Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, double-blind (neither physician nor patient knows the treatment that the patient receives), placebo-controlled study in adult patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with anxiety symptoms of relevant severity. The study will consist of 3 phases: a screening phase of up to 2 weeks, an 8-week double-blind treatment phase, and a 2-week post-treatment (follow up) phase. Patients will continue to take the same daily dose of their antidepressant (as directed by the investigator) at the same time of day, from screening through the end of the study, including the post-treatment phase. The total study duration for each patient will be approximately 12 weeks.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The change from baseline to endpoint on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating scale (HAM-A6) score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The HAM-A6 is a 6-item subscale derived from the original Hamilton Anxiety scale (HAM-A). The rating scale measures the severity of anxiety symptomatology. Higher scores represent more severe anxiety symptoms.
Baseline, Week 4

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The change from baseline to endpoint on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS17) total score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The HDRS17 is a clinician-administered rating scale designed to assess the severity of symptoms in patients diagnosed with depression with a score range of 0 to 52. Questions are related to symptoms such as depressed mood, guilt feelings, suicide, sleep disturbances, anxiety levels and weight loss. The higher the score, the more severe the depression.
Baseline, Week 4
The change from baseline to endpoint on the SIGH-A (Structured Interview Guide of the Hamilton Anxiety Scale 14-item HAM-A) total score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The (HAM-A) is a 14-item scale designed to measure anxiety in individuals. Each question reflects a symptom of anxiety and physical as well as mental symptoms are represented. The answers range from 0 which signifies a complete lack of that symptom to 4, which indicates a very severe show of anxiety with that symptom.
Baseline, Week 4
The change from baseline to endpoint in the Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) scale
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The CGI-I is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention and rated as: 1=very much improved; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change; 5=minimally worse; 6=much worse; 7=very much worse.
Baseline, Week 4
The change from baseline to endpoint in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS17) anxiety/somatization factor total score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The HDRS17 is a clinician-administered rating scale designed to assess the severity of symptoms in patients diagnosed with depression with a score range of 0 to 52. Questions are related to symptoms such as depressed mood, guilt feelings, suicide, sleep disturbances, anxiety levels and weight loss. The higher the score, the more severe the depression.
Baseline, Week 4
The change from baseline to endpoint in the HAM-D6 score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The HAM-D6 is a 6-item subscale derived from the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS17). The rating scale measures the severity of depressive symptomatology. Higher scores represent more severe depressive symptoms.
Baseline, Week 4
The change from baseline to endpoint in the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatolgy -Clinician rated (IDS-C30) total score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 6
The IDS-C30 is a clinician administered 30 item depression specific severity rating scale designed to measure specific signs and symptoms of depression including melancholic, atypical and anxious features. Scores range from 0 to 84 with higher scores representing greater severity of depressive symptoms.
Baseline, Week 6
The change from baseline to endpoint in the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Clinician-Rated (IDS-C30) anxiety subscale
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The IDS-C30 is a clinician administered 30 item depression specific severity rating scale designed to measure specific signs and symptoms of depression including melancholic, atypical and anxious features. The anxiety subscale includes five anxiety symptoms: anxious mood, somatic complaints, sympathetic arousal, panic, and gastrointestinal symptoms. The rating scale measures the severity of anxiety symptomatology. Higher scores represent more severe anxiety symptoms.
Baseline, Week 4
The change from baseline to Week 4 in the Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The WLQ is a 25-item questionnaire self-report rating scale developed to measure the on-the-job impact of chronic health problems and/or treatment ("work limitations"), with a recall period of the previous 2 weeks. It comprises four dimensions of limitations: handling time, physical, mental-interpersonal, and output demands. Patients respond to each item with options ranging from "Almost all of the time" to "none of the time", or "Does not apply to my job". The global score ranges from 0 to 100 with lower score indicating low level of work limitations.
Baseline, Week 4
The change from baseline to endpoint on the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The PSS is a 10-item, self-reported unidimensional instrument developed to measure perceived stress in response to situations in a person's life. Prevalence of an item within the last month is measured on a 5 point scale, ranging from "never" to "very often". Higher scores reflect higher levels of perceived stress.
Baseline, Week 4
The change from baseline to endpoint in the Profile of Moods Scale-Brief Form (POMS-BF)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The POMS-BF is a 30 item, self-report inventory in which a series of mood states (such as "Tense" or "Worn out") are rated based on how well each item describes the respondent's mood during the past week, including today. Items are rated on a 5-point scale with response options of: "Not at all", "A little", "Moderately", "Quite a bit" or "Extremely" with a global score range of 0 to 120 or individual domain scores on Tension-Anxiety, Depression-Dejection, Anger-Hostility, Vigor-Activity, Fatigue-Inertia, and Confusion-Bewilderment. Lower scores indicate better mood state.
Baseline, Week 4
The change from baseline to endpoint on the Medical Outcomes Study- 12-item Sleep Scale Acute - Revised (MOS Sleep-R)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 4
The MOS Sleep-R is a self-reported scale containing 12 items addressing dimensions of sleep. It comprises six subscales: sleep disturbance, snoring, shortness of breath or headache, sleep adequacy, sleep somnolence, and sleep quantity. Items are answered on 5-point scales, where 1="all of the time," and 5="none of the time," 1 item (sleep latency) is answered on a 5 point scale from 1="0-15 minutes" to 5="more than 60 minutes." Score range of 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate fewer sleep-related problems. Duration of sleep is scored as the average number of hours slept per night.
