Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study in the Treatment of Children and Adolescents With Major Depressive Disorder (NCT NCT00849901)

NCT ID: NCT00849901

Last Updated: 2017-09-11

Results Overview

CDRS-R Total score measure the presence and severity of depression in children. The scale consists of 17 items scored on a 1-to-5- or 1-to-7-point scale. A rating of 1 indicates normal functioning. Total scores range from 17 to 113. In general, scores below 20 indicate an absence of depression, scores of 20 to 30 indicate borderline depression, and scores of 40 to 60 indicate moderate depression. Least Square (LS) means are adjusted for baseline, pooled investigator, age category, visit, treatment, treatment\*visit, age category\*visit and baseline\*visit.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 10

Population: Participants with both a baseline and at least one post-baseline value.

CDRS-R Total score measure the presence and severity of depression in children. The scale consists of 17 items scored on a 1-to-5- or 1-to-7-point scale. A rating of 1 indicates normal functioning. Total scores range from 17 to 113. In general, scores below 20 indicate an absence of depression, scores of 20 to 30 indicate borderline depression, and scores of 40 to 60 indicate moderate depression. Least Square (LS) means are adjusted for baseline, pooled investigator, age category, visit, treatment, treatment\*visit, age category\*visit and baseline\*visit.

Population: Participants with at least one post-baseline C-SSRS suicidal ideation or suicidal behavior score and who are at risk for treatment emergent suicidal ideation or behavior.

Columbia Suicide Rating Scale (C-SSRS) captures occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors. Suicidal behavior: a "yes" answer to any of 5 suicidal behavior questions: preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide. Suicidal ideation: a "yes" answer to any one of 5 suicidal ideation questions: wish to be dead, and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation. Treatment Emergent Suicidal Ideation is worsening or new occurrence of events during treatment compared to lead-in baseline (Week -1 - 0).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 10 through Week 36

Population: Participants with normal value at last non-missing visit before Week 10 and at least one non-missing post-Week 10 value, and who are at risk for the specific PCS criteria.

PCS increase in systolic and diastolic BP was defined as increase of ≥ 5mm Hg from baseline (BL) high value to a value above the 95th percentile at post-BL; PCS increase of pulse was defined as \>140 and increase of ≥15 from BL high value for age 7-11 and \>120 and increase of ≥15 from BL high value for age 12-17; PCS decrease of pulse was defined as \<60 and a decrease of ≥25 from BL low value for age 7-11 and \<50 and a decrease of ≥15 from BL low value for age 12-17; PCS decrease of weight was defined as decrease of at least 3.5% from BL low value.
