Change in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score - Mixed-effects Model for Repeated Measures (MMRM) Analysis.From Baseline to Week 8

The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) rates patients on 10 items to assess feelings of sadness, lassitude, pessimism, inner tension, suicidality, reduced sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, and lack of interest. Each item was scored on a 7-point scale. A score of 0 indicated the absence of symptoms, and a score of 6 indicated symptoms of maximum severity. The minimum overall score possible was 0 (absence of symptoms), with a maximum overall score of 60 (maximum severity).

Change in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total ScoreFrom Baseline to Week 8

All items are rated on an 11-point continuum (0 = no impairment to 10 = most severe) with the total SDS score ranging from 0 (no impairment) to 30 (most severe)
