Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

To compare the efficacy of duloxetine 60 mg QD & placebo on cognition during acute treatment phase in elderly patients using a composite cognitive score derived from the Verbal Learning & Recall Test (VLRT)
To compare the efficacy of duloxetine 60 mg QD & placebo on cognition during acute treatment phase in elderly patients using a composite cognitive score derived from the Symbol Digit Substitution Test (SDST)
To compare the efficacy of duloxetine 60 mg QD & placebo on cognition during acute treatment phase in elderly patients using a composite cognitive score derived from 2-Digit Cancellation Test (2DCT)
To compare the efficacy of duloxetine 60 mg QD & placebo on cognition during acute treatment phase in elderly patients using a composite cognitive score derived from the Letter-Number Sequencing Test (LNST)

Secondary Outcome Measures

To compare the efficacy of treatment with duloxetine 60 mg QD and placebo on depression as measured by the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)
To compare the efficacy of treatment with duloxetine 60 mg QD and placebo on depression as measured by the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD17) total score
To compare the efficacy of treatment with duloxetine 60 mg QD and placebo on depression as measured by response and remission rates
To compare the efficacy of treatment with duloxetine 60 mg QD and placebo on depression as measured by the Clinical Global Impressions of Severity Scale (CGI Severity) and the HAMD17 subscale scores
To compare the efficacy of treatment with duloxetine 60 mg QD and placebo on the painful physical symptoms of depression, as measured by the Visual Analog Scale for pain (VAS)
To compare the safety of duloxetine 60 mg QD and placebo using information on vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), treatment-emergent adverse events, discontinuation-emergent adverse events, discontinuation rates and laboratory analyses
To assess the impact of treatment with duloxetine 60 mg QD and placebo on quality of life as measured by the Short-Form (SF-36) Health Survey
