Exclusion Criteria:
- Significant risk of suicide based on clinical judgment.
- Current (within 12 months before baseline) psychoactive substance abuse or dependence (including alcohol), manic episode, posttraumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or a lifetime diagnosis of bipolar or psychotic disorder.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change From Baseline on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, 17-item Total Score (HAM-D17) at Week 8
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
HAM-D17 is a standardized, clinician-administered rating scale that assesses 17 items characteristically associated with major depression (symptoms such as depressed mood, guilty feelings, suicide, sleep disturbances, anxiety levels, and weight loss).
Each item is scored on either a 3 point (0 to 2) or a 5 point scale (0 to 4), for a maximum total score of 52; higher scores indicate more depression.
Change from baseline: score at observation minus score at baseline.
|
Baseline to Week 8 (final on-therapy)

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change From Baseline on the Clinical Global Impression Scale-Improvement (CGI-I)
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
CGI-I: 7-point clinician rated scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).
Higher score = worse outcome.
|
Baseline to Week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
Change From Baseline on the Clinical Global Impression-Severity Score (CGI-S)
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
CGI-S: 7-point clinician rated scale to assess severity of participant's current illness state; range: 1 (normal - not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).
Higher score = worse state.
|
Baseline to Week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
Change From Baseline on the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
CGI-S: 7-point clinician rated scale to assess severity of participant's current illness state; range: 1 (normal - not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).
Higher score = worse state.
|
Baseline to Week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, 17-item (HAM-D17) Response Rate
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
HAM-D17 is a standardized, clinician-administered rating scale that assesses 17 items characteristically associated with major depression (symptoms such as depressed mood, guilty feelings, suicide, sleep disturbances, anxiety levels, and weight loss).
Each item is scored on either a 3 point (0 to 2) or a 5 point scale (0 to 4), for a maximum total score of 52; higher scores indicate more depression.
A response is defined as ≥ 50% decrease from baseline on Hamilton Psychiatric Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17) total score.
|
Baseline to Week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, 17-item (HAM-D17) Remission Rate
Time Frame: Baseline to week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
HAM-D17 is a standardized, clinician-administered rating scale that assesses 17 items characteristically associated with major depression (symptoms such as depressed mood, guilty feelings, suicide, sleep disturbances, anxiety levels, and weight loss).
Each item is scored on either a 3 point (0 to 2) or a 5 point scale (0 to 4), for a maximum total score of 52; higher scores indicate more depression.
Remission is defined as a Hamilton Psychiatric Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17) total score of ≤ 7.
|
Baseline to week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
Change From Baseline on the Arizona Sexual Experiences (ASEX) Scale Total Score
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 8 (final on-therapy)
|
The ASEX scale has 5 items to assess sexual functioning with a 1-week recall period. The 5 items assess sex drive, ease of arousal, ease of erection/lubrication, ease of orgasm and orgasm satisfaction. Subjects were encouraged to complete all 5 items regardless of sexual activity during the past week. However, all analyses utilized only the data for the visits where the presence of sexual activity was indicated. Each individual score ranged from 1 to 6; the total score (based on the sum of the individual items) ranged from 5 to 30; higher scores indicated worse sexual function. |
