Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43861   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of SPD489 when used as augmentation therapy in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in inadequate responders following an 8-week course of treatment with an antidepressant, as measured by the mean change in Montgomery-Ǻsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total scores.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with International Council of Harmonization (ICH) Good Clinical Practice, the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, as well as other applicable local ethical and legal requirements.
    Background therapy
    The background products provided for this study were the following selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressants: escitalopram oxalate, sertraline hydrochloride, venlafaxine hydrochloride extended release, or duloxetine hydrochloride. Randomized subjects were assigned to receive either SPD489 or placebo orally once daily in addition to their assigned background product.

    SDS is designed to evaluate the extent to which illness symptoms impact a subject's life in 3 areas: work/school, social, and family/home. Each area is scored on a scale from 0 (no impairment) to 10 (highly impaired) with a total score ranging from 0 (unimpaired) to 30 (highly impaired). Lower scores translate into less impairment.

    Mean Change from Baseline in Abbreviated Brief Assessment of Cognition Affective Disorders (ABAC-A) Composite T-Scores
    End point description
    The ABAC-A is a rater-administered series of activities designed to be sensitive to the critical cognitive deficits in affective disorders and schizophrenia. There are 6 subtests of the ABAC-A: List Learning (verbal memory); Digit Sequencing Task (working memory); Token Motor Task (motor speed); Verbal Fluency; Symbol Coding (attention and processing speed); and Tower of London Test (executive functions). The ABAC-A Composite T-score change from Augmentation Baseline Visit (Visit 8; Week 8) at Visit 14/Early Termination (ET) (Week 16/ET) was analyzed. This end point used the Full Analysis Set, which was defined as subjects who took at least 1 dose of randomized investigational product and who had at least 1 valid primary efficacy measurement of the MADRS total score after the Augmentation Baseline Visit (Visit 8).

    Mean Change from Baseline in the Short Form-12 Health Survey V2 (SF-12V2)
    End point description
    The SF-12V2 total score ranges from 0 (lowest level of health) - 100 (highest level of health) on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability (i.e. a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability). Higher scores are associated with better quality of life. This end point used the Full Analysis Set, which was defined as subjects who took at least 1 dose of randomized investigational product and who had at least 1 valid primary efficacy measurement of the MADRS total score after the Augmentation Baseline Visit (Visit 8).

    End point title
    Mean Change in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire - 14 Item Scale (CSFQ-14) Total Score Male
    End point description
    The CSFQ-14 is a short-form interview/questionnaire that measures illness- and medication-related changes in sexual functioning. A 5-point Likert scale is used ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (always). The CSFQ-14 total score can range from 14 to 70, with lower scores being associated with worsened sexual functioning. This end point used the Full Analysis Set, which was defined as male subjects who took at least 1 dose of randomized investigational product and who had at least 1 valid primary efficacy measurement of the MADRS total score after the Augmentation Baseline Visit (Visit 8).

    Mean Change from Baseline in the Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF) Global Fatigue Index (GFI)
    End point description
    MAF contains 16 items scored on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 10 (a great deal). Answers are converted to a GFI with total scores ranging from 1 (no fatigue) to 50 (severe fatigue). Lower scores indicate less fatigue.

    End point title
    Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
    End point description
    C-SSRS is a semi-structured interview that captures the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors during the assessment period. The interview includes definitions and suggested questions to solicit the type of information needed to determine if a suicide-related thought or behavior occurred. The assessment is done by the nature of the responses, not by a numbered scale. This end point used the Safety Analysis Set, which was defined as all subjects who took at least 1 dose of randomized investigational product and who had at least 1 safety assessment (e.g., coming back for any visit, reporting of an adverse event [AE], or reporting the absence of AEs) after the Augmentation Baseline Visit (Visit 8).

    The ACSA scale has 16 symptom items rated on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely) with a possible total score range of 0 to 64. Higher scores indicate greater withdrawal symptom severity. This end point used the Safety Analysis Set, which was defined as all subjects who took at least 1 dose of randomized investigational product and who had at least 1 safety assessment (e.g., coming back for any visit, reporting of an adverse event [AE], or reporting the absence of AEs) after the Augmentation Baseline Visit (Visit 8).
