Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study Comparing Remission Rates, in Patients With Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) (NCT NCT00770289)

NCT ID: NCT00770289

Last Updated: 2012-08-31

Results Overview

Remission according to HAM-D: HAM-D17 score less than or equal to (=\<) 7 or a HAM-D7 score =\< 3. HAM-D17: standardized, clinician-administered rating scale; assesses 17 items characteristically associated with major depression. Individual items are scored on either a 3 point (0 to 2) or a 5 point scale (0 to 4), with 0=none/absent and 4=most severe. Total score: 0 to 66; higher score indicates more depression. HAM-D7: subset of HAM-D17; assesses 7 items associated with major depression. Total score: 0 to 26; higher score indicates more depression.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all enrolled participants. Here, 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies those participants who had data available and were evaluable for this measure.

Timeframe: Week 12

Population: ITT population included all enrolled participants. Here, 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies those participants who had data available and were evaluable for this measure.

Remission according to BDI: BDI score less than (\<) 10. BDI: 21 item participant rated inventory evaluates depression symptoms, cognition, and physical symptoms of fatigue, weight loss, lack of interest in sex. Individual items are scored on a 4 point scale (0 to 3), with 0=none/absent and 3=most severe. Total score: 0 to 63; higher score indicates more depression.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

Population: ITT population included all enrolled participants. Here, 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies those participants who had data available at baseline and were evaluable for this measure.

HAM-D17: clinician-administered scale; assesses 17 items related to major depression (MD). Individual items scored on 3 point (0 to 2) or 5 point scale (0 to 4); 0=absent, 4=most severe. Total score: 0 to 66. HAM-D7: subset of HAM-D17; assesses 7 items related to MD. Total score: 0 to 26. BDI: 21 item participant rated inventory evaluates depression symptoms, cognition, physical symptoms of fatigue, weight loss, lack of interest in sex. Individual item scored on 4 point scale (0 to 3); 0=absent, 3=most severe. Total score: 0 to 63. For all the 3 scales, higher score represented more depression.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12

Population: ITT population included all enrolled participants. Here, 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies those participants who had data available and were evaluable for this measure.

Number of participants with residual symptoms who did not achieve remission was assessed. Remission according to HAM-D: HAM-D17 score =\< 7 or HAM-D7 score =\<3. Remission according to BDI: BDI score \<10. HAM-D17: assessed 17 items associated with MD. Individual items scored on 3 point (0 to 2) or 5 point scale (0 to 4); 0=absent, 4=most severe. Total score: 0 to 66. HAM-D7: assessed 7 items associated with MD. Total score: 0 to 26. BDI assessed severity of depressive symptoms. Individual items are scored on a 4 point scale (0 to 3), with 0=none/absent and 3=most severe. The total score: 0 to 63. For all the 3 scales, higher score indicated more severe depression.
