Clinical Trial Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to assess whether at least 1 dose of LY2216684 (12 milligrams [mg] or 18 mg once daily) is superior to placebo once daily in the adjunctive treatment of participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) who were identified as partial responders to an adequate course of treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) during an 8-week, double-blind, acute adjunctive treatment phase.

Description:

Following the Confirmation Phase, participants were randomized to adjunctive LY2216684 or adjunctive placebo if they met the following randomization criteria: had <25% improvement in the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score over the past 3 weeks and a current MADRS total score ≥14. Participants who did not meet criteria received adjunctive placebo to preserve the blind.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change From Randomization to Week 8 in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score	The MADRS is a rating scale for severity of depressive mood symptoms. The MADRS had a 10-item checklist. Items were rated on a scale of 0 to 6, for a total score range of 0 (low severity of depressive symptoms) to 60 (high severity of depressive symptoms). Least Squares (LS) means were calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) adjusting for treatment, investigator, visit, baseline score, treatment-by-visit and baseline score-by-visit.	Randomization, 8 weeks
Secondary	Change From Randomization to Week 8 in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Global Functional Impairment Scale	The SDS was completed by the participant and used to assess the effect of the participant's symptoms on their work (Item 1), social (Item 2), and family life (Item 3). Each item is measured on a 0 (not at all) to 10 (extremely) point scale with higher values indicating greater disruption. The Global Function Impairment Score is the sum of the 3 items, and scores ranged from 0 to 30 with higher values indicating disruption in the participant's work life (work/school impairment score), social life (social life/leisure activities impairment score), and family life (family life/home responsibilities impairment score). Least Squares (LS) means were calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) adjusting for treatment, investigator, visit, baseline score, treatment-by-visit and baseline score-by-visit.	Randomization, 8 weeks
Secondary	Change From Randomization to Week 8 in Fatigue Associated With Depression (FAsD) Impact Subscale Score	The FAsD is a participant-rated scale with a total of 13 items. Six of the 13 items ask how often participants experience different aspects of fatigue with responses from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Seven of the 13 items ask how often fatigue impacts various aspects of the participant's lives with responses from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much). The impact subscale score was derived by taking the mean of Items 7 through 13 (applicable items only). Item 12 applied only to participants with a spouse or significant other, and Item 13 applied to participants who had a job or who went to school. Least Squares (LS) means were calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) adjusting for treatment, investigator, visit, baseline subscale score, treatment-by-visit and baseline subscale score-by-visit.	Randomization, 8 weeks
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Achieving a Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score of Less Than or Equal 10 up to Week 8	A MADRS total score of less than or equal to 10 was defined as remission criteria. The MADRS is a rating scale for severity of depressive mood symptoms. The MADRS had a 10-item checklist. Items were rated on a scale of 0 to 6 for a total score range of 0 (low severity of depressive symptoms) to 60 (high severity of depressive symptoms). Percentage of participants was calculated by dividing the number of participants who meet criteria for remission by the total number of participants analyzed, multiplied by 100%.	Randomization up to 8 weeks
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Achieving a Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score of Less Than or Equal 10 for at Least 2 Consecutive Measurements, Including the Participant's Last Measurement	A MADRS total score of less than or equal to 10 for at least 2 consecutive measurements, including the participant's last measurement, was defined as remission criteria at last 2 consecutive visits. The MADRS is a rating scale for severity of depressive mood symptoms. The MADRS had a 10-item checklist. Items were rated on a scale of 0 to 6 for a total score range of 0 (low severity of depressive symptoms) to 60 (high severity of depressive symptoms). Percentage of participants was calculated by dividing the number of participants who meet criteria for remission at last 2 consecutive visits by the total number of participants analyzed, multiplied by 100%.	Randomization up to 8 weeks
Secondary	Change From Randomization to Week 8 in Hospital and Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Anxiety Subscale Score	The HADS is a 14-item questionnaire with 2 subscales: anxiety and depression. Each item was rated on a 4-point scale (0-3), giving maximum scores of 21 for anxiety and depression subscale. Scores of 11 or more on either subscale were considered to be a significant 'case' of psychological morbidity, while scores of 8-10 represent 'borderline' and 0-7 represent 'normal'. Least Squares (LS) means were calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) adjusting for treatment, investigator, visit, baseline subscale score, treatment-by-visit, and baseline subscale score-by-visit.	Randomization, 8 weeks
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Who Have a Greater Than or Equal to 50 Percent Improvement in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score From Randomization up to Week 8	A greater than or equal to 50 percent improvement (that is, a decrease from baseline) in the MADRS total score was defined as response criteria. The MADRS is a rating scale for severity of depressive mood symptoms. The MADRS had a 10-item checklist. Items were rated on a scale of 0 to 6, for a total score range of 0 (low severity of depressive symptoms) to 60 (high severity of depressive symptoms). Percentage of participants was calculated by dividing the number of participants meeting response criteria at last visit by the total number of participants analyzed, multiplied by 100%.	Randomization up to 8 weeks

Secondary	Change From Randomization to Week 8 in Fatigue Associated With Depression (FAsD) Average Score and Experience Subscale Score	The FAsD is a participant-rated scale with a total of 13 items. Six of the 13 items ask how often participants experience different aspects of fatigue with responses from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Seven of the 13 items ask how often fatigue impacts various aspects of the participant's lives with responses from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much). The experience subscale score was derived by taking the mean of Items 1 through 6, and the average score was the mean of Items 1 through 13 (derived by taking the mean of all applicable items for each participant). Item 12 applied only to participants with a spouse or significant other, and Item 13 applied to participants who had a job or who went to school. Least Squares (LS) means were calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) adjusting for treatment, investigator, visit, baseline score, treatment-by-visit and baseline score-by-visit.	Randomization, 8 weeks
Secondary	Change From Randomization to Week 8 in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Items	The Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) was completed by the participant and used to assess the effect of the participant's symptoms on their work (work/school impairment score), social life (social life/leisure activities impairment score), and family life (family life/home responsibilities impairment score). Each item is measured on a 0 (not at all) to 10 (extremely) point scale with higher values indicating greater disruption. Least Squares (LS) means were calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) adjusting for treatment, investigator, visit, baseline item score, treatment-by-visit, and baseline item score-by-visit.	Randomization, 8 weeks
Secondary	Change From Randomization to Week 8 in the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF)	The Q-LES-Q-SF is a self-administered 16-item questionnaire that measures degree of enjoyment and satisfaction experienced in various areas of daily life during the past week on a 5-point, Likert scale (1=very poor and 5=very good). The total raw score is the sum of items 1 to 14 and ranges from 14 to 70. The raw scores are converted to and expressed as the percentage of the maximum possible score. Higher scores indicate higher levels of enjoyment/satisfaction. Least Squares (LS) means were calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) adjusting for treatment, investigator, visit, baseline score, treatment-by-visit and baseline score-by-visit.	Randomization, 8 weeks
Secondary	Change From Randomization to Week 8 in the EuroQol Questionnaire-5 Dimension (EQ-5D)	The EQ-5D Visual Analog Scale is a generic, multidimensional, health-related, quality-of-life instrument. Overall health state score is self-reported using a visual analogue scale, marked on a scale of 0 to 100 with 0 representing the worst imaginable health state and 100 representing best imaginable health state. Least Squares (LS) means were calculated using mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) adjusting for treatment, investigator, visit, baseline score, treatment-by-visit and baseline score-by-visit.	Randomization, 8 weeks
Secondary	Percentage of Treatment Emergent (TE) Suicidal Ideation and Behaviors Assessed by Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)	The C-SSRS captured occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors. Suicidal ideation was defined as a 'yes' answer to any 1 of 5 suicidal ideation questions, which included a wish to be dead and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation. Suicidal behavior was defined as a 'yes' answer to any of 5 suicidal behavior questions: preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide. Suicidal ideation and behavior are defined as TE if not present at baseline. Percentage of participants was calculated by dividing the number of participants with suicide-related TE events by the total number of participants at risk, multiplied by 100%. A summary of serious and other non-serious adverse events regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Event module.	Randomization through 8 weeks
