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)

PLACEBO COMPARATORInterventions
25 mg tablet, once daily dosing for 8 weeks
Matching placebo tablets (25 or 50 mg). Daily dosing for 10 +/- 4 days during a placebo lead-in period, and then 8 weeks during the double-blind period.
