Trial Outcomes & Findings for Short Term Rescue Study of Olanzapine (NCT NCT00186017)

NCT ID: NCT00186017

Last Updated: 2017-05-16

Results Overview

The Clinical Global Impression - bipolar version - overall severity scale (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis. Considering total clinical experience, a patient is assessed on severity of mental illness at the time of rating 1, normal, not ill; 2, minimally ill; 3, mildly ill; 4, moderately ill; 5, markedly ill; 6, severely ill; or 7, very severely ill

The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) scale has 11 items and is based on the patient's subjective report of his or her clinical condition over the previous 48 hours. Responses to each item are summed with a higher score indicating more mania symptoms endorsed. Scale:0-60 0=Good 60=Bad

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scales (MADRS) is a multi-item clinician tool assessing depression. Each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. Higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression.

The HAM-A was one of the first rating scales developed to measure the severity of anxiety symptoms, and is still widely used today in both clinical and research settings. The scale consists of 14 items, each defined by a series of symptoms, and measures both psychic anxiety (mental agitation and psychological distress) and somatic anxiety (physical complaints related to anxiety). The HAM-A does not provide any standardized probe questions. Despite this,the reported levels of interrater reliability for the scale appear to be acceptable. Each item is scored on a scale of 0 (not present) to 4 (severe), with a total score range of 0-56, where \<17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate severity and 25-30 moderate to severe.
