What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants With a Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    A TEAE was defined as an event that was absent before treatment and emerged or worsened during the treatment period.

    Measured: From Week 8 (B2061032)/Day 1 (B2061030) to Week 26 of B2061030

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) (Combination Group)

    A TEAE was defined as an event that was absent before treatment and emerged or worsened during the treatment period.

    Measured: From Week 8 (B2061032)/Day 1 (B2061030) to Week 26 of B2061030

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change From Baseline to Week 26 in Total Score on the Children's Depression Rating Scale, Revised (CDRS-R), Based on Observed Cases

    The CDRS-R consists of 17 items. The total score is the sum of responses to the 17 items and ranges from 17 to 113. Lower total scores indicate lower intensity of symptoms. Remission on the CDRS-R was defined as a CDRS-R score <=28. It was recommended that the CDRS-R be performed prior to the Clinical Global Impression assessments. Mean change from baseline=score at Week 26 minus score at baseline of study B2061032.

    Measured: From Week 8 (B2061032)/Day 1 (B2061030) to Week 26 of B2061030

  2. Change From Baseline to Week 26 in Total Score on the Children's Depression Rating Scale, Revised (CDRS-R), Based on Observed Cases (Combination Group)

    The CDRS-R consists of 17 items. The total score is the sum of responses to the 17 items and ranges from 17 to 113. Lower total scores indicate lower intensity of symptoms. Remission on the CDRS-R was defined as a CDRS-R score <=28. It was recommended that the CDRS-R be performed prior to the Clinical Global Impression assessments. Mean change from baseline=score at Week 26 minus score at baseline of study B2061032.

    Measured: From Week 8 (B2061032)/Day 1 (B2061030) to Week 26 of B2061030

  3. Change in Score From Baseline to Week 26 on the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Scale, Based on Observed Cases

    The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Scale is a tool that summarizes all available patient data, including history, symptoms, behavior, and the impact of the symptoms on ability to function. The scale consists of 2 measures: the CGI-S, which rates the severity of illness from 1 to 7, and the CGI-Improvement Scale, which assesses improvement in illness since baseline. The CGI-S is a 7-point scale a clinician uses to rate a patient's severity of illness. Scores range from 1 to 7, with 1 indicating "normal, not at all ill" and 7, "among the most extremely ill patients." Higher score on the CGI-S indicates greater severity of illness. Mean change from baseline=score at Week 26 minus score at baseline of study B2061032.

    Measured: From Week 8 (B2061032)/Day 1 (B2061030) to Week 26 of B2061030

  4. Change in Score From Baseline to Week 26 on the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Scale, Based on Observed Cases (Combination Group)

    The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Scale is a tool that summarizes all available patient data, including history, symptoms, behavior, and the impact of the symptoms on ability to function. The scale consists of 2 measures: the CGI-S, which rates the severity of illness from 1 to 7, and the CGI-Improvement Scale, which assesses improvement in illness since baseline. The CGI-S is a 7-point scale a clinician uses to rate a patient's severity of illness. Scores range from 1 to 7, with 1 indicating "normal, not at all ill" and 7, "among the most extremely ill patients." Higher score on the CGI-S indicates greater severity of illness. Mean change from baseline=score at Week 26 minus score at baseline of study B2061032.

    Measured: From Week 8 (B2061032)/Day 1 (B2061030) to Week 26 of B2061030

  5. Percentage of Participants With a Response of Very Much Improved or Much Improved on the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) Scale at Week 26, Based on Observed Cases

    The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Scale is a tool that summarizes all available patient data, including history, symptoms, behavior, and the impact of the symptoms on ability to function. The scale consists of 2 measures: the CGI-Severity scale, which rates the severity of illness from 1 to 7, and the CGI-I scale, which assesses improvement in illness since baseline. The CGI-I is a 7-point scale a clinician uses to assess improvement in a patient's illness relative to baseline. Scores range from 1 to 7, with 1 representing "very much improved" and 7 representing "very much worse"; a value of 0 meant not assessed. Lower score indicates greater improvement. Response on the CGI-I defined as the CGI-I scores of 1 or 2. Mean change from baseline=score at Week 26 minus score at baseline of study B2061032.

    Measured: From Week 8 (B2061032)/Day 1 (B2061030) to Week 26 of B2061030

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DVS SR in people with Major Depressive Disorder, run by Pfizer at 36 sites in 2 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 27 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 36 sites in United States, Chile. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 8 Dec 2016). 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?

Percentage of Participants With a Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) (time frame: From Week 8 (B2061032)/Day 1 (B2061030) to Week 26 of B2061030). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01371708, 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 27 Jul 2017.
