Registered outcomes3

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryHamilton Depression Rating Scale Percent Change From Day 0 to D56% change from baseline to Day 56 ( week 8)
Utilized the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM), 21-item version to assess depressive symptoms, with a range of 0-63. Higher scores indicate more depression. For the change score, it is Baseline less Day 56 HAM total / Baseline. Thus, larger values mean a greater decrease in the level of depression
PrimaryVoxel-wise Changes in Resting State Functional Connectivity to the Posterior Cingulate Cortexbaseline and week 8
The dependent variable, measured in more than 30,000 voxels across the whole brain, was the functional connectivity between the posterior cingulate cortex seed region and each voxel. This is derived as the correlation coefficient between the blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signal timeseries in the seed region and the BOLD signal timeseries in each voxel.
SecondaryHamilton Anxiety Scale% change in anxiety from Day 1 to Day 56 (week 8)
Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) was utilized. Scores range from 0-56, with higher scores indicating more anxiety. The change score utilized baseline and Day 56 (week 8) scores. The change scores was HAMA day 1 less Ham A day 56 / HAMA Day 1. Thus, larger numbers equal a greater reduction in anxiety.

PRIMARYHamilton Depression Rating Scale Percent Change From Day 0 to D56% change from baseline to Day 56 ( week 8)Only participants completing the protocol are included in the analysis; thus, the N = 12. Only participants in the Depressed group were analyzed for change in depressive symptoms.percentage of change in depressionMEAN
PRIMARYVoxel-wise Changes in Resting State Functional Connectivity to the Posterior Cingulate Cortexbaseline and week 8
Owing to the limited sample size, we first examined this measure in the depressed subjects using a paired-sample t-test at each of the 30,000+ voxels. No significant voxels were detected in this analysis and so subsequent analyses combining the depressed subjects and the healthy control subjects in a single model were not performed.
