Exclusion Criteria

Participant answered "yes" to "suicidal ideation" Item 4 (active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan) or Item 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent) on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) assessment at the End of treatment (EO) Visit of Study SEP361-301 or SEP361-302.
Participant has a clinically significant abnormality including physical examination, vital signs, ECG, or laboratory test at the EOT Visit of Study SEP361-301 or SEP361-302 that the investigator in consultation with the medical monitor considers to be inappropriate to allow participation in the study.
Participant has a positive urine drug screen (UDS) at the EOT Visit of Study SEP361-301 or SEP361-302. However, a positive UDS test may not result in exclusion of participants if the Investigator determines that the positive test is as a result of prescription medicine(s). participants may enter this study before the urine drug screen results are received from the central laboratory. However, after receipt and review of the results any participant meeting this exclusion criterion must be discontinued from the study.
