Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study Of DVS SR In Treatment Of Children And Adolescent Outpatients With MDD (NCT NCT01371734)

NCT ID: NCT01371734

Last Updated: 2017-03-20

Results Overview

Clinician-rated interview-based scale (with both child and parent or guardian) to assess 17 distinct symptom areas to derive an index of depression severity. Discrepancies between informants' responses were resolved by using most impaired rating given by valid informant. Rated on a 7-point scale; range from 1 (no impairment) to 7 (indicates greater impairment). Total score calculated as sum of the 17 items (range 1 to 119); higher score indicates greater impairment. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for the baseline total score, age group and gender.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 8

Population: Intention-To-Treat (ITT) Population - included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug, had a baseline primary efficacy assessment, and had at least one post-baseline primary efficacy assessment. n is the number of participants with evaluable data.

Clinician-rated interview-based scale (with both child and parent or guardian) to assess 17 distinct symptom areas to derive an index of depression severity. Discrepancies between informants' responses were resolved by using most impaired rating given by valid informant. Rated on a 7-point scale; range from 1 (no impairment) to 7 (indicates greater impairment). Total score calculated as sum of the 17 items (range 1 to 119); higher score indicates greater impairment. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for the baseline total score, age group and gender.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 8

Population: ITT Population n is the number of participants with evaluable data.

A 7-point clinician rated scale to assess severity of participant's current illness state; range: 1 (normal - not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). Higher score = more affected. Change: score at observation minus score at baseline. Mean change from baseline was adjusted for the baseline total score, age group and gender.
