Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Tolerability of Vortioxetine (Lu AA21004) in Adults With Major Depressive Disorder (NCT NCT00707980)

NCT ID: NCT00707980

Last Updated: 2013-12-13

Results Overview

Physical examination consisted of the following body systems: (1) appearance; (2) extremities; (3) skin; (4) head and neck; (5) eyes, ears, nose, and throat; (6) lungs and chest; (7) heart and cardiovascular system; (8) abdomen; and (9) musculoskeletal system. An assessment of the nervous system was conducted; any findings were captured under the appropriate body area. Each system was assessed as normal or abnormal.

Participant Flow

Participants took part in the study at 88 investigative sites in Australia, Croatia, France, Germany, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, The Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Taiwan, Ukraine, and the United States from 17 June 2008 to 23 August 2010.

Participants who completed short-term efficacy and safety studies Lu AA21004\_304 (NCT00672620) and LuAA21004\_305 (NCT00735709) were eligible to receive the 52-week treatment with vortioxetine in this open-label extension study.

Vortioxetine
Vortioxetine 2.5 mg, 5 mg or 10 mg, encapsulated tablets, orally, once daily for up to 52 weeks. For the first week of treatment all participants received 5 mg/day vortioxetine, thereafter, the dose could be increased to 10 mg/day or decreased to 2.5 mg/day, based on participant's response and tolerability as judged by the investigator.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Weeks 4, 12, 24, 36 and 52

Population: Safety set

A standard 12-lead ECG was performed at the designated study visits. The central reader reviewed and recorded the intervals (PR, QRS, RR, QT, and corrected QT interval \[QTc\]), and interpreted the ECG using 1 of the following categories: within normal limits or abnormal. The number of participants with at least one post-baseline potentially clinically significant ECG finding is reported. bpm = beats per minute; QTcB = QT interval corrected using Bazett's formula; QTcF = QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From the first dose of open-label study drug until 4 weeks after the last dose (up to 56 weeks)

Population: Safety set

The intensity (severity) of each AE was defined as: * Mild: caused minimal discomfort and did not interfere in a significant manner with normal activities. * Moderate: sufficiently uncomfortable to produce some impairment of normal activities. * Severe: incapacitating, preventing the patient from participating in normal activities. The causal relationship between an AE and study drug was assessed by the investigator as Probable, Possible or Not Related; Related=AEs with causality of Possibly or Probably. A serious AE (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, led to a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event that either jeopardized the patient, required intervention to prevent any of the SAEs defined above, a suicide attempt or an abortion.

The HAM-D24 is a clinician-rated 24-item scale for assessing the severity of depression symptoms. The scores for each item range from 0 to 4 or 0 to 2, where 0 represents no symptoms. The rating is based on the past 7 days prior to the time of assessment. The total score ranges from 0 to 74 where a higher score indicates a greater depressive state. Final Visit includes data from Week 52 or earlier for participants who didn't complete the 52 weeks.

The MADRS is a depression rating scale consisting of 10 items, each rated 0 to 6. The 10 items represent the core symptoms of depressive illness. The overall score ranges from 0 (symptoms absent) to 60 (severe depression). Decrease in the total score or on individual items indicates improvement. Final Visit includes data from Week 52 or earlier for participants who didn't complete the 52 weeks.

The HAM-A is an anxiety rating scale consisting of 14 items that assess anxious mood, tension, fear, insomnia, intellectual (cognitive) symptoms, depressed mood, behavior at interview, somatic (sensory), cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, autonomic and somatic (muscular) symptoms. Each symptom is rated from 0 (absent) to 4 (maximum severity). Total scores range from 0 to 56, where \<17 indicates mild severity, 18-24 mild to moderate severity and 25-30 moderate to severe. Total scores above 30 are rare, but indicate very severe anxiety. Final Visit includes data from Week 52 or earlier for participants who didn't complete the 52 weeks.

The Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment, relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis. Considering total clinical experience, a patient is assessed on severity of mental illness on the following scale: 1, normal, not at all ill; 2, borderline mentally ill; 3, mildly ill; 4, moderately ill; 5, markedly ill; 6, severely ill; or 7, extremely ill. Final Visit includes data from Week 52 or earlier for participants who didn't complete the 52 weeks.

The Medical Outcomes Study SF-36 is a participant self-rated questionnaire that is a general measure of perceived health status comprising 36 questions, which yields an 8-scale health profile. The 8 health concepts are: 1. Limitation in physical activities because of health problems. 2. Limitations in usual role activities because of physical health problems. 3. Bodily pain. 4. Limitations in social activities because of physical or emotional problems. 5. General mental health (psychological distress and well-being). 6. Limitations in usual role activities because of emotional problems. 7. Vitality (energy and fatigue). 8. General health perception. Each scale ranges from 0 (best) - 100 (worst).

Population: Participants in the safety analysis set who had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy measurement, and with available Final Visit data.

The Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) assesses functional impairment in 3 domains: work/school, social life or leisure activities, and home life or family responsibilities. The participant rates the extent to which each aspect is impaired on a 10-point visual analog scale, from 0 (not at all) to 10 (extremely). The 3 scores are added together to calculate the total score, which ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating more impairment.
