Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time From Randomization to Relapse of Major Depressive Disorder During the First 28 Weeks of the 32-Week Double-Blind Treatment Period

    Relapse was defined as either 1) MADRS Score ≥22, 2) lack of efficacy as determined by the investigator or 3) other unsatisfactory treatment response judged by the investigator. Time to relapse was defined as date of relapse - date of randomization + 1 (where date of relapse is the date of last dose, or date of last contact if date of last dose is missing, for participant with a relapse). Participants without relapse were censored at date of withdrawal or date of Week 28 visit, whichever was earliest. MADRS is a 10-item clinician rated scale to measure overall severity of depressive symptoms (i.e., apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, etc.) rated on a 7-point Likert scale from 0 (normal) to 6 (most abnormal) with a total score ranges from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate greater severity of symptoms. The inter-quartile range (IQR) was 25th percentile to 75th percentile.

    From date of double-blind randomization (Week 16) up to relapse or first 28 weeks of Double-blind Period which occurs first (Up to Week 44)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

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

    Double-blind Baseline (BL) II and Double-blind Period: Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, and 32

  • Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity (CGI-S) Score at Each Week Assessed

    Double-blind Baseline (BL) II and Double-blind Period: Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, and 32

  • Clinical Global Impression Scale-Global Improvement Scale (CGI-I) Score

    Week 32

  • Time From Randomization to Relapse of Major Depressive Disorder During the Entire 32-Week Double-Blind Treatment Period

    From date of double-blind randomization (Week 16) up to relapse or 32 weeks of Double-blind Period which occurs first (Up to Week 44)

Study Arms (5)

Open-label: Vortioxetine 10 mg

EXPERIMENTAL

Vortioxetine 10 mg, capsules, orally, once, daily (QD) up to 8 weeks. Participants who achieved response (defined as a ≥50% reduction in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score from Baseline) continued to receive vortioxetine 10 mg, capsules, orally, QD for up to Week 16 (stabilization period) in the Open-label Period.

Drug: Vortioxetine

Double-blind: Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Following Open-label Period, participants who achieved remission criteria (defined as MADRS total score ≤12 at Weeks 14 and 16) were randomized to receive vortioxetine placebo-matching capsules, orally, QD from Week 17 up to Week 44 in the Double-blind Period.

Drug: Placebo

Double-blind: Vortioxetine 5 mg

EXPERIMENTAL

Following Open-label Period, participants who achieved remission criteria (defined as MADRS total score ≤12 at Weeks 14 and 16) were randomized to receive vortioxetine 5 mg, capsules, orally, QD from Week 17 up to Week 44 in the Double-blind Period.

Drug: Vortioxetine

Double-blind: Vortioxetine 10 mg

EXPERIMENTAL

Following Open-label Period, participants who achieved remission criteria (defined as MADRS total score ≤12 at Weeks 14 and 16) were randomized to receive vortioxetine 10 mg, capsules, orally, QD from Week 17 up to Week 44 in the Double-blind Period.

Drug: Vortioxetine

Double-blind: Vortioxetine 20 mg

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Following Open-label Period, participants who achieved remission criteria (defined as MADRS total score ≤12 at Weeks 14 and 16) were randomized to receive vortioxetine 20 mg, capsules, orally, QD from Week 17 up to Week 44 in the Double-blind Period.
