Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in Children Depression Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R) Total Score After Treatment

    The CDRS-R is a clinician-rated scale to measure the severity of depression of children and adolescents. The CDRS-R consists of 17 items: 14 items rate verbal observations, and three items rate nonverbal observations (tempo of language, hypoactivity, and nonverbal expression of depressed affect). Depression symptoms are rated on a 5-point scale from 1 to 5 for the verbal observations, and a 7-point scale from 1 to 7 for the nonverbal observations. The total score ranges from 17 (normal) to 113 (severe depression).

    From Randomization to Week 8

Secondary Outcomes (27)

  • Change in CDRS-R Total Score During Treatment (at Week 2)
