Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline to 4 Week Endpoint in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score
Measures the overall severity of depressive symptoms. The MADRS has a 10-item checklist. Items are rated on a scale of 0-6, for a total score range of 0 (low severity of depressive symptoms) to 60 (high severity of depressive symptoms).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in 6-Item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-6) Total Scores From Baseline
The HAMD-6 (Items 1,2,7,8,10,13 from the 17-item HAMD) evaluates "core" symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Total scores range from 0 (normal) to 22 (severe).
Change in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score From Baseline
Measures the overall severity of depressive symptoms. The MADRS has a 10-item checklist. Items are rated on a scale of 0-6, for a total score range of 0 (low severity of depressive symptoms) to 60 (high severity of depressive symptoms).
Evaluation of Rescue Options Based on Changes in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and the 6-Item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-6)
Changes in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and 6-Item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-6) total scores were evaluated following dose up-titration in those patients who did not achieve the minimum 50% response for primary endpoint. MADRS is a rating scale for severity of depressive mood symptoms. Total scores range from 0 (low severity of symptoms) to 60 (high severity of symptoms). The HAMD-6, derived by the sum of HAMD-17 items 1, 2, 7, 8, 10 and 13, evaluates "core" symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Total subscale scores range from 0 (normal) to 22 (severe).
Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) Scores at Each Visit
Measures severity of illness at the time of assessment compared with start of treatment. Scores range from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).
Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) at Each Visit
Measures clinician's perception of patient improvement at the time of assessment compared with the start of treatment. Scores range from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse).
Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) Score at Each Visit
A scale that measures the patient's perception of improvement at the time of assessment compared with the start of treatment. The score ranges from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse).
Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) Score at Baseline and Weeks 4 and 8
The HAMA scale measures anxiety symptoms accompanying Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Each item of the 14-item HAMA was scored from 0 (not present) to 4 (very severe), with a resulting maximum total score of 56.
Percentage of Responders
Patients with reduction in MADRS score ≥50% after 4 weeks were to stay on previous dose of duloxetine. Those with reduction in MADRS <50% were to receive 120 mg for remaining 4 weeks of treatment (up-titration from 60 mg to 120 mg for those randomized to 60 mg, and addition of placebo to 120 mg dose for those randomized to 120 mg). However, 2/70 patients randomized to 60 mg and then up-titrated to 120 mg after 4 weeks had reduction in MADRS ≥50% after 4 weeks, and 3/64 patients randomized to 120 mg and then given placebo in addition after 4 weeks had reduction in MADRS ≥50% after 4 weeks.
Patients Reaching Remission
Major Depressive Disorder remission was defined as a total MADRS score ≤12 at Week 8.
Reason for Living (RFL) Questionnaire Mean Scores at Baseline and Week 8
The RFL questionnaire is an instrument that evaluates patient's reasons for not committing suicide using a 6-point rating scale, where 1 is "not at all important" and 6 is "extremely important". The questionnaire required participants to rate how important each item would be for living, if suicide was contemplated. Mean scores could range from 0 to 6.
Utilization of Allowed Hypnotic and/or Anxiolytic Co-Medication
Number of participants using medication for anxiety and sleep disturbances.
Number of Patients With Potentially Clinically Significant Laboratory Findings
Laboratory results that were potentially clinically significant.
Discontinuations Due to Adverse Events (AE)
Listing of adverse events (AE) that led to treatment discontinuation (DC).
Number of Participants Experiencing High Values for Vital Signs at Any Time During the Study
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate were measured after 2 minutes rest in a supine position. High values were: diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg and increase from baseline of ≥10 mm Hg; systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg and increase from baseline of ≥10 mm Hg; pulse rate ≥100 beats per minute (bpm) and an increase of ≥10 bpm from baseline.
Change From Baseline to Week 4 and Week 8 in Weight
Change in weight = Post-baseline visit minus baseline.
