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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

MADRS Score - Baseline

Antidepressant effects were assessed using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). It is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of depressive episodes. 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. (NCT00088699)

Antidepressant effects were assessed using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). It is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of depressive episodes. 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. (NCT00088699)

Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Score.

Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is a 21-question instrument for measuring the severity of depression. Each question has a set of at least four possible answer choices, ranging in intensity. A value of 0 to 3 is assigned for each answer and the total score is computed. Higher total scores indicate more severe depressive symptoms. (NCT00986479)

Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) Positive Score.

Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) Positive is a 4-item scale which measures positive symptoms of schizophrenia (conceptual disorganization, hallucinatory behavior, suspiciousness, and unusual thought content). Each item is rated from 1 to 7 with higher score indicating greater severity. The total score is the sum of the 4 items, resulting in a range of scores from 4-28. (NCT00986479)
