Clinical Trial Database The data presented here are from a clinical trial that was conducted to compare

the safety and efficacy of three different compounds (A, B, and C) and a placebo (D) in the treatment of patients who exhibited characteristic signs and symptoms of depression. Certain predrug (baseline) determinations were made on each of the 100 patients to determine their suitability for the study. Each patient who qualified for the study was assigned at random to one of the four treatment groups and was dispensed medication for the duration of the study. Neither the investigator nor the patient knew which medication had been assigned. At the end of the study, scores on numerous anxiety and depression scales were made. Descriptions of the variables measured their codes are as follows. PATIENT: AGE: MAR_STAT: patient number age (years) martial status 1= single 2= married 3= separated or divorced 4= widowed COFF_TEA: coffee/tea consumption (cups/day) TOBACCO: tobacco consumption 0= none 1= <1 pack daily 2= 1 pack daily 3= >1 pack daily ALCOHOL: alcohol consumption 0= none 1= social drinker (<1 drink weekly) 2= social drinker (1 to 2 drinks weekly) 3= 1 to 2 drinks most days 4= 3 or more drinks most days TRT_EMOT: previous treatment for emotional problems 1= psychiatrist 2= non-psychiatrist physician 3= both 4= other HOSPITAL: hospitalization for emotional problems 0= no 1= yes PSY_DIAG: psychiatrist diagnosis 1= major depressive disorder, single episode 2= major depressive disorder, recurrent episodes 3= bipolar affective disorder 4= chronic depressive disorder 5= atypical depressive disorder 6= adjustment disorder with depressed mood ANXIETY: HAM-D anxiety score RETARDTN: HAM-D retardation score SLEEP: HAM-D sleep disturbance score TOTAL: HAM-D total score 0 66 OBRIST: HOPKINS OBRIST cluster total APPETITE: appetite disturbance score CHANGED: how much the patient has changed 1= very much improved 2= much improved 3= minimally improved 4= no change 5= minimally worse 6= much worse 7= very much worse THER_EFF: therapeutic effect 1= marked 2= moderate 3= minimal 4= unchanged

5= worse ADV_EFF: adverse effects 1= none 2= does not significantly interfere with patients functioning 3= significantly interferes with patients functioning 4= nullifies therapeutic effect

TREATMENT: drug treatment group 1=A 2=B 3=C 4=D placebo (control) group
