| Current Primary Outcome Measures | •Percentage of Participants with Response (>=50 Percent improvement in MADRS total score from baseline) at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Week 26 ] -- Responders are defined as percentage of participants with greater than or equal to (>=) 50 percent (%) improvement in the montgomery-asberg depression rating scale (MADRS) total score from baseline. MADRS is a clinician-administered scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The MADRS evaluates the following 10 items: apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total possible score of 60. Higher scores represent a more severe condition. |
| Current Secondary Outcome Measures | •Change from baseline in Weight up to Week 26 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ] -- Change from baseline in weight will be reported. |
| •Time to Study Drug Discontinuation for Potentially Treatment Related Reasons [ Time Frame: Up to Week 26 ] -- Time to discontinuation of study drug for potentially treatment related reasons will be reported. Potentially treatment related reasons are defined as all study drug discontinuations excluding the potentially non-treatment related discontinuations (eg, loss of insurance for antidepressant therapy, movement/travel out of the area, change of work-schedule being unable to accommodate visit schedule, family circumstances). | |
| •Change from Baseline in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ] -- MADRS is a clinician-administered scale designed to measure depression severity and detects changes due to antidepressant treatment. The MADRS evaluates the following 10 items: apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. Each item is scored from 0 (item not present or normal) to 6 (severe or continuous presence of the symptoms), for a total possible score of 60. Higher scores represent a more severe condition. | |
| •Change from Baseline in MADRS-6 Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ] -- The MADRS-6 scale is a clinician-administered questionnaire used to measure the severity of MDD symptoms. The MADRS-6 scale is a subset of the MADRS-10 scale, comprised of the following individual questionnaire items: Apparent Sadness, Reported Sadness, Inner Tension, Lassitude, Inability to Feel, and Pessimistic Thoughts. Scores range from 0 (no apparent symptoms) to 36 (most severe symptoms). | |
| •Change from Baseline in the MADRS Without Sleep Item (MADRS-WOSI) Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ] -- The MADRS is a 10-item clinician-rated instrument for evaluating severity of symptoms of depression. Each item is rated on a scale from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. MADRS-WOSI considered 9 of the 10 MADRS items, excluding “reduced sleep” item. The total score ranged from 0 to 54, with higher scores corresponding to greater symptom severity. | |
| •Change from Baseline in Patient Health Questionnaire, 9-Item (PHQ-9) Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 26 ] -- The PHQ-9 is a 9-item, participant reported outcome measure to assess depressive symptoms. The scale scores each of the 9 symptom domains of the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders-5th edition (DSM-5) major depressive disorder (MDD) criteria. Each item is rated on a 4 point scale (0=not at all, 1=several days, 2=more than half the days, and 3=nearly every day). The participant’s item responses are summed to provide a total score (range of 0 to 27), with higher scores indicating greater severity of depressive symptoms. | |
| •Percentage of Participants with Remission (MADRS Total Score less than or equal to (<=) 12) at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Week 26 ] -- Percentage of participants with remission (MADRS total Score <=12) will be reported. | |
| •Percentage of Participants with a >=50 Percent Improvement in MADRS Total Score and MADRS <=18 at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Week 26 ] -- Percentage of participants with a >=50 percent improvement in MADRS total score and MADRS <=18 at Week 26. | |
| •Percentage of Participants with Weight Increase >=7 Percent from Baseline at Week 26 [ Time Frame: Week 26 ] -- Percentage of participants with weight increase >=7 percent from baseline will be reported. | |
