Abstract
The non-selective NMDA-receptor blockers ketamine and esketamine have been demonstrated efficacy in multiple clinical trials in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The use of those substances is limited due to high probability of psychotomimetic-like effects. The NR2B subunit is considered key in mediating the efficacy of ketamine. BI 1569912 is a novel negative allosteric modulator of NR2B-containing NMDA receptors under development for the treatment of MDD.
