Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Antidepressant Efficacy of a Selective, High Affinity Enkephalinergic Agonist in Anxious Major Depressive Disorder (AMDD) (NCT NCT00759395)

NCT ID: NCT00759395

Last Updated: 2012-11-08

Results Overview

Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D)is a 17-item, clinician-rated scale that assesses depressive symptoms. The HAMD-17 consists of 17 symptoms, each of which is rated from 0 to 2 or 0 to 4, where 0 is none/absent. The HAMD-17 total score is calculated as the sum of the 17 individual symptom scores; the total score can range from 0 to 52. Higher HAMD-17 scores indicate more severe depression.
