Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Discontinuations due to adverse events or adverse events occurring during and after the discontinuation of trial medication

    Weekly

  • The nature, incidence, duration, and severity of adverse events.

    Weekly

  • Suicide related adverse events will be further assessed using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale as needed

    As needed

  • The primary outcome is safety which will be assessed throughout the 6-months by physical exams, monitoring of vital signs, body weight changes, and clinical safety laboratory

    Screening, Baseline, Wk 4, Wk 14, Wk 26/EOT, & at FU; Vital signs at every vist

  • Electrocardiograms will be performed to assess any changes in cardiac functioning related to the compound

    Screening, Baseline, Wk 4, Wk 15 & Wk 26/EOT

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Symptom severity of generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) will be measured by the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A).

    Screening, Baseline, Wk 1-2, Wk 4, Wk 14, Wk 26/EOT & Wk 27 (FU)

  • Overall Health Care utilization will be assessed with the Health Care Utilization (HCU) questionnaire.

    Twice at Wk 13 and Wk 26/EOT

  • Also, the Daily Diary (including the Daily assessment of Symptoms DAS-A and Global Anxiety - Visual Analog Scale (GA-VAS) and the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) will be used to assess symptoms of GAD.

    Screening, Baseline, Wk 1-2, Wk 4, Wk 14, Wk 26/EOT

  • Plasma concentrations will be collected to evaluate the population pharmacokinetics and the dose/exposure relationships for safety and efficacy .
