Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score
Week 6

The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a validated, physician-rated scale designed to measure depression severity and detect changes due to antidepressant treatment. The test consists of 10 items, each scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total score of 60. Higher scores represent a more severe conditions. MADRS evaluates apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, sleep, appetite, concentration, lassitude, interest level, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. The test exhibits high inter-rater reliability and its capacity to differentiate between responders and nonresponders to antidepressant treatment has been shown to be comparable to the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression.
