Clinical Trial Summary

Approximately 20 sites in Korea including the Catholic University of Korea, Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital.

Patients with Depressive disorders taking a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant or Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), who additionally administered Buspar® Tab (Buspirone) to control symptom of anxiety.

Primary objective: To evaluate the efficacy of treating the symptoms of anxiety at 12 weeks from the baseline after the administration of Buspar® Tab (Buspirone) to patients with depression by using the Hamilton Anxiety (HAM-A). Approximately 400 participants (including 10% dropouts) Rating Scale

Description:

In this study, necessary data will be collected by history taking and medical record review of patients who are taking an SSRI or SNRI antidepressant in the clinical practice and at the same time being additionally administered Buspar® Tab (Buspirone) for the treatment of symptoms of anxiety.

Encourage outpatients with depression accompanied by symptoms of anxiety visiting medical centers in Korea to participate in this study and obtain voluntary consent from them. Have the patients sign the instruction and informed consent form for the use of personal information and enroll them if they meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Collect the following data in the case report form (CRF) during the 12-week follow-up observation period.

The HAM-A, HAM-D, and CGI-S are measured at the baseline and at 4, 8, and 12 weeks. The CGI-I is measured at 4, 8, and 12 weeks, and the SDS and WHO-5 are measured at the baseline and at 12 weeks. The following data regarding all the subjects enrolled in this study are collected in the CRF during the 12-week follow-up observation period.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) score	change from baseline in HAM-A score at week 12 The scale consists of 14 items designed to assess the severity of a patient's anxiety. Each of the 14 items contains a number of symptoms, and each group of symptoms is rated on a scale of zero to four, with four being the most severe. All of these scores are used to compute an overarching score that indicates a person's anxiety severity.	at 12 weeks
Secondary	Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) score	change from baseline in HAM-A score at week 4,8; *The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) consists of 14 items, each defined by a series of symptoms, and measures both psychic anxiety (mental agitation and psychological distress) and somatic anxiety (physical complaints related to anxiety). Each item is scored on a scale of 0 (not present) to 4 (severe), with a total score range of 0-56, where <17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate severity and 25-30 moderate to severe.	at 4 and 8 weeks
Secondary	Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) score	change from baseline in HAM-D score at week 4,8 and 12; *The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) contains 17 items (HDRS17) pertaining to symptoms of depression experienced over the past week. For the HDRS17, a score of 0-7 is generally accepted to be within the normal range (or in clinical remission), while a score of 20 or higher (indicating at least moderate severity) is usually required for entry into a clinical trial.	at 4, 8, and 12 weeks
Secondary	Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity(CGI-S)	change from baseline in CGI-S score at week 4,8 and 12; *The CGI-Severity (CGI-S) asks the clinician one question: "Considering your total clinical experience with this particular population, how mentally ill is the patient at this time?" which is rated on the following seven-point scale: 1=normal, not at all ill; 2=borderline mentally ill; 3=mildly ill; 4=moderately ill; 5=markedly ill; 6=severely ill; 7=among the most extremely ill patients.	at 4, 8, and 12 weeks
Secondary	Clinical Global Impression Scale-Improvement(CGI-I)	Score at week 4,8 and 12 point after medication; *The CGI-Improvement (CGI-I) is similarly simple. Each time the patient is seen after medication has been initiated, the clinician compares the patient's overall clinical condition to the one week period just prior to the initiation of medication use (the so-called baseline visit). Only the following one query is rated on a seven-point scale: "Compared to the patient's condition at admission to the project [prior to medication initiation], this patient's condition is: 1=very much improved since the initiation of treatment; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change from baseline (the initiation of treatment); 5=minimally worse; 6= much worse; 7=very much worse since the initiation of treatment."	at 4, 8, and 12 weeks
Secondary	Sheehan Disability Scale(SDS) score	change from baseline in SDS score at week 12; *Sheehan Disability Scale(SDS) generates 4 scores: a work disability score, a social life disability score, a family life disability score and a total score. To get a total score add up the 3 individual scores (work: social life: family life). The maximum possible score is 30.	at 12 weeks
Secondary	5-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index(WHO-5)	change from baseline in WHO-5 score at week 12; *WHO-5 Well-being Index (WHO-5) consists of five positively worded items that are rated on 6-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (representing worst possible) to 5 (representing best possible quality of life).	at 12 weeks
