Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Baseline in HAM-D17 Total Score at the Final On-therapy (FOT)Evaluation (Week 8 or ET)

    HAM-D17: a standardized, clinician-administered rating scale that assesses 17 items characteristically associated with major depression. Items are scored on either a 3 point (0 to 2) or a 5 point scale (0 to 4), with 0=none/absent and 4=most severe, for a maximum total score of 50.

    Baseline and Week 8 (or ET)

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Number of Participants With Categorical Scores on CGI-Improvement (CGI-I) at FOT Evaluation (Week 8 or ET)

    Week 8 (or ET)

  • Change From Baseline in Mean CGI-S Score at FOT Evaluation (Week 8 or ET)

    Baseline and Week 8 (or ET)

  • Change From Baseline in MADRS Total Score at FOT Evaluation (Week 8 or ET)

    Baseline and Week 8 (or ET)

  • Change From Baseline in HAM-D6 Total Score at FOT Evaluation (Week 8 or ET)

    Baseline and Week 8 (or ET)

  • Number of Participants With a Response on the HAM-D17 at FOT Evaluation (Week 8 or ET)

    Week 8 (or ET)

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (6)

  • Population Pharmacokinetics for Desvenlafaxine Plasma Concentrations

    Week 2, 4 and 8 (or ET)

  • Change From Baseline in SDS at FOT Evaluation (Week 8 or ET)
