Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score.Baseline to Week 4

The MADRS is a 10-item depression rating scale used to assess the severity of depression. Individual items are scored on a 7-point scale (0 to 6). The toal score is the sum of individual items, ranging from 0 to 60; where a higher score indicates more depression.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline in the Clinical Global Impression - Severity (CGI-S) score.Baseline to Weeks 1-4 and 1- and 2- Week Follow-up

The CGI-S is a 7-point scale to rate the severity of the participant's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with participants who have the same diagnosis. A score of 1 represents "normal" and 7 represents "most extremely ill".

Incidence rates of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and TEAEs leading to withdrawal from study.Baseline to Weeks 1-4 and 1- and 2- Week Follow up
Change from Baseline in Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomology-Self-Report (QIDS-SR) total score.Baseline to Weeks 1-4 and 1- and 2- Week Follow-up

The QIDS-SR is a 16-item self-reported scale where each item has a 4-point scale where 0 represents least impact scores while 3 represents greatest impact scores. Some questions are linked. The total score ranges from 0 to 27 where a higher score indicates more depression.

Change from Baseline in Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) score.Baseline to Weeks 2 and 4

The SDMT is an assessment of complex scanning and visual tracking requiring elements of attention, visuoperceptual processing, working memory, and cognitive/psychomotor speed. The SDMT measures the time to pair abstract symbols with specific numbers. The number of correct substitutions within 90 seconds is recorded and the total score is derived from the total number of correct responses with a minimum possible score of 0 and maximum of 110 where high scores indicate better outcome.

Change from Baseline in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score.Baseline to Weeks 1-3 and 1- and 2- Week Follow-up

The MADRS is a 10-item depression rating scale used to assess the severity of depression. Individual items are scored on a 7-point scale (0 to 6). The toal score is the sum of individual items, ranging from 0 to 60; where a higher score indicates more depression.

Change from Baseline in 17-item-Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D-17) total score.Baseline to Weeks 2 and 4

The 17-item HAM-D is used to assess the severity of depression. Individual items are scored on either a 3-point (0 to 2) or a 5-point scale (0 to 4), with 0=No difficulty/absent and 4=most severe. The total score is the sum of individual items, ranging from 0 to 52; where a higher score indicates more depression.

Change from Baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) total score.Baseline to Weeks 2 and 4

The SDS is a 3-part scale that measures the degree of disruption on work, social and family life using an 11-point scale where 0 represents "no disruption" and 10 represents "extreme disruption". In addition to the 11-point scale, participants are asked to indicate the number of days in the past week that were "lost" and numbers of days that were "underproductive". The results of these questions have a range from 0 to 7. A total global functioning impairment score can be utilized by summing the scores from work, social and family life scales for a value range from 0 to 30.
