Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change from baseline in HAM-D17 total score at Day 15
15 days

The HAM-D17 is a depression rating scale consisting of 17 items; 9 items are scored on a 5-point scale (ranging from 0 to 4), and 8 items are scored on a 3-point scale (ranging from 0 to 2). The total score of the 17 items ranges from 0 to 52 with higher scores indicating greater depression. Therefore, a decrease in the total score or on individual item scores indicates improvement.
