Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Baseline in Montgomery-Ă…sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score

    The MADRS is a depression rating scale consisting of 10 items, each rated 0 (normal) to 6 (most abnormal). The 10 items represent the core symptoms of depressive illness. The overall score ranges from 0 (symptoms absent) to 60 (severe depression). A decrease in the total score or on individual items indicates improvement. Least squares (LS) means are from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) with treatment, center, week, treatment-by-week interaction, Baseline MADRS total score-by-week as fixed effects.

    Baseline and Week 8

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Percentage of Participants With a MADRS Response at Week 8

    Baseline and Week 8

  • Mean Clinical Global Impression Scale-Improvement (CGI-I) Score at Week 8

    Week 8

  • Change From Baseline in MADRS Total Score at Week 8 in Participants With Baseline Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) Total Score ≥20

    Baseline and Week 8

  • Percentage of Participants in MADRS Remission at Week 8

    Week 8

  • Change From Baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total Score at Week 8
