- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Children Depression Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R) Total Score After Treatment From Randomization to Week 8 The CDRS-R is a clinician-rated scale to measure the severity of depression of children and adolescents. The CDRS-R consists of 17 items: 14 items rate verbal observations, and three items rate nonverbal observations (tempo of language, hypoactivity, and nonverbal expression of depressed affect). Depression symptoms are rated on a 5-point scale from 1 to 5 for the verbal observations, and a 7-point scale from 1 to 7 for the nonverbal observations. The total score ranges from 17 (normal) to 113 (severe depression).

Change from randomization to Week 8 in GBI Total Parent/Guardian Version Depression score. GBI is a self-report inventory with 73 items focused on mood-related behaviors including depressive, hypomanic, and biphasic symptoms. One 20-item subscale completed by parent/guardian. Symptoms rated on 4-point Likert scale from 0 (never/hardly ever) to 3 (often/almost constantly). Minimum score 0=better outcome, maximum score 60=worse outcome.
Change General Behaviour Inventory (GBI) Depression Subscale Score Assessed by the Child From randomization to Week 8 The GBI 10-item mania scale is a parent- and subject-rated scale designed to screen for manic symptoms in children and adolescents. The 10 items are rated on a scale from 0 (never or hardly ever) to 3 (very often or almost constantly). The total score ranges from 0 to 30 points, with high scores indicating greater pathology.
Parent Global Assessment-Global Improvement (PGA) Score From Randomization to Week 8 The PGA is a parent-rated variation of the CGI-I to evaluate the severity of the child's symptoms. The PGA reflects assessments of change from Baseline symptoms using a 7 point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).
Change in Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) From Randomization to Week 8 The Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) is a cognitive test designed to assess speed of performance requiring visual perception, spatial decision-making and psychomotor skills.

Each correct digit is counted, and the total score ranges from 0 (less than normal functioning) to 110 (greater than normal functioning).
Change in Clinical Global Impression Severity of Illness (CGI-S) Score From Randomization to Week 8 The CGI-S provides the clinician's impression of the patient's current state of mental illness. The clinician uses his or her clinical experience of this patient population to rate the severity of the patient's current mental illness on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal - not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).
Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement (CGI-I) Score From Randomization to Week 8 The CGI-I provides the clinician's impression of the patient's improvement (or worsening). The clinician assesses the patient's condition relative to a baseline on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). In all cases, the assessment should be made independent of whether the rater believes the improvement is drug-related or not.
CGI-S Remission From Randomization to Week 8 Remission defined as CGI-S score of 1 or 2.
Change in Children's Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) Score From Randomization to Week 8 The Children's Global Assessment Score (CGAS) is a rating scale which measures psychological, social and school functioning for children. The CGAS is a clinician-rated global scale to measure the lowest level of functioning for a child (4 to 16 years) during a specified time period. The CGAS contains behaviourally oriented descriptors at each anchor point that depict behaviours and life situations applicable to a child. The items range in value from 1 (most functionally impaired child) to 100 (the healthiest). A total score above 70 indicates normal function.
