Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Time to All-Cause Discontinuation of Study Drug [Up to Week 24]
Time to all-cause discontinuation of study drug is defined as the number of days from the first dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug. Participants who completed double-blind treatment were not considered to have discontinued.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of Participants With Sustained Remission up to Week 24 [Up to Week 24]
Remission is defined as Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score of less than or equal to (<=) 12. A participant was defined as having achieved sustained remission if the MADRS total score was ≤12 at Week 12 and was sustained at Weeks 18 and 24. Participants with missing values at a given time point were imputed as non-evaluable for remission. MADRS is a clinician-administered scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The MADRS evaluates the following 10 items: apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total possible score range of 0-60 which is calculated by adding the scores of all 10 items. Higher scores represent a more severe condition.
- Percentage of Participants With Sustained Response up to Week 24 [Up to Week 24]
A participant was defined as having achieved a sustained response if there was at least a 50% improvement from baseline in the MADRS total score at Week 12, and that response was maintained at Week 18 and Week 24. Participants who did not meet such criterion were considered as non-sustained responders. MADRS is a clinician-administered scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The MADRS evaluates the following 10 items: apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total possible score range of 0-60 which is calculated by adding the scores of all 10 items. Higher scores represent a more severe condition.

This 16-item instrument has a 7-day recall period, and participants respond to each question using a rating scale between 0 ("Not at all" or "Never") to 4 ("Extremely" or "Always"). Before summing the items to create a total score, item 11 ("how often did you have a poor appetite") and item 12 ("how often did you over eat") are combined into a single score by selecting the highest severity on either item. The total score is then created by summing the responses on the 15 items. The total score ranges from 0 to 60 with a higher score indicating more severe depressive symptomatology. Negative change in score indicates improvement.
- Change From Baseline in Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) at Weeks 6, 12, and 24 [Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, and 24]
SDMT is a widely used, paper-and-pencil assessment of complex scanning and visual tracking, requiring elements of attention, visuoperceptual processing, working memory, and cognitive/psychomotor speed. The test is viewed as a robust screening test for adult neuropsychological impairment and is sensitive to impairments in cognitive function associated with MDD. The SDMT measured the time to pair abstract symbols with specific numbers. The test included a coding key consisting of 9 abstract symbols, each paired with a number ranging from 1 to 9. Following the key, the participant was presented with randomly ordered symbols and was required to write the number corresponding to each symbol as fast as possible. The number of correct substitutions within 90 seconds was recorded and total score derived from the total number of correct responses with a minimum possible score of 0 and maximum of 110 where high scores indicate better outcome. Positive change in score indicates improvement.

The participant is instructed to draw a line to connect a set of 25 consecutively numbered and lettered circles, alternating sequentially between numbers and letters (that is, 1 A 2 B). The participant is instructed to work as quickly as possible while still maintaining accuracy. Score included time (seconds) to completion and number of errors in performing the test which ranges from 0 (no errors) to 25 (more errors), where shorter time and less number of errors indicates better performance. The TMT-Part B is sensitive to cognitive decline associated with MDD. Negative change in score indicates improvement.
- Change From Baseline in Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) at Weeks 6, 12, and 24 [Baseline, Weeks 6, 12, and 24]
The HVLT-R measures performance in verbal memory, learning, and long-term recall in which a list of words is read up to three times. Approximately 20-25 minutes later, a delayed recall trial and a recognition trial are completed. The delayed recall requires free recall of any words remembered. The recognition trial is composed of 24 words, including the 12 target words and 12 false-positives. When scoring the HVLT, the three learning trials are combined to calculate a total recall score (0-36); the delayed recall trial creates the delayed recall score (0 -12); the total number of true-positive errors (0-12); and the recognition discrimination index is comprised by subtracting the total number of false positives from the total number of true positives. A higher score indicates higher cognition.

Title | Percentage of Participants With Sustained Remission up to Week 24 |
---|---|
Description | Remission is defined as Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score of less than or equal to (<=) 12. A participant was defined as having achieved sustained remission if the MADRS total score was ≤12 at Week 12 and was sustained at Weeks 18 and 24. Participants with missing values at a given time point were imputed as non-evaluable for remission. MADRS is a clinician-administered scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The MADRS evaluates the following 10 items: apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total possible score range of 0-60 which is calculated by adding the scores of all 10 items. Higher scores represent a more severe condition. |

Title | Percentage of Participants With Sustained Response up to Week 24 |
---|---|
Description | A participant was defined as having achieved a sustained response if there was at least a 50% improvement from baseline in the MADRS total score at Week 12, and that response was maintained at Week 18 and Week 24. Participants who did not meet such criterion were considered as non-sustained responders. MADRS is a clinician-administered scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The MADRS evaluates the following 10 items: apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts.

Title | Change From Baseline in the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) Total Score at Weeks 12, 18, and 24 |
---|---|
Description | HAM-A is a 14-item scale designed to measure anxiety in individuals. Each question reflects a symptom of anxiety and physical as well as mental symptoms are represented. Each of the 14-items in the scale is scored on a 5-point scale, ranging from 0 (a complete lack of that symptom) to 4 (a very severe show of anxiety with that symptom). The total score ranges from 0 to 56 which is calculated by adding the scores of all 14 items, where 0-13 indicates normal range, 14-17 indicates mild severity, 18 -24: mild to moderate severity, 25 -30: moderate to severe, and >=31: severe. Higher score indicates worsening. Negative change in score indicates improvement. |

Title | Change From Baseline in Symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder Scale (SMDDS) Score at Weeks 12 and 24 |
---|---|
Description | The SMDDS assesses participant-reported symptoms associated with MDD. This 16-item instrument has a 7-day recall period, and participants respond to each question using a rating scale between 0 ("Not at all" or "Never") to 4 ("Extremely" or "Always"). Before summing the items to create a total score, item 11 ("how often did you have a poor appetite") and item 12 ("how often did you over eat") are combined into a single score by selecting the highest severity on either item. The total score is then created by summing the responses on the 15 items. The total score ranges from 0 to 60 with a higher score indicating more severe depressive symptomatology. Negative change in score indicates improvement. |

Title | Change From Baseline in Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) at Weeks 6, 12, and 24 |
---|---|
Description | SDMT is a widely used, paper-and-pencil assessment of complex scanning and visual tracking, requiring elements of attention, visuoperceptual processing, working memory, and cognitive/psychomotor speed. The test is viewed as a robust screening test for adult neuropsychological impairment and is sensitive to impairments in cognitive function associated with MDD. The SDMT measured the time to pair abstract symbols with specific numbers. The test included a coding key consisting of 9 abstract symbols, each paired with a number ranging from 1 to 9. Following the key, the participant was presented with randomly ordered symbols and was required to write the number corresponding to each symbol as fast as possible. The number of correct substitutions within 90 seconds was recorded and total score derived from the total number of correct responses with a minimum possible score of 0 and maximum of 110 where high scores indicate better outcome. Positive change in score indicates improvement. |

Title | Change From Baseline in Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R) at Weeks 6, 12, and 24 |
---|---|
Description | The HVLT-R measures performance in verbal memory, learning, and long-term recall in which a list of words is read up to three times. Approximately 20-25 minutes later, a delayed recall trial and a recognition trial are completed. The delayed recall requires free recall of any words remembered. The recognition trial is composed of 24 words, including the 12 target words and 12 false-positives. When scoring the HVLT, the three learning trials are combined to calculate a total recall score (0-36); the delayed recall trial creates the delayed recall score (0 -12); the total number of true-positive errors (0-12); and the recognition discrimination index is comprised by subtracting the total number of false positives from the total number of true positives. A higher score indicates higher cognition. |

Title | Percentage of Participants With Suicidality Assessed Using Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Score |
---|---|
Description | C-SSRS is a clinician-rated instrument that reports severity and frequency of suicide-related ideation and behaviors. Suicidal ideation was classified on a 5-item scale: 1 (wish to be dead), 2 (non-specific active suicidal thoughts), 3 (active suicidal ideation with any methods [not plan] without intent to act), 4 (active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan), and 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent). Suicidal behavior is classified on a 5-item scale: 6 (preparatory acts or behavior), 7 (aborted attempt), 8 (interrupted attempt), 9 (actual attempt [non-fatal]), and 10 (completed suicide [only applicable for post baseline]). Minimum total score 0, maximum total score 10; higher total scores indicate more suicidal ideation and/or suicidal behavior. If no events qualify for score of 1 to 10, score of 0 was assigned (0= "no event that can be assessed on the basis of C-SSRS"). Higher scores indicate greater severity. |

Each item is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total possible score range of 0-60 which is calculated by adding the scores of all 10 items. Higher scores represent a more severe condition. Negative change in score indicates improvement. |
