Primary | Change From Baseline in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score up to Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28])- Mixed-Effects Model Using Repeated Measures (MMRM) Analysis | The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale designed to measure depression severity and to detect changes due to antidepressant treatment. The scale consists of 10 items (to evaluates apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, sleep, appetite, concentration, lassitude, inability to feel [interest level], pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts), each of which is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), summed for a total possible score range of 0-60. Higher scores represent a more severe condition. Negative change in score indicates improvement. | Baseline up to Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase[Day 28]) | |
Primary | Change From Baseline in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score to Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28])- Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) Analysis | The MADRS is a clinician-rated scale designed to measure depression severity and to detect changes due to antidepressant treatment. The scale consists of 10 items (to evaluates apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, sleep, appetite, concentration, lassitude, inability to feel [interest level], pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts), each of which is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), summed for a total possible score range of 0-60. Higher scores represent a more severe condition. Negative change in score indicates improvement. Missing data was imputed using Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) method and last post baseline observation during the double-blind induction phase was carried forward as the "End Point" for that phase. | Baseline and Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28]) | |
Secondary | Percentage of Participants Who Achieved >=50% Reduction From Baseline in MADRS Total Score at Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28]) (LOCF Data) | Percentage of participants with greater than or equal to (>=50) percent (%) reduction from baseline are reported. MADRS is clinician-rated scale designed to measure depression severity, and to detect changes due to antidepressant treatment. Scale consists of 10 items (apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, sleep, appetite, concentration, lassitude, interest level, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts), each of which is scored from 0 (item is not present or is normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of symptoms), summed for a total possible score of 0 to 60. Higher scores represent more severe condition. Missing data was imputed using LOCF method and last post baseline observation during the double-blind induction phase was carried forward as the "End Point" for that phase. | At Endpoint-Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28] | |
Secondary | Percentage of Participants in Remission (MADRS<=12) at Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28]) (LOCF Data) | Remission was defined as participants who had a MADRS total score of less than or equal to (=<) 12. MADRS is clinician-rated scale designed to measure depression severity, and to detect changes due to antidepressant treatment. Scale consists of 10 items (apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, sleep, appetite, concentration, lassitude, interest level, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts), each of which is scored from 0 (item is not present or is normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of symptoms), summed for a total possible score of 0 to 60. Higher scores represent more severe condition. Missing data was imputed using LOCF method and last post baseline observation during the double-blind induction phase was carried forward as the "End Point" for that phase. | At Endpoint-Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28] | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) Score to Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28])- ANCOVA Analysis on Ranks | CGI-S provides an overall clinician-determined summary measure of the severity of the participants illness including participants history, psychosocial circumstances, symptoms, behavior, and the impact of the symptoms on the participants ability to function. The CGI-S evaluates the severity of psychopathology on a scale of 0 to 7. Considering total clinical experience, a participant is assessed on severity of mental illness at the time of rating according to: 0=not assessed; 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. Missing data was imputed using LOCF method and last post baseline observation during the double-blind induction phase was carried forward as the "End Point" for that phase. | Baseline and Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28]) | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline in EuroQol-5 Dimension-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) to Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28]): Health Status Index | EQ-5D-5L is a 2-part instrument for use as a measure of health outcome, designed for self-completion by respondents. It consists of EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and EQ VAS. EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each has 5 levels of perceived problems (1-no problem, 2-slight problems, 3-moderate problems, 4-severe problems, 5-extreme problems). Participant selects answer for each of 5 dimensions considering response that best matches his/her health "today". Responses were used to generate a health status index (HSI). HSI ranges from -0.148 (health state value equal to dead) and 0.949 (full health), is anchored at 0 (dead) and 1 (full health). | Baseline and Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28]) | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline in EuroQol-5 Dimension-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) to Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28]): EQ-VAS | EQ-5D-5L is a 2-part instrument for use as a measure of health outcome, designed for self-completion by respondents. It consists of EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and EQ VAS. The EQ VAS self-rating records the respondent's own assessment of his or her overall health status at the time of completion, on a scale of 0 (the worst health you can imagine) to 100 (the best health you can imagine). | Baseline and Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28]) | |
Secondary | Change From Baseline in EuroQol-5 Dimension-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) to Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28]): Sum Score | EQ-5D-5L consists of EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). EQ-5D-5L descriptive system comprises of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each has 5 levels of perceived problems (1-no problem, 2-slight problems, 3-moderate problems, 4-severe problems, 5-extreme problems). Participant selects answer for each of 5 dimensions considering response that best matches his/her health "today". Responses were used to generate a Health Status Index (HSI). HSI ranges from -0.148 (health state value equal to dead) and 0.949 (full health). EQ VAS self-rating records the respondent's own assessment of his/her overall health status at time of completion, on a scale of 0 (worst health you can imagine) to 100 (best health you can imagine). Sum score ranges from 0 to 100 where, sum score = (sum of the scores from the 5 dimensions minus 5) *5. Higher score indicates worst health state. | Baseline and Endpoint (Double-blind Induction Phase [Day 28]) |
