Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Montgomery-Ă…sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score Change From Baseline to Week 4.

    MADRS total score, sum of 10 item scores (each on a 0 (best value) to 6 (worst value)scale), assesses the severity of depressive symptoms on a continuous scale from 0 (the best) to 60 (the worst). Change from baseline was calculated as Week 4 value minus baseline value. \[observed cases, Mixed Model Repeated Measurement (MMRM), Full Analysis Set (FAS)\]

    Baseline, Week 4

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Montgomery-Ă…sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Response

    Week 4

  • Montgomery-Ă…sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Remission

    Week 4

  • Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) Total Score Change From Baseline to Week 4.

    Baseline, Week 4

  • Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) Score Change From Baseline

    Baseline, Week 4

  • Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAM-A) Total Score Change From Baseline

    Baseline, Week 4

Study Arms (3)

AZD7268

EXPERIMENTAL

The AZD7268 15 mg BID arm consisted of 3 AZD7268 5 mg capsules dosed orally in the morning and evening. In addition, 2 placebo tablets to match encapsulated escitalopram tablets were dosed orally in the morning only.

Drug: AZD7268Drug: Placebo tablets

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The placebo arm consisted of 3 placebo capsules to match AZD7268 capsules dosed orally in the morning and evening. In addition, 2 placebos to match encapsulated escitalopram tablets were dosed orally in the morning only.

Drug: Placebo capsulesDrug: Placebo tablets

Escitalopram

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The escitalopram 20 mg QD arm consisted of 3 placebo to match AZD7268 capsules dosed orally in the morning and evening. In addition, during Week 1, one encapsulated 10-mg escitalopram tablet and 1 placebo to match encapsulated escitalopram tablet were dosed orally in the morning only. During Weeks 2 through 4, two encapsulated 10-mg escitalopram tablets were dosed orally in the morning only.

Drug: EscitalopramDrug: Placebo capsules
