Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HAM-D-17) ≥19 at Screening and Check-in (Day -1).~7. BMI between 18.0 and 35.0 kg/m2, inclusive, and a minimum weight of 50.0 kg.~8.

Must be able to read, speak, and understand English and must provide written informed consent prior to the initiation of any protocol-specific procedures.~Exclusion Criteria:~1. History or presence of clinically significant abnormality as assessed by physical examination, medical history, 12-lead ECG, vital signs, or laboratory values, which in the opinion of the Investigator would jeopardize the safety of the patient or the validity of the study results, including torsades de pointes, any bradyarrhythmias, or uncompensated heart failure.~2. Chronic use of prescribed opioids (i.e., \>120 days in a 6-month period) up to 6 months prior to Screening or any recreational use of opioids.~3. Evidence of clinically significant hepatic or renal impairment, including ALT or AST \>1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), bilirubin \>1 x ULN, or endocrine laboratory values (including clinically significant thyroid parameters, i.e., thyroid stimulating hormone \[TSH\], triiodothyronine \[T3\], and thyroxine \[T4\]).~4. History or family history of sudden unexplained death or long QT syndrome (measure of the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle).~5. Any 12-lead ECG with repeated demonstration of QTc ≥450 msec or a QRS interval \>120 msec at Screening.~6. History of clinically diagnosed hypotension requiring treatment.~7. History or presence of any condition in which an opioid is contraindicated (e.g., significant respiratory depression, acute or severe bronchial asthma or hypercarbia, bronchitis, or has/is suspected of having paralytic ileus).~8. No more than 3 prescribed doses of an opioid within the 6 months prior to Screening and no use at all within the last month.~9. Use of an antipsychotic, anticonvulsant, or mood stabilizer, regardless of indication, within the 3 months prior to Screening.~10. History of allergy or hypersensitivity to methadone or related drugs (e.g., opioids).~11. Positive test for hepatitis B or HIV. Patients with a positive hepatitis C test may be considered for inclusion with approval from the Medical Monitor.~12.

Any lifetime history of bipolar I or II disorder, any psychotic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorder, intellectual disability, or pervasive developmental disorder.~14. History in the past 12 months of a primary diagnosis of anxiety disorder or panic disorder not related to the current MDE.~15. Current diagnosis of alcohol or substance use disorder, as defined by DSM-5, at Screening or within the 12 months prior to Screening. Patients with the following diagnoses within the past 12 months, however, may be included at the Investigator's discretion: mild alcohol use disorder, mild cannabis use disorder, and any severity tobacco use disorder.~16. A confirmed positive result on the urine drug/alcohol screen at Screening or Check-in. If the urine drug/alcohol screen is positive at Screening, retesting or rescreening may be scheduled with prior approval from the Medical Monitor.~17. Patients who, in the Investigator's judgment, are at significant risk for suicide. A patient with a Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) ideation score of 4 or 5 within the last 6 months or any suicide attempt within the past year must be excluded, as should a patient with an ideation score of 4 or 5 or any suicide attempt at the Check-in or Baseline Visit.~18.

Patients with any clinically significant neurological, hepatic, renal, metabolic, hematological, immunological, cardiovascular, pulmonary, chronic pain, or gastrointestinal disorder. Medical conditions that are minor or well-controlled may be permitted if they will not increase the safety risk to the patient or compromise interpretation of the safety or efficacy endpoints.~23. Patients taking fluvoxamine or St. John's Wort.~24. Patients who have participated in a clinical study with an investigational medication in the past 6 months, or who have participated in more than 4 clinical studies with investigational medications in the past 2 years.
