Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of vortioxetine, once daily (QD), in patients with Major Depressive Disorder.

Detailed description

The drug that was tested in this study is called vortioxetine. Vortioxetine is being tested to treat depression in adults who have major depressive disorder (MDD). This study looked at MDD relief in people who took varying dosages of vortioxetine. The study enrolled 560 patients. Participants were randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the four treatment groups-which remained undisclosed to the patient and study doctor during the study (unless there was an urgent medical need): * Vortioxetine 1 mg * Vortioxetine 5 mg * Vortioxetine 10 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-centre trial was conducted in Europe, Asia, Australia, and South Africa. The overall time to participate in this study was up to 14 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 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale Total Score At Week 8Baseline to Week 8The 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale (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 range is from 0 to 74 where a higher score indicates a greater depressive state. Least squares (LS) means are from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) with Baseline-by-week, center, week, and week-by-treatment as factors in the analysis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
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 are from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) with Baseline-by-week, center, week, and week-by-treatment as factors in the analysis.
Percentage of Responders in HAM-D24 Total Score at Week 8Baseline and Week 8A responder is defined as a participant with a ≥50% decrease from Baseline in HAM-D24 total score. 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.
Change From Baseline in HAM-D24 Total Score at Week 8 in Participants With Baseline HAM-A Score ≥20Baseline to Week 8The HAM-D24 is a clinician-rated 24-item scale for assessing the severity of depression symptoms.

Change From Baseline in the 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale Total Score At Week 8

The 24-item Hamilton Depression Scale (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 range is from 0 to 74 where a higher score indicates a greater depressive state. Least squares (LS) means are from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) with Baseline-by-week, center, week, and week-by-treatment as factors in the analysis.

Time frame: Baseline to Week 8

Population: The full analysis set (FAS) 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.

Change From Baseline in Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity of Illness at Each Week Assessed

The Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the participant'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. LS means are from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) with Baseline-by-week, center, week, and week-by-treatment as factors in the analysis.

Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) Scales at Each Week Assessed

The HAD scale is completed by the participant and comprises two subscales, one measuring depression (focusing on the state of lost interest and diminished pleasure response) and one measuring anxiety (including anxious mood, restlessness, anxious thoughts, panic attacks). Each subscale is made up of 7 items that are assessed on a scale of 0 = no anxiety/depression to 3 = severe feeling of anxiety/depression. Participants are required to indicate the response which most accurately reflects the way they have felt over the last few days. Scores for the depression and anxiety subscales are summed separately and not combined, with each score ranging from 0 to 21 (maximal severity). LS means are from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) with Baseline-by-week, center, week, and week-by-treatment as factors in the analysis

Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1, 4, and 8

Change From Baseline in Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score at Each Week

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). A decrease in the total score or on individual items indicates improvement. LS means are from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) with Baseline-by-week, center, week, and week-by-treatment as factors in the analysis.

Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8

Population: Full analysis set with available data at Baseline. A mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) based on observed cases was used; n indicates the number of patients included in the analysis at each time point.

Change From Baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total Score at Other Weeks Assessed

The 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 are from a mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) with Baseline-by-week, center, week, and week-by-treatment as factors in the analysis.

Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2 and 6

Population: Full analysis set with available SDS Total Score data at Baseline. A mixed model for repeated measurements (MMRM) based on observed cases was used; n indicates the number of patients included in the analysis at each time point.

Percentage of Participants in MADRS Remission at Other Weeks Assessed

Remission is defined as a participant with a Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score ≤10. 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.

Time frame: Weeks 1, 2, 4 and 6

Population: Full analysis set with available data at Week 1; Last observation carried forward was used for other time points.
