The goal of this observational study is to demonstrate effectiveness in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder The primary objective is to assess the effectiveness in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder using the CGI-I at the end of the treatment Participants will receive 10 treatments per day for 5 days (M-F) of SAINT®
This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label study. Up to 1000 adult subjects, in a major depressive episode, who have failed to receive satisfactory improvement from a prior antidepressant medication in the current episode, are eligible to participate in this study if they are deemed to be appropriate candidates for TMS. Overall study duration is expected to be approximately 4 years. The study duration per subject is anticipated to be approximately 1 year. Hypothesis: The SAINT® Neuromodulation System will demonstrate effectiveness in the treatment of MDD as measured by CGI-I at the end of the treatment (cessation of stimulation).

The SAINT® NMS utilizes a type of accelerated iTBS delivered to a personalized treatment target derived from a functional MRI scan. SAINT® was designed to optimize the individual patient response to treatment. This novel approach to TMS is accomplished by focusing on three critical aspects of the treatment that drive effect. These aspects are personalized stimulation target, total course dose of stimulation, and neurophysiologically relevant stimulation pattern.

Mean Clinical Global Impression Improvement Scale (CGI-I) score at the end of treatment (Day 5 SAINT® therapy)
Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) score is based on a scale from zero (0) - Not Assessed to seven (7) Very Much Worse with lower scores showing improvement and higher scores showing little or no improvement.
Time frame: End of Stimulation Day 5
Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score change from baseline to cessation of stimulation in comparison with bioimaging assessments MADRS score change from baseline to cessation of stimulation in comparison with bioimaging assessments
The rating is based on a clinical interview. Questions are asked using scales from zero (0) to six (6) with lower scores showing a better outcome and higher scores showing a worse outcome
Time frame: Baseline to End Stimulation Day 5
Cambridge Brain Science Tools assessment score change in comparison with change in MADRS scores from baseline to cessation of stimulation
Assess aspects of cognition including reasoning, memory, attention and verbal ability on an online platform. Scores are automatically calculated on a scale from zero (0) to one hundred (100) and zero (0) to negative one hundred (-100) with positive numbers being associated with "Best" and negative numbers being associated with "Worst"
Time frame: Baseline to End of Stimulation Day 5
To test the durability of the antidepressant effect by assessing the Clinical Global Impression Severity Scale (CGI-S) after cessation of stimulation
The Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) is a brief clinician assessment that rates the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis. Score is based on a scale from zero (0) - Not Assessed to seven (7) Very Much Worse with lower scores showing improvement and higher scores showing little or no improvement.
