Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study Of DVS SR In Treatment Of Children And Adolescent Outpatients With MDD (NCT NCT01372150)

NCT ID: NCT01372150

Last Updated: 2019-01-15

Results Overview

Clinician-rated interview-based scale (with both child and parent or guardian) to assess 17 distinct symptom areas to derive an index of depression severity. Discrepancies between informants' responses were resolved by using most impaired rating given by valid informant. Rated on a 7-point scale; range from 1 (no impairment) to 7 (indicates greater impairment). Total score calculated as sum of the 17 items (range 1 to 119); higher score indicates greater impairment. Adjusted mean presented.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 8

Population: Intention-To-Treat (ITT) Population - included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug, had a baseline primary efficacy assessment, and had at least one post-baseline primary efficacy assessment.

Clinician-rated interview-based scale (with both child and parent or guardian) to assess 17 distinct symptom areas to derive an index of depression severity. Discrepancies between informants' responses were resolved by using most impaired rating given by valid informant. Rated on a 7-point scale; range from 1 (no impairment) to 7 (indicates greater impairment). Total score calculated as sum of the 17 items (range 1 to 119); higher score indicates greater impairment.
