Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Number of Patients With Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Up to 52 weeks and a 4-week safety follow-up period
Up to 52 weeks and a 4-week safety follow-up period
Percentage of Patients Who Withdrew Due to Intolerance to Treatment
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52
Baseline to Week 52

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in MADRS Total Score After 52 Weeks of Treatment
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
The Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a depression rating scale consisting of 10 items, each rated 0 (no symptom) to 6 (severe symptom). The 10 items represent the core symptoms of depressive illness. The rating should be based on a clinical interview with the patient, moving from broadly phrased questions about symptoms to more detailed ones, which allow a precise rating of severity, covering the last 7 days. Total score from 0 to 60. The higher the score, the more severe.
Baseline and Week 52
Change From Baseline in HAM-D-24 Total Score After 52 Weeks of Treatment
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
The Hamilton Depression Scale - 24 Items (HAM-D-24) measures depression severity. Items are rated on a scale from 0 (symptoms not present) to a maximum of 2 to 4 (symptom extremely severe) for a total score range of 0 to 76. The higher the score, the more severe.
Baseline and Week 52
Proportion of Responders at Week 52 (Response Defined as a >=50% Decrease in MADRS Total Score)
Time Frame: Week 52
Week 52
Proportion of Remitters at Week 52 (Remission Defined as a MADRS Total Score <=10)
Time Frame: Week 52
