简要总结

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate efficacy, safety and clinical benefit of Trazodone Contramid® OAD (Once A Day) in the treatment of Unipolar Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

详细描述

This two-arm, multicentre, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-design study consisted of a baseline phase (screening and wash-out) and a double-blind randomized phase (randomization to Trazodone Contramid® OAD or placebo). The total study duration including wash-out of prohibited medications was approximately 11 weeks; the total duration of the randomized phase was 8 weeks (titration: 2 weeks + treatment: 6 weeks).

结局指标

主要结局

Change in Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) Total Score From Baseline

时间窗: Baseline to Week 8

The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale 17 items \[HAMD-17\] is a 17-item scale that evaluates depressed mood, vegetative and cognitive symptoms of depression, and co-morbid anxiety symptoms. The 17 items are rated on either a 5-point (0-4) or a 3-point (0-2) scale. In general, the 5 point scale items use a rating of 0=absent; 1=doubtful to mild; 2=mild to moderate; 3=moderate to severe; 4=very severe. The 3-point scale items use a rating of 0=absent; 1=probable or mild; 2=definite. The total HAMD-17score ranges from 0 (not ill) to 52 (severely ill).
