Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of vortioxetine, once daily (QD), in treating Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

Detailed description

The drug that was tested in this study is called Vortioxetine. Vortioxetine is being tested to treat anxiety in adults who have general anxiety disorder (GAD). This study looked at GAD relief in people who took vortioxetine. The study enrolled 304 patients. Participants were randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the two treatment groups-which remained undisclosed to the patient and study doctor during the study (unless there was an urgent medical need): * Vortioxetine 5 mg * Placebo (dummy inactive pill) - this was a capsule that looked like the study drug but had no active ingredient. All participants were asked to take one capsule at the same time each day throughout the study. This multi-center trial was conducted in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study was up to 13 weeks. Participants made 7 visits to the clinic, and were contacted by telephone 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) Total Score at Week 8Baseline to Week 8The 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. Least Squares (LS) means were from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) Anxiety Subscale at Week 8Baseline to Week 8The Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) Anxiety sub-scale consists of 7 items that are assessed by a scale from 0 (no anxiety) to 3 (severe feeling of anxiety). The anxiety subscale determines a state of generalized anxiety including anxious mood, restlessness, anxious thoughts and panic attacks. Scores are summed and range from 0 to 21 (maximal severity). LS means were from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM).
Clinical Global Impression Scale-Global Improvement at Week 8Baseline to Week 8The Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement scale assesses the participant's improvement (or worsening) as assessed by the clinician relative to Baseline on a 7-point scale: 1, very much improved; 2, much improved; 3, minimally improved; 4, no change; 5, minimally worse; 6, much worse; or 7, very much worse. LS means were from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM).
Change From Baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total Score at Week 8Baseline to Week 8The Sheehan Disability Scale 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. LS means were from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM).
Percentage of Responders in HAM-A Total Score at Week 8Baseline and Week 8Response was defined as participants with a ≥50% decrease from Baseline in the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) total score. 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 (symptoms absent) to 56 (maximum severity).

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) Total Score at Week 8

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. Least Squares (LS) means were from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM).

Time frame: Baseline to Week 8

Population: The Full Analysis Set included all patients who were randomized, received at least 1 dose of study drug, and had at least 1 post-baseline value for assessment of primary efficacy. A mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) based on observed cases was used.
