Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change From Baseline in the 17-item HAM-D Total Score at Day 15

Time Frame: Baseline (BL), Day 15

The 17-item HAM-D is used to rate the severity of depression in participants who were already diagnosed as depressed. The HAM-D total score comprises a sum of the 17 individual item scores. 8 items scored in a range of 0 to 2 include: Insomnia (early, middle, late), somatic symptoms (gastrointestinal and general), genital symptoms, loss of weight, and insight. The following 9 items are scored in a range of 0 to 4: Agitation, depressed mood, feelings of guilt, suicide, work and activities, retardation, anxiety (psychic and somatic), and hypochondriasis. Total HAM-D score can range from 0 to 52, and higher scores indicate severe depression. A negative change from baseline indicates less depression.
