Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change from Baseline in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score to Day 5
Baseline up to Day 5

The MADRS is a clinician-administered scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The scale consists of 10 items, each of which is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total possible score of 60. Higher scores represent a more severe condition.

Secondary Endpoints

Change from Baseline in MADRS Total Score to Day 2
Baseline up to Day 2
Change from Baseline in Clinician Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Scale Score to Days 2 and 5
