Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change From Augmentation Baseline for Non-Remitters in Montgomery-Ǻsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Week 6 - Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) [Augmentation Baseline, 6 weeks]
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.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change From Augmentation Baseline for Non-Remitters in the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D) Total Score at Week 6 - LOCF [Augmentation Baseline, 6 weeks]
The HAM-D is a validated rating scale which consists of 17 items. Nine of the items are scored on a scale of 0-4 and 8 items are scored on a scale of 0-2 for a total scoring range of 0-52. A score of 0-7 is generally accepted to be within the normal range (or in clinical remission), while a score of 20 or higher indicates increased severity of depression. In general, the lower the total score the less severe the depression.
- Change From Augmentation Baseline for Non-Remitters in the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total Score at Week 6 [Augmentation Baseline, 6 weeks]
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.
- Percentage of Non-Remitters With Improvement on Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) at Week 6 - LOCF [6 weeks]
Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) consists of a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on the scale.
- Assessment in Non-Remitters of Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-S) at Augmentation Baseline [Augmentation baseline]
CGI-S assesses the severity of the subject's condition on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill)
- Assessment in Non-Remitters of Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-S) at Week 6 [6 weeks]
CGI-S assesses the severity of the subject's condition on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill)
- Change From Augmentation Baseline for Non-Remitters in the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function - Adult Version (BRIEF-A) Scale Total Score at Week 6 [Augmentation Baseline and 6 weeks]
BRIEF-A is a validated 75-item questionnaire composed of three scales (Global Executive Composite, Behavioral Recognition Index, and Metacognition Index). Items are rated 1 (never), 2 (sometimes), and 3 (often). There is no range for a total score. Raw scale scores are used to develop interpretive reports. Lower scores reflect better functioning.
- Change From Augmentation Baseline for Non-Remitters in the Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF) Scale Total Score at Week 6 [Augmentation Baseline and 6 weeks]
MAF contains 16 items scored on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 10 (a great deal). Answers are converted to a Global Fatigue Index with total scores ranging from 1 (no fatigue) to 50 (severe fatigue). Lower scores indicate less fatigue.
- Change From Augmentation Baseline for Non-Remitters in the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self-Report (QIDS-SR) Scale Total Score at Week 6 [Augmentation Baseline and 6 weeks]
QIDS-SR is a validated, self-reported rating scale that contains 16 items scored on a scale from 0-3 with total scores ranging from 0 (no depression) to 27 (very severe depression). Lower scores indicate less depression.
- Change From Augmentation Baseline for Remitters in MADRS Total Score at Week 6 - LOCF [Augmentation Baseline and 6 weeks]
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.

In general, the lower the total score the less severe the depression.
- Change From Augmentation Baseline for Remitters in the SDS Total Score at Week 6 [Augmentation Baseline and 6 weeks]
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.
- Percentage of Remitters With Improvement on CGI-I at Week 6 - LOCF [6 weeks]
Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) consists of a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Improvement is defined as a score of 1 (very much improved) or 2 (much improved) on the scale.

Title | Change From Augmentation Baseline for Remitters in the HAM-D Total Score at Week 6 - LOCF |
---|---|
Description | The HAM-D is a validated rating scale which consists of 17 items. Nine of the items are scored on a scale of 0-4 and 8 items are scored on a scale of 0-2 for a total scoring range of 0-52. A score of 0-7 is generally accepted to be within the normal range (or in clinical remission), while a score of 20 or higher indicates increased severity of depression. In general, the lower the total score the less severe the depression. |

Description | QIDS-SR is a validated, self-reported rating scale that contains 16 items scored on a scale from 0-3 with total scores ranging from 0 (no depression) to 27 (very severe depression). Lower scores indicate less depression. |
Time Frame | Augmentation baseline and 6 weeks |

---|---|---|
Arm/Group Description | Subjects with residual depressive symptoms after the 8-week lead-in period with antidepressant were randomly assigned to receive augmentation therapy (SPD489). At augmentation baseline, randomization was stratified by non-remitters and remitters. Remitters were defined as subjects who had an MADRS total score of less than or equal to 10 at augmentation baseline. Subjects received antidepressant (escitalopram @ 20 mg/day) + an optimal dose of SPD489 (either 20, 30, or 50 mg/day) for 6 weeks. | Subjects with residual depressive symptoms after the 8-week lead-in period with antidepressant were randomly assigned to receive augmentation therapy (placebo). At augmentation baseline, randomization was stratified by non-remitters and remitters. Remitters were defined as subjects who had an MADRS total score of less than or equal to 10 at augmentation baseline. Subjects received antidepressant (escitalopram @ 20 mg/day) + placebo for 6 weeks. |

Arm/Group Description | Subjects with residual depressive symptoms (symptoms of depression that remain after initial antidepressant treatment) after the 8-week lead-in period with antidepressant (escitalopram @ 20 mg/day) were randomly assigned to receive augmentation therapy (antidepressant @ 20 mg/day + SPD489 @ either 20, 30, or 50 mg/day) for 6 weeks. This includes both non-remitters (Montgomery-Ǻsberg Depression Rating Scale [MADRS] total score greater than 10 at augmentation baseline) and remitters (MADRS total score of less than or equal to 10 at augmentation baseline). | Subjects with residual depressive symptoms after the 8-week lead-in period with antidepressant were randomly assigned to receive augmentation therapy (antidepressant @ 20 mg/day + placebo) for 6 weeks.
