What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
CDRS-R Total Score (Child) (mITT w/LOCF Population) Week 12
A summary of the primary efficacy outcome measure, Children's Depression Rating Scale (CDRS-R) Total Score, as reported by the Child, at Week 12 (EOS), by treatment assigned, is shown for the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population, with the last observation carried forward (LOCF) in time.
CDRS-R total raw scores range from 17(minimum) 113(maximum). A lower score indicates a lower likelihood of a depressive disorder, a higher score indicates a higher likelihood of a depressive disorder. Two subscales are summed to calculate a total score: Evaluated Symptom Area and Ratings of Observed Nonverbal Behavior.
Measured: baseline and 12 Weeks
Secondary outcomes (18)
CGI-S - Week 12 (mITT w/LOCF Population)
A summary of the Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) at baseline and Week 12 (EOS), by treatment assigned, is shown for the mITT population with LOCF. The CGI-s is the clinician's assessment of severity of illness (depression). Scores range from 1(minimum) to 7(maximum). A lower score indicates lower illness severity, a higher score indicates higher levels of illness severity.
Measured: Baseline and 12 Weeks
CGI-C - Week 12 (mITT w/LOCF Population)
A summary of the Clinicians Global Impression of Change (CGI-C) Score at Week 12 (EOS), by treatment assigned, is shown for the mITT population with LOCF. The CGI-c assesses the overall change in the severity of illness (depression). The clinician rates the subject's change based on a bipolar scale from 1(minimum; "Very much improved") to 7(maximum; "Very much worse"). A lower score indicates lower levels of depression as compared to baseline, a higher score indicates higher levels of depression as compared to baseline. A score of 4 ("Unchanged") indicates no change in illness compared to baseline. The scale is not calculated as a statistical change score; the clinician rates their impression of change overall.
Measured: 12 Weeks
CGI-C Percent Responders (mITT w/LOCF Population)
A summary of the CGI-C percent responders at Week 12 (EOS), by treatment assigned, is shown for the mITT population with LOCF. CGI-C responders were defined as a score of 1 or 2 at the end of the study. A non-responder was defined as a score of ≥3 at end of study. Maximum score is 100%.
Measured: 12 Weeks
CDRS-R Total Score (Parent/Other) Week 12 (mITT w/LOCF Population)
A summary of a secondary efficacy outcome measure, Children's Depression Rating Scale (CDRS-R) Total Score (Scored by Parent/Other), at Week 12 (EOS), by treatment assigned, is shown for the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population, with the last observation carried forward (LOCF) in time.
CDRS-R (Parent/Other) total raw scores range from 14 (minimum) 94 (maximum). A lower score indicates a lower likelihood of a depressive disorder, a higher score indicates a higher likelihood of a depressive disorder. One subscale is summed to calculate a total score: Evaluated Symptom Area. Ratings of Observed Nonverbal Behavior subscale is not included in Parent/Other total calculation.
Measured: Baseline and 12 Weeks
CDRS-R Total Score (Best Description) Week 12 (mITT w/LOCF Population)
A summary of a secondary efficacy outcome measure, Children's Depression Rating Scale (CDRS-R) Total Score (Best Description), at Week 12 (EOS), by treatment assigned, is shown for the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population, with the last observation carried forward (LOCF) in time.
Best Description ratings are used when ratings based on interviews with different sources (e.g., child, parent, other ratings) differ for a particular symptom. The evaluator must determine which of these ratings most accurately represents the current affective functioning of the child, and circle that rating in the Best Description of Child Column.
CDRS-R (Best Description)total raw scores range from 17(minimum) 113(maximum). A lower score indicates a lower likelihood of a depressive disorder, a higher score indicates a higher likelihood of a depressive disorder. Two subscales are summed to calculate a total score: Evaluated Symptom Area and Ratings of Observed Nonverbal Behavior.
Measured: 12 Weeks
CDRS-R Total Score (Child) Week 12 (mITT w/OC Population)
A summary of the secondary efficacy outcome measure, Children's Depression Rating Scale (CDRS-R) Total Score (Scored by Child), at Week 12 (EOS), by treatment assigned, is shown for the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population with observed cases (w/OC).
CDRS-R (Child) total raw scores range from 17(minimum) 113(maximum). A lower score indicates a lower likelihood of a depressive disorder, a higher score indicates a higher likelihood of a depressive disorder. Two subscales are summed to calculate a total score: Evaluated Symptom Area and Ratings of Observed Nonverbal Behavior.
Measured: 12 Weeks
CDRS-R Total Score (Parent/Other) Week 12 (mITT w/OC Population)
A summary of a secondary efficacy outcome measure, Children's Depression Rating Scale (CDRS-R) Total Score (Scored by Parent/Other), at Week 12 (EOS), by treatment assigned, is shown for the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population with observed cases (w/OC).
CDRS-R (Parent/Other) total raw scores range from 14 (minimum) 94 (maximum). A lower score indicates a lower likelihood of a depressive disorder, a higher score indicates a higher likelihood of a depressive disorder. One subscale is summed to calculate a total score: Evaluated Symptom Area. Ratings of Observed Nonverbal Behavior subscale is not included in Parent/Other total calculation.
Measured: 12 Weeks
CDRS-R Total Score (Best Description) Week 12 (mITT w/OC Population)
A summary of a secondary efficacy outcome measure, Children's Depression Rating Scale (CDRS-R) Total Score (Best Description), at Week 12 (EOS), by treatment assigned, is shown for the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population, with observed cases (w/OC).
Best Description ratings are used when ratings based on interviews with different sources (e.g., child, parent, other ratings) differ for a particular symptom area. The evaluator must determine which of these ratings most accurately represents the current affective functioning of the child, and circle that rating in the Best Description of Child Column.
CDRS-R (Best Description) total raw scores range from 17(minimum) 113(maximum).

A Phase 4 study testing Selegiline Transdermal System in people with Major Depressive Disorder, run by Somerset Pharmaceuticals at 20 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 20 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jun 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
CDRS-R Total Score (Child) (mITT w/LOCF Population) Week 12 (time frame: baseline and 12 Weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00531947, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jan 2014.
