Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Change in Cognitive Domain Scores

Neuropsychological battery of tests which included the following domains: learning, delayed recall, and executive functioning. Raw scores were transformed to z-scores for each test score of interest for each participant, and then averaged. These z-scores were averaged within each neuropsychological domain to produce composite scores and then averaged over all tests to calculate a global performance score. Higher scores are indicative of better performance. (NCT01902004)
Timeframe: Measured at 6 months and 12 months

Change in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale

Clinician administered scale measures severity of depressive symptoms. This measure includes 24 items. Response options vary item to item and include the following ranges: [0-2], [0-3], and [0-4]. A score of 0 suggests absence of symptoms and/or difficulties and higher scores represent more severe difficulties. Possible overall score range [0-74], higher scores representing more severe difficulties. (NCT01902004)
Timeframe: Measured at 3 months; 6 months and 12 months

Change in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale

Clinician administered item scale measures severity of depressive symptoms. The 10 items are measured on a 7-point scale ranging from 0 to 6; creating a total range of 0-60. A score of 0 suggests absence of symptoms and higher scores represent greater severity of depression.Severity gradations for the MADRS have been proposed (9-17 = mild, 18-34 = moderate, and ≥ 35 = severe). Treatment remission is defined as an endpoint total score ≤ 10. (NCT01902004)
Timeframe: Measured at 3 months; 6 months and 12 months

Number of Participants With Adverse Events

The UKU (Udvalg for Kliniske Undersogelser) Side Effect Rating Scale organizes symptoms into 4 categories (i.e., Psychic, Neurologic, Autonomic, Other) containing 8-19 symptoms each. Each symptom receives a score for degree and causal relationship. Degree is scored between 0-3 with higher scores being more severe. Causal relationship is scored as improbable, possible, or probable. (NCT01902004)
Timeframe: Measured at 3, 6 months and 12 months

Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS)

Each item is scored on a scale of 0 (not present) to 4 (severe), with a total score range of 0-56, where <17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate severity and 25-30 moderate to severe. Scores > 30 indicate severe anxiety. (NCT00344682)
Timeframe: baseline & week 8

Modified Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms Self Report Scale (QIDS-SR)

The 16 item Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR16) (Rush et al. 2003) is designed to assess the severity of depressive symptoms, with higher scores representing more severe forms of depression. When complete, the QIDS are scored by summing responses to obtain a total score ranging from 0 to 27. Either appetite increase or decrease, but not both, are used to calculate the total score. Weight increase or decrease, but not both, are used to calculate the total score. Scores 0-5 indicate no severity of depression; 6-10 is mild; 11-15 is moderate; 16-20 is severe; 21-27 is very severe levels of depression. Participants were evaluated at baseline and at weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 & 8. (NCT00344682)
Timeframe: baseline & week 8

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Score (MADRS)

Higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item yields a score of 0 to 6 on 10 items. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. Scores 0 to 6 indicate symptoms absent; 7 to 19 indicates mild depression; 30 to 34 defines moderate; 35 to 60 indicates severe depression. Changes in response rate and remission rate were assessed for secondary measures. (NCT00344682)
Timeframe: baseline and week 8

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Score (MADRS)

Higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. Scores 0 to 6 indicate symptoms absent; 7 to 19 indicates mild depression; 30 to 34 defines moderate; 35 to 60 indicates severe depression. Changes in MADRS score was a primary measure. (NCT00344682)
Timeframe: Baseline & week 8

Change in 24-item HAMD

Change in 24-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) scores from baseline to Week 48: HAMD measures depression severity based on a series of 24 items items. The range of HAMD total score is 0-74; 0 indicates no depressive symptoms and a maximum HAMD score is a 74, where the greater the score indicates more significant psychopathology. In this study, moderate to severe depression is considered a HAMD-24 greater than 14. (NCT01876823)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 48

Change in Selective Reminding Test - Delayed Recall (SRT-DR)

Change in Selective Reminding Test-Delayed Recall scores from baseline to Week 48: SRT Delay is administered 15 minutes after the immediate recall portion. Patients are asked to remember as many of the words as they can from the 6 trials. Maximum raw score is a 12 for free recall. If a patient is unable to recall a word, they are given a chance to recognize it among three incorrect word choices. Maximum raw score for recognition is 12. The greater the score on the delayed recall portion, the better the patient does on the assessment. (NCT01876823)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 48

Change in Selective Reminding Test - Total Immediate Recall (SRT-IR)

Change in Selective Reminding Test-Total Immediate Recall (SRT-IR) scores from baseline to Week 48: Measures word recall (maximum 12 words per trial, across 6 trials). Maximum total recall score across 6 trials is 72; minimum recall is 0 across 6 trials. The higher the raw score, the better the patient did at recalling the target words. The unit of measure is the raw score, or the sum of the number of words recalled across all 6 trials. (NCT01876823)
Timeframe: baseline, 48 weeks

Change in Trails A

Change in Trails A scores from baseline to Week 48: Measures attention and executive function. It asks patients to connect numbers from 1-25 in numerical order as fast as they can. Patients are timed; the longer it takes for the patient to connect the numbers, the worse their score. Unit of measure is in seconds. The amount of errors that the patient makes during trails is also recorded. (NCT01876823)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 48

Change in Trails B

Change from baseline to Week 48 on Trails B: Measures attention and executive function. It asks patients to connect numbers and letters in numerical to alphabetical order from (1-13 and A-L) as fast as they can. Patients are timed; the longer it takes for the patient to connect the numbers and letters, the worse their score. Unit of measure is in seconds. The amount of errors that the patient makes during trails is also recorded. (NCT01876823)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 48

Change in Wechsler Memory Scale-III (WMS-III)

Change in Wechsler Memory Scale-III scores from baseline to Week 48: The WMS-III Visual Reproduction sub-test was used to measure visual working memory and delayed memory. Patients were shown pictures of four drawings and were asked to reproduce them from memory immediately after seeing them, and 25 minutes after seeing them. The four scores are summed and the greater the total raw score, the better the patient did on the assessment. The maximum raw score for this test is a 41 on both the immediate and delayed portions (the overall range is 0-82 points). The change score is calculated using the total scores of both the immediate and delayed portions. (NCT01876823)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 48

Conversion to Dementia Using Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR)

The CDR is a numeric rating scale that is used to quantify the severity of one's cognitive function. The scale goes from 0=normal; 0.5=mild cognitive impairment; 1 to 3=mild to moderate/severe dementia. CDR was used a dichotomous outcome measure (no=0; yes=1). (NCT01876823)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 48

Change in Clinical Global Impression - Cognitive Change

The CGI Cognitive Change follows a seven-point likert scale. Compared to the patient's condition at baseline in the study [prior to medication initiation], the patient's condition is rated as: 1=very much improved since the initiation of treatment; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change from baseline (the initiation of treatment); 5=minimally worse; 6= much worse; 7=very much worse since the initiation of treatment. Responses from the entire group were calculated. Mean at final visit and baseline is reported below. (NCT01876823)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 48

Change in Clinical Global Impression - Depression Change

The CGI Depression Change follows a seven-point likert scale. Compared to the patient's condition at baseline in the study [prior to medication initiation], the patient's condition is rated as: 1=very much improved since the initiation of treatment; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change from baseline (the initiation of treatment); 5=minimally worse; 6= much worse; 7=very much worse since the initiation of treatment. Responses were calculated for the entire group. Mean at final visit has been reported below. Higher mean at baseline indicates a decrease in depression scores. (NCT01876823)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 48

Change in Treatment Emergent Side Effects (TESS)

"Somatic side effect rating scale which includes 26 common somatic side effects associated with previous medication clinical trials; rated by the study physician. Factors were dichotomized to yes or no responses on this scale, which equated to the symptom being either present or not present. Yes and no responses were given a value of 0 (no) or 1 (yes). Responses from the entire group were calculated and the mean at baseline and the last visit is reported below." (NCT01876823)
Timeframe: Baseline, Week 48
