Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Vortioxetine (Lu AA21004) on the Concentrations of Selected Neurotransmitters in Healthy Male Adults (NCT NCT01299805)
NCT ID: NCT01299805
Last Updated: 2013-12-13
Results Overview
The area under the effect-time curve from time 0 to 24 hours postdose (AUEC\[0-24\]) of the neurotransmitter 5-HT (serotonin) in plasma was measured at Baseline, after a single dose (Day 1) and after multiple doses (Day 14).
COMPLETED
PHASE1
17 participants
Day -1 (Baseline), Day 1 and Day 14. Blood samples were taken predose (up to 15 minutes prior) and at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours post-dose.

Participant Flow
Participants took part in the study at one investigative site in the United States from 14 March 2011 to 11 June 2011.
In this study, 17 healthy men were enrolled and randomized to receive an oral dose of vortioxetine 20 mg or placebo in a 2:1 ratio.

Timeframe: Day -1 (Baseline), Day 1 and Day 14. Blood samples were taken predose (up to 15 minutes prior) and at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 24 hours post-dose.Population: The pharmacodynamic (PD) set consisted of all participants in the safety set with sufficient plasma or serum or CSF data for derivation of at least 1 PD parameter. If a patient's concentration profile contained ≤3 data points, the PD parameter results were not included. "n" indicates the number of patients with available data at each time point.
The area under the effect-time curve from time 0 to 24 hours postdose (AUEC\[0-24\]) of the neurotransmitter 5-HT (serotonin) in plasma was measured at Baseline, after a single dose (Day 1) and after multiple doses (Day 14).

CSF samples were taken prior to dose and at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours postdose.Population: The pharmacodynamic (PD) set consisted of all participants in the safety set with sufficient plasma or serum or CSF data for derivation of at least 1 PD parameter. If a patient's concentration profile contained ≤3 data points, the PD parameter results were not included. "n" indicates the number of patients with available data at each time point.
The time to reach maximum pharmacodynamic effect (Emax) was assessed by the time to maximum concentration of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) at Baseline, after a single dose (Day 1) and after multiple doses (Day 14).
