Last Updated: 2021-06-09

Results Overview

MADRS is a validated, 10-item rating scale with each item being scored on a scale from 0-6 with a total score ranging from 0-60. Lower scores indicate a decreased severity of depression.

Designed to evaluate the extent to which illness symptoms impact a subject's life in 3 areas: work/school, social, and family/home. Each area is scored on a scale from 0 (no impairment) to 10 (highly impaired) with a total score ranging from 0 (unimpaired) to 30 (highly impaired). Lower scores translate into less impairment.

The ABAC-A is a rater-administered series of activities designed to be sensitive to the critical cognitive deficits in affective disorders and schizophrenia. There are 6 subtests of the ABAC-A: List Learning (verbal memory); Digit Sequencing Task (working memory); Token Motor Task (motor speed); Verbal Fluency; Symbol Coding (attention and processing speed); and Tower of London Test (executive functions). The ABAC-A Composite T-score change from Augmentation Baseline Visit (Visit 8; Week 8) at Visit 14/Early Termination (ET) (Week 16/ET) was analyzed.

Total score ranges from 0 (lowest level of health) - 100 (highest level of health) on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability (i.e. a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability). Higher scores are associated with better quality of life.

The CSFQ-14 is a short-form interview/questionnaire that measures illness- and medication-related changes in sexual functioning. A 5-point Likert scale is used ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (always). The CSFQ-14 total score can range from 14 to 70, with lower scores being associated with worsened sexual functioning.

C-SSRS is a semi-structured interview that captures the occurence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors during the assessment period. The interview includes definitions and suggested questions to solicit the type of information needed to determine if a suicide-related thought or behaviour occurred. The assessment is done by the nature of the responses, not by a numbered scale.
