Percentage of Remitters Based on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) at Week 4
The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM D)contains 17 questions which detect change and measure illness severity. Individual items are rated on a scale of 0-4, 0-3, and 0-2 with total HAM D score range from 0 (not ill) to 53 (severely ill). Remitters are defined as subjects with a HAM D total score of \</= 7.
Time frame: Week 4
Population: Full Analysis Set consisted of all subjects in the safety population who had baseline and at least on post-baseline efficacy data and met the objectively-measured major eligibility criteria. Last observation carried forward method for missing data.

Percentage of Responders Based on the Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement Score (CGI-I)at Week 4 and Week 8
The CGI-I assesses the investigator's impression of the patient's current illness. The time span is the week before the rating and the score ranges from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Responders are subjects that have a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on the CGI-I.
