Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score

    MADRS was used to assess depressive symptomatology during the past week. Patients are rated on 10 items to assess feelings of sadness, lassitude, pessimism, inner tension, suicidality, reduced sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, and lack of interest. Each item of the 10 items are scored on a 7-point scale. A score of 0 indicates the absence of symptoms,and a score of 6 indicates symptoms of maximum severity. The total MADRS score for this measure ranges from 0 (absence of symptoms) to 60 (maximum severity).

    From Baseline to Week 8
