Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [1] | ||||||
End point description |
An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. SAEs included death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that jeopardized the participant and required medical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed in this definition. TEAE was defined as an AE that started or increased in intensity on or after the date of first dose of study drug in this study 12712A. A summary of serious and non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in ‘Reported Adverse Events module’. All-patients-treated set (APTS) included all participants who took at least 1 dose of vortioxetine in this study 12712A.

Change From Baseline in Children Depression Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R) Total Score at Week 26 | ||||||||
End point description |
CDRS-R consisted of 17 items out of which 3 items rated nonverbal observations (listless speech, hypoactivity, and depressed affect). Fourteen items were rated on a 7-point scale from 1 to 7, and 3 items (sleep disturbance, appetite disturbance, and listless speech) were scored on a 5-point scale from 1 to 5. A rating of 1 indicated normal functioning and a higher number indicated a greater degree of depression. Total score ranged from 17 (normal) to 113 (severe depression). Least square (LS) mean was calculated using using a restricted maximum likelihood-based mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) approach. Full analysis set (FAS) included all participants who took at least 1 dose of vortioxetine in this study 12712A with valid open-label extension baseline (OLEXA) assessment and at least 1 valid post-OLEXA assessment of the CDRS-R total score. Here, 'overall number of participants analyzed' signifies participants evaluable for this endpoint.

Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness (CGI-S) Score at Week 26 | ||||||||
End point description |
The CGI-S provides the clinician’s impression of the participant’s current state of mental illness. The clinician uses his or her clinical experience of this participant population to rate the severity of the participant’s current mental illness on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal – not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill participants). LS mean was calculated using using a restricted maximum likelihood-based MMRM approach. FAS included all participants who took at least 1 dose of vortioxetine in this study 12712A with valid OLEXA assessment and at least 1 valid post-OLEXA assessment of the CDRS-R total score.

Children (7-11 Years): Change From Baseline in Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function - Preschool (BRIEF-P) Using the Global Executive Composite Score at Week 26 | ||||||||
End point description |
The BRIEF-P is an 86 item measure that assesses impairment in executive function with symptoms rated on a 3-point likert scale of 1 "never", 2 "sometimes" or 3 "often". There are 8 clinical sub-scales (Inhibit, Shift, Emotional Control, Initiate, Working Memory, Plan/Organize, Organization of Materials, Monitor) and two validity scales (Inconsistency and Negativity). A Global Executive Composite score is obtained by summing all 8 clinical sub-scales. The Global Executive Composite ranges from 86-258 with higher scores indicating greater impairment in executive functions. The Global Executive Composite gets converted to a T-score with T-scores of 65 or above considered in the clinical range. FAS included all participants who took at least 1 dose of vortioxetine in this study 12712A with valid OLEXA assessment and at least 1 valid post-OLEXA assessment of the CDRS-R total score. Here, 'overall number of participants analyzed' signifies participants evaluable for this endpoint.

End point description |
The CGAS is a clinician-rated global scale to measure the lowest level of functioning for a child (4 to 16 years) during a specified time period. The CGAS contains behaviourally-oriented descriptors at each anchor point that depict behaviours and life situations applicable to a child. The score ranges from 1 (most functionally impaired child) to 100 (the healthiest). A score greater than 70 indicates normal function. FAS included all participants who took at least 1 dose of vortioxetine in this study 12712A with valid OLEXA assessment and at least 1 valid post-OLEXA assessment of the CDRS-R total score.

Change From Baseline in Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Present Functioning Visual Analogue Scale (PedsQL VAS) Total Score at Week 26 | ||||||||
End point description |
The PedsQL™ VAS is designed to measure at-that-moment functioning in children and adolescents. The PedsQL™ VAS consists of 6 domains: anxiety, sadness, anger, worry, fatigue, and pain using VAS. The functionality for each domain is measured on a 10 cm line with a happy face at one end and a sad face at the other (0-10 points). The participants are asked to mark on the line how they feel. The total score is the average of all 6 items. A lower value represents a better outcome. FAS included all participants who took at least 1 dose of vortioxetine in this study 12712A with valid OLEXA assessment and at least 1 valid post-OLEXA assessment of the CDRS-R total score.

Number of Participants With Response to the Palatability Questionnaire | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
End point description |
The palatability of vortioxetine oral drops was assessed after intake of a single dose (5 to 20 mg) corresponding to the participant’s current vortioxetine dose (replacing the vortioxetine tablet on that day). The palatability assessment included 4 questions on the overall appreciation of a medicinal product in relation to its taste (What do you think of the taste), mouthfeel (How does medicine feel in your mouth), aftertaste (What do you think of the after taste), and smell (What do you think of the smell). The items were rated on a 5-point hedonic scale; really bad, bad, neither good or bad, good, or very good. The oral drops were considered acceptable if the mean hedonic scores were ≤3 for each aspect of palatability (taste, aftertaste, smell, and mouthfeel). APTS included all participants who took at least 1 dose of vortioxetine in this study 12712A. Here, 'overall number of participants analyzed' signifies participants evaluable for this endpoint.

The acceptability of vortioxetine oral drops was assessed after intake of a single dose (5 to 20 mg) corresponding to the participant’s current vortioxetine dose (replacing the vortioxetine tablet on that day). The acceptability assessment was based on 3 items; acceptability of the taste, whether the drops were perceived as easy to take, willingness to take the drops every day (provided it was the only available formulation). For each item the response options were no, not sure, and yes. The oral drops were considered acceptable if <60% of participants responded "no" to each of the 3 questions regarding acceptability. APTS included all participants who took at least 1 dose of vortioxetine in this study 12712A. Here, 'overall number of participants analyzed' signifies participants evaluable for this endpoint.
