Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Quetiapine SR (Seroquel SR) to Treat SSRI-Resistant, Comorbid Panic Disorder Patients (NCT NCT00619892)

NCT ID: NCT00619892

Last Updated: 2016-01-21

Results Overview

Possible total scores on the PDSS range from 0-28. The outcome measure represents the change, between baseline and the end of 8 weeks of treatment, in the the total PDSS scores. Lower scores indicate less severe panic disorder symptoms. A negative mean change in the scores at the end of 8 weeks represents a decrease in severity of panic disorder symptoms.
