结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score to Week 8
时间窗: Baseline (At the start of double-blind treatment period), up to 8 weeks
MADRS is a 10-item clinician rated scale to measure overall severity of depressive symptoms (such as apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension). MADRS corresponds to core symptoms of depression, and rated on a 7-point Likert scale from 0 (symptoms absent) to 6 (severe depression) with a total possible score range from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate greater severity of symptoms. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
