Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Montgomery- Åsberg Depression Rating Scale(MADRS)8 WeeksChanges from baseline in the 10-items Montgomery- Åsberg Depression Scales (MADRS) total scores at the end of treatment. The MADRS has a 10-item checklist. Items are rated on a scale of 0-6, for a total score range of 0 (low severity of depressive symptoms) to 60 (high severity of depressive symptoms).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
17 items Hamilton Depression Scales (HAM-D17)8 WeeksChanges from baseline in the 17 items Hamilton Depression Scales (HAM-D17) total scores at the end of treatment. HAM-D17 is a standardized, clinician-administered rating scale that assesses 17 items characteristically associated with major depression (symptoms such as depressed mood, guilty feelings, suicide, sleep disturbances, anxiety levels, and weight loss). Nine items are scored on a 3 point scale (0=none/absent to 2=most severe) and 8 items are scored on a 5 point scale (0=none/absent to 4=most severe) for a maximum total score of 50; higher score indicates more depression.
