Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change From Baseline in the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17) Total Score at Day 15 - Part A
The HAM-D total score comprised a sum of 17 individual item scores.The total score could range from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicated a greater degree of depression. The analysis was performed in participants included in Part B of the study.
Change From Baseline in the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17) Total Score at Day 22 - Part B
The HAM-D total score comprised a sum of 17 individual item scores.The total score could range from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicated a greater degree of depression. The analysis was performed in participants included in Part B of the study.
Secondary outcomes
Part A:Pharmacokinetic parameters of KH607 tablets (Cmax)
Maximum observed plasma concentration following administration
Change From Baseline in the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17) Total Score at Day 15 - Part A
The HAM-D total score comprised a sum of 17 individual item scores.The total score could range from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicated a greater degree of depression. The analysis was performed in participants included in Part B of the study.
Change From Baseline in the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17) Total Score at all other time points - Part A
The HAM-D total score comprised a sum of 17 individual item scores.The total score could range from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicated a greater degree of depression. The analysis was performed in participants included in Part B of the study.
Change From Baseline in the Montgomery and Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Day 15 and All Other Time Points - Part A
The MADRS was a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists used to measure the severity of depressive episodes in participants with mood disorders. It was designed as an adjunct to the HAM-D, to be more sensitive than the Hamilton Scale to the changes brought on by antidepressants and other forms of treatment. Each item yielded a score of 0 to 6. The MADRS total score was calculated as the sum of the 10 individual item scores, which ranged from 0 to 60. Higher MADRS scores indicated more severe depression. A negative change from baseline indicated less severe depression. A positive change from baseline indicated more severe depression. The analysis was performed in participants included in Part A of the study.
