Mean Change From Randomization in IDS- Self-Rated Version (SR) Total Score Over Week 10

The IDS-SR is a standardized 30-item, participant rated scale to assess the severity of a participant's depressive symptoms. The items were rated on a 4-point scale of 0-3, where 0 indicated absence of symptom and higher score indicated greater severity of symptom. In order to calculate the total score of IDS-SR, the following procedures were used: either item 11 or 12 were scored; either item 13 or 14 were scored; if both items 11 and 12 (or 13 and 14) were scored, the highest of the items was scored. The total score was obtained by adding the scores of 28 items of the 30 items. Total scores range from 0-84, with a score of 0 indicating no depression and a score of 84 indicating the most severe depression. Randomization value was defined as the assessment value done on Week 0. Change from Randomization in total score was the difference between IDS-SR total score at the individual time points being analyzed (Week, 1, 4 and 10) to Randomization.

Percentage of Participants With Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement (CGI-I) Over Week 10

The CGI-I scale measures the improvement of psychiatric symptoms on a 7-point scale from 1-7. The scale was rated by the clinician at every visit during the treatment phase (Week 1 through Week 10/early withdrawal) of the participant's total improvement or worsening compared with that individual's condition at the start of the study (the Randomization visit , Week 0) whether or not the change is judged to be due to drug treatment. The scores indicated the following: 1= very much improved; 2= much improved; 3= minimally improved; 4= no change; 5= minimally worse; 6= much worse; 7= very much worse. The score ranged from 1-7, where 1 indicated very much improved and higher score indicated greater severity of symptoms. Randomization value was defined as the assessment value done on Week 0.

Percentage of Participants Satisfied With Study Medication at Week 10

Participants were asked complete the participant Satisfaction with Study Medication question at Week 10 (or early withdrawal). Satisfaction was measured using a single 7-point Likert scale from 1 to 7 where higher scores indicate greater satisfaction with study medication. A score of 1 represents very dissatisfied, whilst a score of 7 represents very satisfied. Participants were categorized as a responder if they are rated either as 6 "Satisfied" or 7 "Very Satisfied". The proportion of responders as percentage of participants based on the participant satisfaction with study medication item was defined as: number of participants with a response of 6 or 7 at the visit divided by number of participants with a satisfaction with study medication assessment at that visit (the sum of responders and non-responders) multiplied by 100.
