Trial Outcomes

Change in Clinical Global Impressions Scale for Bipolar Disorder (CGI-BP) Depression Severity Rating From Baseline at Week 6.

Change is observed value at each visit minus baseline value. CGI-BP depression severity is an instrument which measures severity of depression in bipolar disorder. Scale range: 1=normal, not ill; 7=very severely ill (NCT00566150)
Timeframe: Baseline to week 6

Change in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-21) Total Score From Baseline at Week 6.

Change is observed value at each visit minus baseline value. HDRS-21 is a 21-item instrument measuring depression. 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 60. (NCT00566150)

Change in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score From Baseline at Week 6.

Change is observed value at each visit minus baseline value. MADRS is a 10-item instrument measuring depression: scale range between 0(normal) - 6(most abnormal)for each item. Total possible score is 0 - 60. (NCT00566150)

Number of Subjects Who Achieve Remission.

"Remission response is measured as an HDRS-21 total score is less than or equal to 7.~HDRS-21 measures range of depressive symptoms. Endpoint is LOCF." (NCT00566150)
