Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [Baseline to Follow-up (up to Day 77)]

    AEs are any untoward, undesired, or unplanned event in the form of signs, symptoms, disease, or laboratory or physiologic observations occurring in a person given study treatment. The event does not need to be causally related to the study treatment. SAEs are adverse events that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, result in cancer, or result in a congenital anomaly or birth defect.

  2. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) [Pre-dose (0 hour) and Post-dose (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours) on Days 28 and 56]

    Noncompartmental pharmacokinetic (PK) parameter obtained using 0 to 72 hour concentration data from venous blood samples measured as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).

  3. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax) [Pre-dose (0 hour) and Post-dose (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours) on Days 28 and 56]

    Noncompartmental PK parameter obtained using 0 to 72 hour concentration data from venous blood samples measured as hours (hr).

  4. Plasma Decay Half-Life (t1/2) [Pre-dose (0 hour) and Post-dose (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours) on Days 28 and 56]

    Plasma decay half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by one half. Noncompartmental PK parameter obtained using 0 to 72 hour concentration data from venous blood samples measured as hours (hr).

  5. Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC0-∞) [Pre-dose (0 hour) and Post-dose (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 hours) on Days 28 and 56]

    AUC (0-∞) = Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to infinity. Noncompartmental PK parameter obtained using 0 to 72 hour concentration data from venous blood samples measured as nanograms multiplied by hours divided by milliliters (ng*hr/mL).

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Population Pharmacokinetics Dose Normalized AUC (AUC/D): First Method, Second Method [Day 1, Day 28, and Day 56]

    Relationship of variables (i.e., age, sex, ethnicity, and food) examined by fitting dose normalized AUC (AUC/D) values to a power model. AUC/D regressed against variables using power equation Y=A*W^b (Y=AUC/D; A=coefficient; W=variable; b=exponent). AUC values from children cohort (ages 7 to 11) combined doses=first method of analysis. AUC from adolescent cohort (ages 12 to 17) combined doses=second method of analysis. AUC values combined from both cohorts=third method of analysis. Measured as nanograms multiplied by hours divided by milliliters per milligram of dose [(ng*hr/mL)/mg of dose].

  2. Population Pharmacokinetics Dose Normalized AUC (AUC/D): Third Method [Day 1, Day 28, and Day 56]

    Relationship of variables (i.e., age, sex, ethnicity, and food) examined by fitting dose normalized AUC (AUC/D) values to a power model. AUC/D regressed against variables using power equation Y=A*W^b (Y=AUC/D; A=coefficient; W=variable; b=exponent). AUC values from children cohort (ages 7 to 11) combined doses=first method of analysis. AUC from adolescent cohort (ages 12 to 17) combined doses=second method of analysis. AUC values combined from both cohorts=third method of analysis. Measured as nanograms multiplied by hours divided by milliliters per milligram of dose [(ng*hr/mL)/mg of dose].

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Children's Depression Ratings Scale-Revised (CDRS-R) Total Score [Baseline, Inpatient Days 1 to 4, Outpatient Days 5 to 7, Outpatient Weeks 2 through 8 and Outpatient Week >8 (or early termination)]

    CDRS-R total score: scale measures 17 depressive symptoms, of which 3 are rated 1 to 5 and 14 are rated 1 to 7 (1 = no symptom difficulties; 5 or 7 = severe clinically significant difficulties) for a total score range of 17 to 113. Lower total scores indicate lower intensity of symptoms.

  2. Change From Baseline in Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression 17-item (HAMD-D17) Total Score [Baseline, Inpatient Days 1 to 4, Outpatient Days 5 to 7, Outpatient Weeks 2 through 8 and Outpatient Week >8 (or early termination)]

    HAM-D, clinician-rated interview, measures presence of depressive symptoms in 17 areas (symptoms such as depressed mood, guilty feelings, suicide, sleep disturbances, anxiety levels, & weight loss). Total score ranges from 0 to 52; higher scores reflect higher severity of current illness states.

  3. Percentage of Participants With a Categorical Clinical Global Impressions Scale-Severity (CGI-S) Score at Every Visit [Baseline, Inpatient Days 1 to 4, Outpatient Days 5 to 7, Outpatient Weeks 2 through 8 and Outpatient Week >8 (or early termination)]

    CGI-S: 7-point clinician rated scale to assess severity of participant's current illness state; range: 1=normal, not ill at all, 2=borderline mentally ill, 3=mildly ill, 4=moderately ill, 5=markedly ill, 6=severely ill, 7=among the most extremely ill patients. Higher scores reflect higher severity of current illness states.

  4. Percentage of Participants With a Categorical Clinical Global Impressions Scale-Improvement(CGI-I) Score at Every Visit [Baseline, Inpatient Days 1 to 4, Outpatient Days 5 to 7, Outpatient Weeks 2 through 8 and Outpatient Week >8 (or early termination)]

    CGI-I: 7-point clinician rated scale ranging from 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, to 7=very much worse. Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved), 2 (much improved), or 3 (minimally improved) on the scale. Scores above 4 reflect worsening of illness state as compared to baseline.

Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details Treatment to be given at only 1 dose level at a time for at least the first 6 subjects per dose group. Approximately 6 to 8 subjects were to be enrolled in each of the dose cohorts; 4 dose levels were to be evaluated per age stratum in sequential manner and ascending order (10 to 100 milligrams (mg) for children; 25 to 200 mg for adolescents).
Pre-assignment Detail Screening period 6 to 14 days followed by treatment period (up to 3.5 day inpatient and up to 7.5 week outpatient phase). Participants who enter outpatient period but do not continue into 6-month open-label extension study (NCT00669110) will participate in taper period of 0 to 2 weeks depending on dose of study treatment to which they are assigned.

3. Other Pre-specified Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With a Categorical Clinical Global Impressions Scale-Severity (CGI-S) Score at Every Visit
Description CGI-S: 7-point clinician rated scale to assess severity of participant's current illness state; range: 1=normal, not ill at all, 2=borderline mentally ill, 3=mildly ill, 4=moderately ill, 5=markedly ill, 6=severely ill, 7=among the most extremely ill patients. Higher scores reflect higher severity of current illness states.
Time Frame Baseline, Inpatient Days 1 to 4, Outpatient Days 5 to 7, Outpatient Weeks 2 through 8 and Outpatient Week >8 (or early termination)

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
ITT; no participants had a CGI-S score of 6 or 7, therefore only scores 1 through 5 are reported.

4. Primary Outcome
Title Number of Participants With Adverse Events AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Description AEs are any untoward, undesired, or unplanned event in the form of signs, symptoms, disease, or laboratory or physiologic observations occurring in a person given study treatment. The event does not need to be causally related to the study treatment. SAEs are adverse events that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, result in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, result in cancer, or result in a congenital anomaly or birth defect.

Title Population Pharmacokinetics Dose Normalized AUC (AUC/D): First Method, Second Method
Description Relationship of variables (i.e., age, sex, ethnicity, and food) examined by fitting dose normalized AUC (AUC/D) values to a power model. AUC/D regressed against variables using power equation Y=A*W^b (Y=AUC/D; A=coefficient; W=variable; b=exponent). AUC values from children cohort (ages 7 to 11) combined doses=first method of analysis. AUC from adolescent cohort (ages 12 to 17) combined doses=second method of analysis. AUC values combined from both cohorts=third method of analysis. Measured as nanograms multiplied by hours divided by milliliters per milligram of dose [(ng*hr/mL)/mg of dose].
