What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The efficacy of PD 0332334 in the treatment of GAD will be measured by the change in the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) total scores from baseline observed following 8 weeks of double-blind treatment.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  2. The safety and tolerability of PD 0332334 in subjects with GAD will be monitored in this study.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Response rate on the clinician-rated CGI-I at Week 1 and Week 8.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  2. Change from Baseline to Week 8 on the Medical Outcomes Study-Sleep Scale (MOSS-SS) subscales.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  3. Change from Baseline to Week 8 on the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) total score.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  4. Change from Baseline to Days 2-8 and Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8 on the DAS-A (total score).

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  5. Response rate on the HAM-A at Week 1 and Week 8.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  6. Change from Baseline in the somatic subscale score of the HAM-A (Items 7-13) at Week 8.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  7. Remission rate based on the HAM-A at Week 1 and Week 8.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  8. Response rate on the patient-rated PGI-C at Week 8.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  9. The "Week 1 Sustained Responder" rate based on the HAM-A (where "Week 1 Sustained Responders" are defined as subjects with a 50% or greater improvement from baseline on the HAM-A total score at Week 1 that is sustained until the Week 8 visit).

    Time frame: 1 week

  10. Change from Baseline in HAM-A total score at Weeks 1, 2, 4, and 6.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  11. Change from Baseline in the 17-item HAM-D total score at Weeks 1, 2, 4, and 8.

    Time frame: 8 weeks

  15. Change from Baseline to Week 8 on the Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale (MOS-SS) total score.

    Time frame: 8 weeks
