Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Randomization to the End of Treatment Phase (Week 6) in the Bech Melancholia Subscale (Bech) (Items 1, 2, 7, 8, 10 and 13) From the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HamD17).
Randomization (Week 0) and Week 6

The Bech Melancholia Sub-scale is extracted from the HAMD-17 and is comprised of the following 6 items: Depressed Mood, Feelings of Guilt, Work and Activities, Retardation, Anxiety Psychic, and Somatic Symptoms General. The items Depressed Mood, Feelings of Guilt, Work and Activities, Retardation, Anxiety Psychic are scored on a 5-point scale from 0 to 4 except for Somatic Symptoms General which is scored on a 3-point scale from 0 to 2 where the higher scores reflecting greater severity. The Bech Melancholia Scale total score is calculated by summing the individual response scores. The highest possible score is 22 (indicative of greater severity) and the lowest possible score is 0 (indicating absence of symptoms). Change from randomization was defined as the post-baseline value minus the value at randomization. Randomization was defined as Week 0.
