Plasma Concentrations of RO7795081 at Prespecified TimepointsPredose on Day 1 and at prespecified timepoints until Week 38
Percent Change in Body Weight From Baseline to Week 38Baseline to Week 38
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs), and Serious AEs (SAEs)From first dose until 28 days after the final dose of study treatment (42 weeks)
Change in Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Scores from Baseline to Week 42Baseline to Week 42

The C-SSRS is an assessment tool to evaluate suicidal ideation and behavior during the assessment period via a participant-reported questionnaire comprising 2 to 6 questions (yes or no). Affirmative responses count as 1 point, which are then summed to indicate the level of suicide risk on a scale of 0 (no risk) to 6 (high risk).

Change in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) Scores from Baseline to Week 42Baseline to Week 42

PHQ-9 is a 9-item patient reported outcome (PRO) used to assess severity of depression. Responses are rated based on the frequency of symptoms on a 4-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). A PHQ-9 total score ranging from 0 to 27 can be calculated by summing the nine items; a higher score corresponds with more severe depression.
