summary of Product Characteristics) as evaluated by Antidepressant Treatment Response Questionnaire (ATRQ). Participants, who, in addition to their monotherapy with an SSRI/SNRI, are taking additional low dose antidepressant medications for purposes other than treating depressive symptoms, are not excluded. The dose must be less than the lowest dose indicated for MDD. Use of bupropion is not allowed.
4. Documented ongoing monotherapy treatment of ≥ 6 weeks at randomisation (i.e. Visit 2 day 1) with a protocol specified Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) or Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors (SNRI) at adequate dose (according to ATRQ assessment). sampling at Visit 1). Patients who are not on an SSRI at Visit 1 will undergo a lead in phase as described in the Flow Chart. Patients who meet all the eligibility criteria but are not on an SSRI/SNRI at Visit 1, will have the option to undergo a 6 week open label lead in phase with SSRI/SNRI. These patients will be reassessed at Visit 1A to determine eligibility to be randomized to the trial.
5. Male or female patients, aged 18 to 65 years at screening. If Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) are included, they have to be able and willing to use two methods of contraception which include one highly effective method of birth control per ICH M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1 %, plus one additional barrier method. If men who are able to father a child, are willing to participate, they have to use an adequate form of effective contraception for the duration of study participation and for at least 28 days after treatment has ended.
6. Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH-GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial. Please note complete sexual abstinence is allowed when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient (note: periodic abstinence such as calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception) - (in this specific case the barrier methods, as mentioned below, are not applicable). Sexual abstinence as a contraceptive method will not be allowed for WOCBP who are heterosexually active.

4. Patients with a Body Mass Index (weight \[kg\]/height \[m\]²) lower than 18 kg/m² at screening.
5. Diagnosis of a moderate to severe substance-related disorder within the last 6 months before screening visit (with exception of caffeine and tobacco).
