Study Summary

A multicenter, 8-week study to evaluate the efficacy of 2 doses (50 and 100 mg/day) of desvenlafaxine succinate sustained-release (DVS SR) versus placebo in adult outpatients with major depressive disorder.

Primary Outcome

Each item is scored on either a 3 point (0 to 2) or a 5 point scale (0 to 4), for a maximum total score of 52; higher scores indicate more depression. Change from baseline: score at observation minus score at baseline.
