Trial Outcomes & Findings for Open-Label Study of Duloxetine in the Treatment of Children and Adolescents With Major Depressive Disorder (NCT NCT00529789)

NCT ID: NCT00529789

Last Updated: 2011-10-24

Results Overview

Emergence of Any Suicidal Ideation: Item 13 of Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R) has possible scores of 1 (no thoughts of suicide) to 7 (contemplation of suicide). Emergence of suicidal ideation was defined as an increase in severity of suicidal ideation for those patients who did not have suicidal ideation at baseline (Week 0).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 18 Weeks

Population: All enrolled patients.

The C-SSRS captures the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors during the assessment period. Some questions are yes/no and some are on a scale of 1 (low severity) to 5 (high severity). Completed suicide and non-fatal suicide events are yes/no questions and results presented are the number of participants with these events. Worsening of suicidal ideation was an increase in severity of suicidal ideation from baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 0 (Baseline), 18 Weeks, 30 Weeks

Population: 18 Week results are for all enrolled patients with a baseline and at least one non-missing post-baseline value; 30 Week results are for the enrolled patients with a baseline and at least one non-missing post-baseline value in Period IV. Last observation carried forward.

Measures severity of illness at the time of assessment compared with start of treatment. Scores range from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). Baseline is the same timepoint (Week 0) for both comparisons, but due to differences in number of patients in both periods (II/III vs IV), the baseline values may be slightly different.

Measures presence and severity of depression. Consists of 17 items scored on a 1-5 or 1-7 scale. A rating of 1 indicates normal, thus the minimum score is 17. The maximum score is 113. In general, scores below 20 indicate an absence of depression; scores of 20 or 30 indicate borderline depression; scores of 40 to 60 indicate moderate depression. Baseline is the same timepoint (Week 0) for both comparisons, but due to differences in number of patients in both periods (II/III vs IV), the baseline values may be slightly different.
