Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)Baseline, Day 28, Day 56, Day 84, Day 112, Day 140, Day 168, Day 196, Day 244, Day 252, Day 280, Day 301; additional assessments at Day -15, Day -1, Day 2, Day 10, Day 17, Day 21, Day 23, Day 31, Day 42 if non-response or relapse criteria metThe MADRS is a 10-item scale with ratings based on a clinical interview which moves from broadly phrased questions about symptoms to more detailed ones allowing a precise rating of severity. The scale consists of ten items rated on a scale from 0 to 6, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 (normal / symptom absent) to 60 (severe depression).
