Any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug was considered an adverse event (AE), without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Treatment-emergent adverse events: those which occurred or worsened after baseline. An AE resulting in any of the following outcomes, was considered to be a serious adverse event: death; lifethreatening; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect.

Clinical significant changes were pre-defined for systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) , and pulse rate (PR). An average value of 3 measurements in each visit meeting the following criteria for 3 consecutive visits was determined as clinical siginificant changes: DBP \>= 90 mmHg with change from the baseline \>= 10 mmHg; SBP \>= 140 mmHg with change from the baseline \>= 20 mmHg; PR \>= 100 bpm with change from the baseline \>= 15 bpm.

Clinical significant changes were pre-defined for each laboratory test based on the criteria: Red Blood Cell Count \<0.8 x lower limit normal (LLN); Lymphocytes (%) \<0.8 x LLN; Eosinophils (%) \>1.2 x upper limit normal (ULN); Total Bilirubin \>1.5 x ULN; Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) \>3.0 x ULN; Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) \>3.0 x ULN; Uric Acid \>1.2 x ULN; Cholesterol \>1.3 x ULN; Low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol \>1.2 x ULN; Triglycerides \>1.3 x ULN; Glucose \>1.5 x ULN; Urine Glucose \[qualitative (Qual)\] \>=1; Urine Protein (Qual) \>=1; Urine Blood/Hemoglobin (Hgb) (Qual) \>=1.

Clinically significant ECG findings included: corrected QT (QTc), QT interval corrected using the Bazett's formula (QTcB), and QT interval corrected using the Fridericia formula (QTcF)\> 450 millisecond (ms), \>480 ms, and \>500 ms respsctively, change from baseline in QTc, QTcB, and QTcF \>= 30 ms, and \>= 60 ms, respectively.

C-SSRS is a participant rated questionnaire to assess suicidal ideation, suicidal behavior, actual attempts (yes or no responses), and intensity of ideation (rated 1=low severity to 5=high severity). Yes/No responses are mapped to Columbia Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA) categories: Completed suicide, suicide attempt, preparatory acts toward imminent suicidal behavior, suicidal ideation, and self-injurious behavior, or no suicidal intent. A participant could have a yes or no response in more than one category.

HAM-D17 is a standardized, clinician-administered rating scale that assesses 17 items characteristically associated with major depression (symptoms such as depressed mood, work and activities, sleep, suicide, psychomotor agitation/retardation, appetite, sexual interest, anxiety, and somatic symptoms). The items of the HAM-D17 are rated on a scale of 0 to 2 or 0 to 4, and the total score ranges from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. Change from baseline: mean score at Week 8 or early termination minus mean score at baseline.
