What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)
The MADRS is a rating scale for severity of depressive mood symptoms. The MADRS is a 10-item checklist with items rated on a scale of 0-6, for a total scores range of 0 (low severity of depressive symptoms) to 60 (high severity of depressive symptoms). Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using mixed model repeating measures (MMRM) and adjusted for investigator, treatment-by-visit, baseline score, and baseline-by-visit.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Secondary outcomes (12)
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in 16-Item Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Rated (QIDS-SR16) Total Score
QIDS-SR16 is a 16-item, participant-rated measure of depressive symptomatology with 4 possible answers per question that are specific to the question. Each question (Q) is scored from 0 (no problems) to 3 (increased symptoms). The total score for each visit is the sum of 9 of the 16 items: the highest number from Q1-4 (sleep), number from Q5 (feeling sad), highest number from Q6-9 (appetite and weight), total for Q10-14 (concentration, view of self, thoughts of death or suicide, general interest and energy level respectively) and the highest number from Q15-16 (psychomotor changes). The total score ranges from 0 to 27 with higher scores indicating greater severity of depression. Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using mixed model repeating measures (MMRM) and adjusted for treatment, investigator, visit, treatment-by-visit, baseline score, and baseline-by-visit.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in 16-Item Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Rated (QIDS-SR16) Individual Items
QIDS-SR16 is a 16-item, participant-rated measure of depressive symptomatology with 4 possible answers per question that are specific to the question. Each question (Q) is scored from 0 (no problems) to 3 (increased symptoms). The total score for each visit is the sum of 9 of the 16 items: the highest number from Q1-4 (sleep), number from Q5 (feeling sad), highest number from Q6-9 (appetite and weight), total for Q10-14 (concentration, view of self, thoughts of death or suicide, general interest and energy level respectively) and the highest number from Q15-16 (psychomotor changes). Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using mixed model repeated measure (MMRM) and adjusted for treatment, investigator, visit, treatment-by-visit, baseline score, and baseline-by-visit.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)
HADS is a 14-item questionnaire with 2 subscales: anxiety and depression. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale (0-3), giving maximum scores of 21 for each subscale. Scores of 11 or more on either subscale are considered to be a significant 'case' of psychological morbidity, while scores of 8-10 represent 'borderline' and 0-7 is 'normal.' Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment, investigator, visit, treatment-by-visit, investigator, and baseline score.
Measured: Baseline, up to 8 weeks
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S)
CGI-S measures severity of illness at the time of assessment. Scores range from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill participants). Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) and adjusted for treatment, investigator, visit, treatment-by visit, baseline score, and baseline-by-visit.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in Massachusetts General Hospital Cognitive and Physical Functioning Questionnaire (CPFQ)
The CPFQ is a 7-item participant-rated questionnaire pertaining to a participant's cognitive and physical well-being. It assesses motivation, wakefulness, energy, focus, recall, word-finding difficulty, and mental acuity. Each item is scored on a 6-point scale ranging from 1 (greater than normal) to 6 (totally absent). Total score ranges from 7 to 42. Higher scores indicate greater disease severity. Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) and adjusted for treatment, investigator, visit, treatment-by-visit, baseline score, and baseline-by-visit.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in Fatigue Associated With Depression Participant-Reported Outcome (FAsD PRO)
The FAsD PRO is a 16-item participant-rated scale. Seven items ask how often the participants experience different aspects of fatigue with each item rated on a 5-point scale: 1 (Never) to 5 (Always). Nine items ask how often fatigue impacts various aspects of the participants lives with each item rated on a 5-point scale: 1 (Not at all) to 5 (Very much). The Fatigue Experience Score is the mean of Items 1-5, and 7, the Fatigue Impact Score is the mean of Items 8-12, 14, and 16, and the Overall Average Score is the mean of Items 1-5, 7-12, 14 and 16. The Experience, Impact and Overall Mean Scores range from 1 to 5, lower scores indicate less experience/impact. Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment, investigator, and baseline score.
Measured: Baseline, up to 8 weeks
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in Visual Analog Scale for Fatigue (VAS-F)
VAS-F is a self-rated assessment on 2 items: the overall severity of fatigue and the interferences with daily activities due to fatigue. For the overall severity of fatigue the participant is asked to place a vertical mark on a 100 millimeter (mm) line between 2 anchors: 0 (not at all) and 100 (as severe as I can imagine). For the interference with daily activities due to fatigue, the participant is asked to place a vertical mark on a 100 mm line between 2 anchors: 0 (not at all) and 100 [complete disability (unable to do any activities)]. Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment, investigator, and baseline score.
Measured: Baseline, up to 8 weeks
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in Visual Analog Scale for Pain (VAS-P)
VAS-P is a self-rated assessment for 2 items: the overall severity of pain and the interferences with daily activities due to pain. For the overall severity of pain the participant is asked to place a vertical mark on a 100 millimeter (mm) line between 2 anchors: 0 (not at all) and 100 (as severe as I can imagine). For the interference with daily activities due to pain, the participant is asked to place a vertical mark on a 100-mm line between 2 anchors: 0 (not at all) and 100 [complete disability (unable to do any activities)]. Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment, investigator, and baseline score.
Measured: Baseline, up to 8 weeks
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS)
The SDS is a 3-item, participant completed assessment and is used to assess the effect of the participant's symptoms on their work/social/family life. The Global Functional Impairment Total Score is a total of the 3 individual item scores, each with a scores range from 0 (not at all) to 10 (extremely). The Global Functional Impairment Total Scores range from 0 to 30 with higher values indicating greater disruption in the participant's work/social/family life. Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment, investigator, and baseline score.
Measured: Baseline, up to 8 weeks
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Survey-Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF)
The Q-LES-Q-SF is a self-administered 16-item questionnaire measuring degree of enjoyment and satisfaction experienced in various areas of daily life during the past week, and is rated on a 5-point Likert scale: 1 (very poor) to 5 (very good). The Q-LES-Q-SF Total Raw Score is the sum of Items 1 to 14 and ranges from 14 to 70. The Q-LES-Q-SF Raw Scores are converted to, and expressed as the percentage of the maximum possible score. Higher scores indicate higher levels of enjoyment/satisfaction. Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment, investigator, and baseline score.
Measured: Baseline, up to 8 weeks
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks Massachusetts General Hospital Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (MGH-SFQ)
The MGH-SFQ is a 6-item participant-rated scale quantifying sexual interest, arousal (subjective excitement), ability to reach orgasm, erectile function (for males), and overall satisfaction and are scored on a 6-point scale: 1 (greater than normal) to 6 (totally absent); and overall improvement since last medication change is scored on a 6-point scale: 1 (very much improved) to 6 (much worse). Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and adjusted for treatment, investigator, and baseline score.
Measured: Baseline, up to 8 weeks
Colombia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
Percent of participants with suicidal ideation, behavior and acts based on C-SSRS. The C-SSRS scale captures occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors. Suicidal behavior: a "yes" answer to any 1 of 5 suicidal behavior questions (preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide). Suicidal ideation: a "yes" answer to any 1 of 5 suicidal ideation questions (wish to be dead, and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation). Suicidal act: a "yes" answer to actual attempt or completed suicide.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks

Primary outcome
Change From Baseline to 8 Weeks in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)
Time frame: Baseline, 8 weeks
The MADRS is a rating scale for severity of depressive mood symptoms. The MADRS is a 10-item checklist with items rated on a scale of 0-6, for a total scores range of 0 (low severity of depressive symptoms) to 60 (high severity of depressive symptoms). Least Squares (LS) means are calculated using mixed model repeating measures (MMRM) and adjusted for investigator, treatment-by-visit, baseline score, and baseline-by-visit.
