What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions

    An adverse drug reaction (ADR) was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Effexor in a participant who received Effexor. A serious ADR was a ADR resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Relatedness to Effexor was assessed by the physician.

    Measured: 12 weeks from the start date (up until 52 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change From Baseline in the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17) Total Scores at Pre-specified Evaluation Points

    HAM-D17 is a standardized, clinician-administered rating scale that assesses 17 items characteristically associated with depression (symptoms such as depressed mood, work and activities, sleep, suicide, psychomotor agitation/retardation, appetite, sexual interest, anxiety, and somatic symptoms). The items of the HAM-D17 are rated on a scale of 0 to 2 (8 items) or from 0 to 4 (9 items), and the total score ranges from 0 to 52, higher scores indicating more severity. Change from baseline: mean score at observation minus mean score at baseline. Evaluation was performed at Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 52.

    Measured: 12 weeks from the start date ( up until 52 weeks)

  2. Change From Baseline in the Montgomery - Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Scores at Pre-specified Evaluation Points

    MADRS is a clinician-administered rating scale that assesses the overall severity of depressive symptoms. The MADRS had a 10-item checklist (apparent sadness, reported sadness, inner tension, reduced sleep, reduced appetite, concentration difficulties, lassitude, inability to feel, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts). Items are scored from 0 to 6, and the total score ranges from 0 to 60, higher scores indicating more severity. Change from baseline: mean score at observation minus mean score at baseline. Evaluation was performed at Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 52.

    Measured: 12 weeks from the start date ( up until 52 weeks)

  3. Clinical Global Impressions-Severity

    CGI-S is a 7-point clinician-administered rating scale that assesses overall severity of the current illness state. The score ranges from 1 to 7, higher scores indicating more affected: "1: normal, not at all ill," "2: borderline mentally ill," "3: mildly ill," "4: moderately ill," "5: markedly ill," "6: severely ill," or "7: among the most extremely ill patients." Evaluation was performed at Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 52.

    Measured: 12 weeks from the start date (up until 52 weeks)

  4. Changes in the Clinical Global Impressions-Improvement

    CGI-I is a 7-point clinician-administered rating scale that assesses overall improvement of the disease/condition. The score ranges from 1 to 7, higher scores indicating more affected: was assessed as "1: markedly improved," "2: moderately improved," "3: mildly improved," "4: no change," "5: slightly worsened," "6: worsened," or "7: severely worsened." Evaluation was performed at Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 52.

    Measured: 12 weeks from the start date (up until 52 weeks)
