Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean Change From Baseline in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Endpoint (Week 6) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    MADRS total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 60. Lower values represent a better score, higher values represent a worse score. Similarly, greater negative change from baseline represents improvement, and positive changes from baseline represent worsening.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean Change From Baseline to Endpoint (Week 6) in: Clinical Global Impression Bipolar Version, Severity of Illness (CGI-BP-S) Score (Depression) [ Time Frame: Baseline Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    CGI-EP-S depression score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 7. Lower values represent a better score, higher values represent a worse score. Similarly, greater negative change from baseline represents improvement, and positive changes from baseline represent worsening.

  • Mean Change From Baseline to Endpoint (Week 6) in: Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total Score [ Time Frame: Baselin Week 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    STS total score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 30. Lower values represent a better score, higher values represent a worse score. Similarly, greater negative change from baseline represents improvement, and positive changes from baseline represent worsening.
