Trial Outcomes & Findings for Lurasidone - A 6-week Study of Patients With Bipolar I Depression (Monotherapy) (NCT NCT00868699)

NCT ID: NCT00868699

Last Updated: 2014-04-17

Results Overview

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)is a clinician-rated assessment of a subject's level of depression. The MADRS total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 60. For the MADRS total score, low scores indicate a better outcome and high scores indicate a worse outcome. When change from baseline is considered, a negative (decrease in score) value is considered a better outcome, and a positive (increase in score) value is considered a worse outcome. The MADRS contains ten (10) items. The total score is computed as the sum of the scores for the 10 items.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 6

Population: Intent-to-treat population is analyzed.

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)is a clinician-rated assessment of a subject's level of depression. The MADRS total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 60. For the MADRS total score, low scores indicate a better outcome and high scores indicate a worse outcome. When change from baseline is considered, a negative (decrease in score) value is considered a better outcome, and a positive (increase in score) value is considered a worse outcome. The MADRS contains ten (10) items. The total score is computed as the sum of the scores for the 10 items.

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 6

Population: Intent-to-treat population is analyzed.

Clinical Global Impression Bipolar Version, Severity of Illness (CGI-BP-S) score (depression) is a clinician-rated assessment of a subject's level of depression. The CGI depression score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 7. For the CGI depression score, low scores indicate a better outcome and high scores indicate a worse outcome. When change from baseline is considered, a negative (decrease in score) value is considered a better outcome, and a positive (increase in score) value is considered a worse outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 6

Population: Intent-to-treat population is analyzed. Number of participants in table is not consistent with intent-to-treat population because: if one or more items are missing at a study visit, as can occur when a subject opts out of the work/school item because it does not apply, the authors of the scale recommend setting the total score to missing

Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) total score is a subject-rated assessment of a subject's level of depression. The SDS total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 30. For the SDS total score, low scores indicate a better outcome and high scores indicate a worse outcome. When change from baseline is considered, a negative (decrease in score) value is considered a better outcome, and a positive (increase in score) value is considered a worse outcome. The SDS contains three (3) items. The total score is computed as the sum of the scores for the 3 items.
