ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D; 17 Items) Total Score at Week 8Baseline (Week 0) and Week 8
The HAM-D measures the severity of depressive symptoms in participants with major depressive disorder (MDD). It is a checklist of 17 items that are ranked on a scale of 0-4 or 0-2. The range for the total score (which is the sum of the scores of all 17 items) is 0-52; a higher score indicates greater severity of symptoms. Mean change from baseline was calculated as the value at Week 8 minus the Baseline value.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in the HAM-D Total Score at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8Baseline (Week 0); Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8
The HAM-D measures the severity of depressive symptoms in participants with MDD. It is a checklist of 17 items that are ranked on a scale of 0-4 or 0-2. The range for the total score (which is the sum of the scores of all 17 items) is 0-52; a higher score indicates greater severity of symptoms. Mean change from baseline was calculated as the value at each time point minus the Baseline value.
SecondaryPercentage of HAM-D Responders at Weeks 4 and 8Weeks 4 and 8
The HAM-D measures the severity of depressive symptoms in participants with MDD. It is a checklist of 17 items that are ranked on a scale of 0-4 or 0-2. The range for the total score (which is a sum of the scores of all 17 items) is 0-52; a higher score indicates greater severity of symptoms. Responders are defined as participants with a 50 percent or greater reduction from baseline in the HAM-D total score.
SecondaryPercentage of HAM-D Remitters at Weeks 4 and 8Weeks 4 and 8
The HAM-D measures the severity of depressive symptoms in participants with MDD. It is a checklist of 17 items that are ranked on a scale of 0-4 or 0-2. The range for the total score (which is the sum of the scores of all 17 items) is 0-52; a higher score indicates greater severity of symptoms. Remitters are defined as participants with a HAM-D total score of 7 or less.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline in the Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness (CGI-SI) Scores at Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8Baseline (Week 0); Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8
The 7-point CGI-SI scale assesses the clinician's impression of the participant's current illness state. Scores on the CGI-SI range from 1 = not ill at all to 7 = among the most extremely ill. Mean change from baseline was calculated as the value at each time point minus the baseline value.
SecondaryPercentage of Responders Based on the Clinical Global Impression-Global Improvement (CGI-GI) Scores at Weeks 4 and 8Weeks 4 and 8
The 7-point CGI-GI assesses the participant's improvement or worsening from baseline. Scores on the CGI-GI range from 1 = very much improved to 7 = very much worse. Responders are defined as participants with a score of 1 or 2 = much improved.

PRIMARYAdjusted Mean Change From Baseline in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D; 17 Items) Total Score at Week 8Baseline (Week 0) and Week 8
Full Analysis Set (FAS): all participants who entered the treatment phase (8 weeks), excluding those who had taken no dose of the investigational product for the treatment phase and who had no data on the HAM-D total score after the start of the treatment phase. The analysis was performed on the last observation carried forward (LOCF) dataset.

FAS. The analysis was performed on the following datasets: the observed case (OC) dataset for Week 1 and the LOCF dataset for Weeks 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8, where missing values were imputed by the last observed value in the longitudinal data. One participant in the Paroxetine CR group was not included in the OC analysis for having a missing value.
