Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change From Baseline to Day 42 in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HAM-D-17) Total Score
HAM-D-17 is a 17-item, clinician-administered rating scale to assess the severity of symptoms in participants diagnosed with depression. The HAM-D-17 comprises individual ratings related to the following symptoms: depressed mood (sadness, hopeless, helpless, worthless), feelings of guilt, suicide, insomnia (early, middle, late), work and activities, retardation (slowness of thought and speech; impaired ability to concentrate; decreased motor activity), agitation, anxiety (psychic and somatic), somatic symptoms (gastrointestinal and general), genital symptoms, hypochondriasis, loss of weight, and insight. HAM-D Total Scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating more severe depression.
Secondary outcomes
Change From Baseline to Day 42 in Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S)
The CGI-S is a clinician-administered rating scale to assess the severity of the participant's illness at the time of the assessment relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis. Scores range from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating more severe illness.
