NCT ID: NCT00105196

Last Updated: 2013-12-02

Results Overview

Mean change from Week 8 (baseline) to Week 14 in MADRS total score, a 10-item, ordinal rating scale (0=no symptoms; 60=most severe symptoms). Change from baseline=postbaseline score - baseline score. A negative change score indicates improvement.

Participant Flow

After initial screening period (7-28 days), subjects enrolled into an 8-wk prospective treatment phase (single-blind placebo plus an investigator-assigned, open-label, marketed antidepressant therapy \[ADT\]). Patients who met criteria for incomplete response at the end of this phase were randomized into the 6-wk double-blind phase in a 1:1 ratio.
