ms in the BPRS that specifically measure psychosis. Patients were evenly distributed among three active dose groups (300 mg, 600 mg and 1200 mg) or a placebo group, with patients receiving once daily dosing for a period of seven days. All patients in the study were off any antidepressant and antipsychotic medication for at least one week before the seven day treatment period and received concomitant antidepressant therapy starting on Day 1 through Day 56. As was the case with the company’s two previously completed Phase 3 studies evaluating CORLUX for PMD, treatment with antipsychotic medications or electroconvulsive therapy was not allowed at any time during this study. In Corcept’s previous Phase 3 studies, as in Study 06, the response rate in patients who received CORLUX exceeded the response rate in patients who received placebo but not with statistical significance.
