Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change From Baseline to 8 Week Endpoint in Montgomery-Äsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)Baseline, 8 WeeksThe MADRS total score is the sum of the 10 items; therefore the possible MADRS total score ranges from 0 to 60. A higher MADRS total score indicates a greater severity of depressive symptoms. Least square means (LSM) change from baseline, standard error was derived using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) methodology with factors for treatment, Pooled Investigator, Visit, (Baseline + Treatment)\*Visit.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change From Baseline to 8 Week Endpoint in the Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS)Baseline, 8 WeeksSAS scale consists of 10 items including 7 items that address bradykinesia-rigidity and additional single items for tremor, glabellar tap,and salivation. Each item represents a specific physical condition and is rated on a 5-point category rating scale ranging from 0 (complete absence of the condition) to 4 (the condition is present to an extreme degree).The total score is obtained by adding the scores for the 10 individual items making the maximum possible score is 40. Higher scores are indicative of more severe Parkinsonian-type symptoms.
Mean Change From Baseline to 8 Week Endpoint in the Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36)Baseline, 8 WeeksSF-36, version 2 is a generic participant-rated questionnaire and consists of 36 questions covering the following 8 health domains (subscales): general health, role limitations because of physical problems, role limitations due to emotional problems, physical functioning, bodily pain, mental health, social functioning, and vitality. Each subscale is scored by summing the individual items and transforming the scores into a 0 to 100 scale, with higher scores indicating better health status or functioning. Two summary scores, the physical component summary (PCS) and the mental component summary (MCS) were constructed based on the eight SF-36 subscales. Both PCS and MCS range from 0-100 with higher scores indicating better health or functioning.
Mean Change From Baseline to 8 Week Endpoint in the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS)Baseline, 8 WeeksSDS consists of 3 items (work/school, social life/leisure activities, and family life/home responsibilities). Total scores range from 0 to 30 with higher values indicating greater disruption. Individual Item scores range from 0 to 10 with higher values indicating greater disruption.
Mean Change From Baseline to 8 Week Endpoint in Clinical Global Impressions-Severity of Depression (CGI-S) ScaleBaseline, 8 WeeksCGI-S scale measures severity of illness at the time of assessment compared with start of treatment. Scores range from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill participants). The LS mean (LSM) change from baseline, standard error was derived using MMRM methodology with factors for treatment , Pooled Investigator , Visit , (Baseline + Treatment)\*Visit.
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Remission Based on MADRS Total Score ≤10 at 8 WeeksBaseline, 8 WeeksThe MADRS consists of 10 items with each item rated on a scale ranging from 0 to 6. Fixed descriptors appear along the scale for each item at points 0, 2, 4, and 6, to standardize the gradation of response along the scale. The MADRS total score is the sum of the 10 items; therefore the possible MADRS total score ranges from 0 to 60. A higher MADRS total score indicates a greater severity of depressive symptoms.
Mean Change From Baseline to 8 Week Endpoint in the Barnes Akathisia Scale (BAS)Baseline, 8 WeeksBAS is used to rate observable, restless movements of drug induced akathisia and the subjective awareness of restlessness and any distress associated with the akathisia. The BAS consists of the following 3 items: an objective assessment of akathisia symptoms; a subjective assessment of the patient's awareness of inner restlessness; and a global clinical assessment of akathisia. The first two items are rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (no abnormal movements or the absence of inner restlessness) to 3 (severe akathisia or the awareness of intense compulsion to move most of the time). The last item, the global clinical assessment of akathisia, is rated on a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 (no evidence of akathisia) to 5 (severe akathisia). Total BAS score ranges from 0 to 14 with a higher score representing worse results.
Mean Change From Baseline to 8 Week Endpoint in the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS)Baseline, 8 WeeksAIMS is a 12-item scale. Items 1 to 8 are rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (no dyskinetic movements) to 4 (severe dyskinetic movements). Item 9 assesses the participant's incapacitation due to abnormal movements, and item 10 assesses the participant's awareness of the abnormal movements and associated distress. Items 9 and 10 are rated on 5-point scales ranging from 0 (none or no awareness) to 4 (severe or aware, severe distress). Items 11 and 12 are yes/no questions regarding the dental status of the participant. The total score is the sum of the scores for the 12 items and the possible total score ranges from 0 to 42. A higher total score is indicative of more severe dyskinetic movements.
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve a Response Based on a ≥50% Reduction From Baseline in MADRS Total ScoreBaseline,8 WeeksThe MADRS total score is the sum of the 10 items; therefore the possible MADRS total score ranges from 0 to 60. A higher MADRS total score indicates a greater severity of depressive symptoms.
