    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. 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

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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)

    5. 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)

    6. 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.

    7. 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.

    8. 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.

    9. 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.

    10. Change From Augmentation Baseline for Remitters in the HAM-D Total Score at Week 6 - LOCF [Augmentation Baseline and 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.

    11. 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.

    12. 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.

    13. Assessment in Remitters of 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)

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details
    Pre-assignment Detail 246 subjects entered the antidepressant lead-in phase receiving escitalopram oxalate (antidepressant) 20 mg/day for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, subjects with residual depressive symptoms (n = 177) were randomly assigned (stratified by remission, either remitters or non-remitters) to receive augmentation therapy (either SPD489 or placebo).
    Arm/Group Title Antidepressant + SPD489 Antidepressant + Placebo .
    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. This includes both non-remitters and remitters.

    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.

    17. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change From Augmentation Baseline for Remitters in the MAF Scale Total Score at Week 6
    Description 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.
    Time Frame Augmentation baseline and 6 weeks

    Arm/Group Title Antidepressant + SPD489 (Remitters) Antidepressant + Placebo (Remitters)
    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.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame
    Adverse Event Reporting Description Randomized Safety Analysis Set (RSAS) defined as all subjects who take at least 1 dose of randomized augmentation treatment and at least 1 follow-up safety assessment.
    Arm/Group Title Antidepressant + SPD489 Antidepressant + Placebo .
    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. This includes both non-remitters and remitters.
