Trial Outcomes & Findings for Double-Blind Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder With Vilazodone (NCT NCT01742832)

NCT ID: NCT01742832

Last Updated: 2023-02-23

Results Overview

The entire study will last 18 weeks. For the first 6 weeks, subjects will come in once every 2 weeks. For the next 4 weeks, subjects will come in once per week. For the next 6 weeks, subjects will come in once every 2 weeks. The final visit will come 2 weeks later for a total of 11 visits where the MADRS will be administered. Only the baseline and final (last observation) assessments for the outcome measure was used in determining results, thus these are the only values included. MADRS scores range from 0-60, with higher scores indicating a greater level of severity. No subscales were used.

Participant Flow

The Enrollment number in the Protocol Section (79) conflicts with the number of participants Started in the Participant Flow module (48) because the assessment of interested was the double-blind portion of the study. Only 48 subjects were enrolled in this phase of the study, while 79 were enrolled in the preliminary open-label phase.

The results reported are for the double-blind phase, not the open label citalopram phase of the study.

Measure
Vilazodone
A fixed dose titration (with doses ranging from 10mg to 40mg/day) will be used. Subjects will take 10mg/day for 1 week, 20mg/day for 1 week and then 40mg/day. Vilazodone: A fixed dose titration (with doses ranging from 10mg to 40mg/day) will be used. Subjects will take 10mg/day for 1 week, 20mg/day for 1 week and then 40mg/day.
Citalopram
For those assigned to citalopram, the dose of citalopram will be maximized to 40mg/day. For those assigned to vilazodone, their citalopram dose will be maintained at 20mg/day for 1 week, then reduced to 10mg/day for 1 week, then switched to vilazodone 10mg/day. Citalopram: For those assigned to citalopram, the dose of citalopram will be maximized to 40mg/day. For those assigned to vilazodone, their citalopram dose will be maintained at 20mg/day for 1 week, then reduced to 10mg/day for 1 week, then switched to vilazodone 10mg/day.
