Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D; 17 Items) Total Score at Week 8
Baseline (Week 0) and Week 8

The HAM-D measures the severity of depressive symptoms in participants with major depressive disorder (MDD). It is a checklist of 17 items that are ranked on a scale of 0-4 or 0-2. The range for the total score (which is the sum of the scores of all 17 items) is 0-52; a higher score indicates greater severity of symptoms. Mean change from baseline was calculated as the value at Week 8 minus the Baseline value.

Secondary Endpoints

Mean Change From Baseline in the HAM-D Total Score at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8
Baseline (Week 0); Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8
