Abbreviations: GAD, generalized anxiety disorder; HAM-D17, 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale; NR, not reported; PGx, pharmacogenomic-guided treatment; PP, per protocol; PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder; SD, standard deviation; TAU, treatment as usual.

a

Results reported for full cohort (intention to treat) unless not reported, as specified. No substantial differences in demographics or disease between per protocol and full cohorts.

b

Data for depression cohort (N = 450) not reported separately. Estimates reflect combined anxiety or depression cohort (N = 685) and are not specific to those with depression alone. Depression cohort data alone were included in results.

c

Percentage of patients among patients in depression cohort (N = 450).

d

Estimated from graph using WebPlotDigitizer.

e

Statistically significant difference between PGx and TAU.
