PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to Week 52

Population: 26 patients were withdrawn; the reason for withdrawal was not poor tolerability, but mainly (23 patients) because the study was terminated. Please see withdrawn reasons in the participant flow section for the other reasons.

The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (eC-SSRS) is a semi-structured interview developed to systematically assess suicidal ideation and behaviour of patients participating in a clinical study. The C-SSRS has 5 questions addressing suicidal ideation, 5 sub-questions assessing the intensity of ideation, and 4 questions addressing suicidal behaviour. The electronic C-SSRS (eC-SSRS) is a patient-rated electronic version using interactive voice response technology. A structured CSSRS script of standardised questions, follow-up prompts, error-handling and scoring conventions is used for administration.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to Week 52

Population: None of the patients completed the study. A total of 26 patients were enrolled when the study was prematurely terminated(Planned: 1184 patients). No data were collected because none of the 26 patients that were enrolled completed the study because of early termination.

The EuroQoL 5 Dimensions 5L version (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a patient-reported assessment designed to measure the patient's wellbeing. It consists of 5 descriptive items (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and depression/anxiety) and a visual analogue scale (VAS) of the overall health state. Each descriptive item is rated on a 5-point index ranging from 1 (no problems) to 5 (extreme problems) and a single summary index (from 0 to 1) can be calculated. The VAS ranges from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state).
