Change From Baseline (End of Phase A [Week 8]) to Week 14 in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score for the Efficacy Sample.Baseline and Week 14The MADRS consists of 10 items, all rated on a 0 to 6 scale with 0 being the best rating and 6 being the worst rating. The MADRS total score is the sum of ratings for all 10 items. The possible total scores are from 0 to 60. The MADRS total score will be un-evaluable if less than 8 of the 10 items are recorded. If 8 or 9 of the 10 items are recorded, the MADRS total score will be the mean of the recorded items multiplied by 10 and then rounded to the first decimal place.

Besides item 9, two sub-items 9A and 9B exist, with possible scores of 1, 2 or 3 for item 9A, and 0 or 1 for item 9B. The scores for these two sub-items are not included in the calculation of the total score. Item 11 or item 12 should be completed but not both, and similarly, item 13 or item 14 should be completed but not both. Should items 11 and 12 be rated both, then the maximum of the two scores will be used. The same approach will be used for handling items 13 and 14.

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline (End of Phase A [Week 8]) to Week 14 in MADRS Total Score for the Efficacy Sample Per the Final Protocol.

The MADRS consists of 10 items, all rated on a 0 to 6 scale with 0 being the best rating and 6 being the worst rating. The MADRS total score is the sum of ratings for all 10 items. The possible total scores are from 0 to 60. The MADRS total score will be un-evaluable if less than 8 of the 10 items are recorded. If 8 or 9 of the 10 items are recorded, the MADRS total score will be the mean of the recorded items multiplied by 10 and then rounded to the first decimal place.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 14

Population: All participants in the Efficacy Sample who met the revised randomization criteria for incomplete response as defined in Protocol Amendment 3.

Change From Baseline (End of Phase A [Week 8]) to Week 14 in CGI-S Scale Score for the Efficacy Sample Per the Final Protocol.

Items on CGI-S scale are: 0 = not assessed, 1 = normal, not at all ill, 2 = borderline mentally ill, 3 = mildly ill, 4 = moderately ill, 5 = markedly ill, 6 = severely ill, 7 = among the most extremely ill patients. The score 0 (= not assessed) will be set to missing. The CGI-S is therefore a 7-point scale from 1 through 7.

Time frame: Week 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14

For all of these items, 0 is the best rating and 4 is the worst rating. If no item scores are missing, then the HAM-A total score is the sum of all 14 item scores. The possible total scores are from 0 to 56, with higher scores indicating worse anxiety symptoms.

Change From Baseline (End of Phase A [Week 8]) to Week 14 in the IDS-SR Total Score for the Efficacy Sample Per the Final Protocol.

The IDS-SR consists of 30 items, all rated on a 0 to 3 scale with 0 being the best rating and 3 being the worst rating. Besides item 9, two sub-items 9A and 9B exist, with possible scores of 1, 2 or 3 for item 9A, and 0 or 1 for item 9B. The scores for these two sub-items are not included in the calculation of the total score. Item 11 or item 12 should be completed but not both, and similarly, item 13 or item 14 should be completed but not both. Should items 11 and 12 be rated both, then the maximum of the two scores will be used. The same approach will be used for handling items 13 and 14. The IDS-SR total score is the sum of ratings of 28 item scores. The possible IDS-SR total score ranges from 0 to 84.

Change From Baseline (End of Phase A [Week 8]) to Week 14 in the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (Self-Report) (IDS-SR) Total Score for the Efficacy Sample.

The IDS-SR consists of 30 items, all rated on a 0 to 3 scale with 0 being the best rating and 3 being the worst rating. Besides item 9, two sub-items 9A and 9B exist, with possible scores of 1, 2 or 3 for item 9A, and 0 or 1 for item 9B. The scores for these two sub-items are not included in the calculation of the total score. Item 11 or item 12 should be completed but not both, and similarly, item 13 or item 14 should be completed but not both. Should items 11 and 12 be rated both, then the maximum of the two scores will be used. The same approach will be used for handling items 13 and 14. The IDS-SR total score is the sum of ratings of 28 item scores. The possible IDS-SR total score ranges from 0 to 84.

Time frame: Week 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14

Population: The Efficacy Sample comprised of all participants in the Safety Sample who had an end of Phase A (i.e, Week 8) value and at least one post-randomization efficacy evaluation for MADRS total score in Phase B.

Mean CGI-I Scale Score (End of Phase A [Week 8]) to Week 14 by Trial Week for the Efficacy Sample Per the Final Protocol.

The items on CGI-I scale are: 0 = not assessed, 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse, 7 = very much worse. The score of 0 (= not assessed) will be set to missing. The CGI-I is therefore a 7-point scale from 1 through 7. The CGI-I was measured in related to Baseline (Week 8).

Time frame: Week 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14

Population: All participants in the efficacy sample who met the revised randomization criteria for incomplete response as defined in protocol amendment 3. The LOCF data set included data recorded at a Phase B visit, if no observation was recorded, data was carried forward from the previous visit.

Mean Change From Baseline (End of Phase A [Week 8]) to Week 14 in SDS Score for the Efficacy Sample Per the Final Protocol

The SDS is a self-rated instrument used to measure the effect of the patient's symptoms on work/school, social life, and family/home responsibilities. For each of the three items, scores range from 0 through 10. The number most representative of how much each area was disrupted by symptoms is marked along the line from 0 = not at all, to 10 = extremely. For the work/school item, no response was to be entered if the patient did not work or go to school for reasons unrelated to the disorder and a response therefore not being applicable. The Mean SDS Score will be calculated over the three item scores. All three item scores need to be available with the exception of the work/school item score when this item is not applicable.
