What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score

    The Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a clinician-rated 10 item scale to assess depressive symptoms. Each item is rated on a 7-point scale from 0-6. The total score ranges from 0 to 60 with a higher score indicating increased severity of depressive symptoms.

    Time frame: Baseline to Day 43

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression Scale, Bipolar Version (CGI-BP-S) Total Score

    The Clinical Global Impression Scale, Bipolar version (CGI-BP-S) total score is a clinician-rated scale that measures the patient's current illness state on a 3 to 21 point scale where a higher score is associated with greater illness severity.. Each domain (depression, mania, and overall illness) is rated from 1 (not ill at all) to 7 (among the most extremely ill) and the 3 scores are added to obtain the total score.

    Time frame: Baseline to Day 43

  2. Change From Baseline in Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire - Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF) Percent Score

    The Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire - Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF) is a 14 item patient self-reported questionnaire that assesses how satisfied a patient is, using a 5-point scale from 1-very poor to 5-very good.

    Time frame: Baseline to Day 43
