Conditions

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

Brief summary

Change in severity of depression measured as change in the HDRS-17 between baseline and endpoint, Rates of remission (HDRS≤7) at endpoint

Detailed description

Change in severity (IDS-30SR) Change in severity of depression measured as change in the IDS-30SR score [Time Frame: T0 -> T6 (12 weeks)], Response rate (HDRS-17) Rates of response (50% reduction in HDRS score from baseline) or partial response (25% reduction) at endpoint [Time Frame: T0 -> T6 (12 weeks)], Sleep (PSQI) [Time Frame: T0 -> T6 (12 weeks)], Anxiety (STAI) [Time Frame: T0 -> T6 (12 weeks)], Metabolic outcomes BMI, waist circumference, triglyceride, cholesterol, HDL and LDL levels, and fasting glucose [Time Frame: T0 -> T6 (12 weeks)], Symptom profiles (IDS-SR) [Time Frame: T0 -> T6 (12 weeks)], Therapy compliance (MARS) [Time Frame: T0 -> T6 (12 weeks)], Adverse effects [Time Frame: T0 -> T6 (12 weeks)], biomarker outcomes: cytokine concentrations, oxidative stress and metabolic markers, Core assessment of psychomotor change (CORE) [Time Frame: T0 -> T6 (12 weeks)]
