Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline to Week 8 in the Children's Depression Rating Scale, Revised (CDRS-R) Total ScoreBaseline and Week 8Clinician-rated interview-based scale (with both child and parent or guardian) to assess 17 distinct symptom areas to derive an index of depression severity. Discrepancies between informants' responses were resolved by using most impaired rating given by valid informant. Rated on a 7-point scale; range from 1 (no impairment) to 7 (indicates greater impairment). Total score calculated as sum of the 17 items (range 1 to 119); higher score indicates greater impairment. Adjusted mean presented.

Change From Baseline to Week 8 in the Children's Depression Rating Scale, Revised (CDRS-R) Total Score

Clinician-rated interview-based scale (with both child and parent or guardian) to assess 17 distinct symptom areas to derive an index of depression severity. Discrepancies between informants' responses were resolved by using most impaired rating given by valid informant. Rated on a 7-point scale; range from 1 (no impairment) to 7 (indicates greater impairment). Total score calculated as sum of the 17 items (range 1 to 119); higher score indicates greater impairment. Adjusted mean presented.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 8

Population: Intention-To-Treat (ITT) Population - included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug, had a baseline primary efficacy assessment, and had at least one post-baseline primary efficacy assessment.

Percentage of Participants With a CGI-I Response Defined as a Score of 'Very Much Improved' or 'Much Improved'

A 7-point clinician rated scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), or 3 (minimally improved) on the scale. Higher score = more affected.

Time frame: Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8
