Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change From Baseline to Day 42 in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HAM-D-17) Total Score
HAM-D-17 is a 17-item, clinician-administered rating scale to assess the severity of symptoms in participants diagnosed with depression. The HAM-D-17 comprises individual ratings related to the following symptoms: depressed mood (sadness, hopeless, helpless, worthless), feelings of guilt, suicide, insomnia (early, middle, late), work and activities, retardation (slowness of thought and speech; impaired ability to concentrate; decreased motor activity), agitation, anxiety (psychic and somatic), somatic symptoms (gastrointestinal and general), genital symptoms, hypochondriasis, loss of weight, and insight. HAM-D Total Scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating more severe depression.
