MADRS responder rate was defined as >=50% reduction in total score from Baseline (Day 1) to all time points. The MADRS consists of 10 questions, each rated on a 7-point scale, to stratify severity of depressive episodes. The MADRS total score is the sum of ratings for all 10 items. Total MADRS score range is 0 to 60. A higher score indicates more severe depression.

MADRS remission rate was defined where total score was <=10 at all time points. The MADRS consists of 10 questions, each rated on a 7-point scale, to stratify severity of depressive episodes. The MADRS total score is the sum of ratings for all 10 items. Total MADRS score range is 0 to 60. A higher score indicates more severe depression.

The HAM-A was utilized as an assessment to rate participants level of anxiety. HAM-A is a 14-item questionnaire with each question rated on a 5-point scale with a total score of 0 to 56. The higher scores indicating more severe anxiety symptoms.

The CGI-I was utilized as an assessment for clinician to rate the improvement of the patient's illness at the time of the assessment compared to patient's condition at admission of the trial. To perform this assessment, the study physician answered the following question: "Compared to his/her condition at admission to the project, how much has he/she changed?" This question is rated on a scale from 0 to 7, where a higher score indicates greater lack of improvement. Response choices included: 0 = not assessed, 1 = very much improved, 2 = much improved, 3 = minimally improved, 4 = no change, 5 = minimally worse, 6 = much worse, and 7 = very much worse. The response at a given visit was compared with the participants condition at Baseline prior to the first dose of study medication. A CGI-I improver was defined as a subject with a CGI-I score of "Very much approved" or "Much Approved".
