Number of Participants With Any Serious Adverse Event (SAE) and Any Non Serious Adverse Event

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of medicinal product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes its prolongation, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an important medical event. A complete list of all SAEs and AEs experienced in the study can be found in the SAE/AE section.

Secondary Outcomes

Clinical Global Impressions of Severity (CGI-S) Total Score at Weeks 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, and 52/EW

The CGI-S is a standardized assessment tool that uses a 7-point scale to assess a participant's severity of illness. The total score ranges from 0 to 7: 0=not assessed, 1=normal, 2=borderline ill, 3=mildly ill, 4=moderately ill, 5=markedly ill, 6=severly ill, 7=extremely ill. Higher scores reflect a higher severity of current illness states. The number of participants with an assessment varied depending on the number of assessments completed at each visit (indicated time points).

Time frame: Weeks 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, and 52/EW

The CGI-S is a standardized assessment tool that uses a 7-point scale to assess a participant's severity of illness. The total score ranges from 0 to 7: 0=not assessed, 1=normal, 2=borderline ill, 3=mildly ill, 4=moderately ill, 5=markedly ill, 6=severly ill, 7=extremely ill. Higher scores reflect a higher severity of current illness states. Change from baseline was calculated as the values at Weeks 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48 and 52 (or EW) minus the baseline value (Week 0).

The HAMD-17 is a 17-item questionnaire that detects change and measures illness severity. Individual items were rated on a scale of 0-4 and 0-2, with the total HAMD-17 score ranging from 0 (not ill) to 52 (severely ill). Change from baseline was calculated as the values at Week 6, 16, 28, 40, and 52 (or EW) minus the baseline value (Week 0).

Individual items (1=elevated mood, 2=increased motor activity, 3=sexual interest, 4=sleep, 5=irritability, 6=speech, 7=language thought disorder, 8=content, 9=disruptive aggressive behaviour, 10=appearance, 11=insight) were rated on a scale of 0-4 and 0-8. For all items, 0 is the "best" rating and 4 or 8 is the "worst" rating. YMRS total score was computed as the sum of the scores for the 11 items on the scale. The possible total scores range from 0 (best) to 60 (worst).
