General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective was 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-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total scores.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
This study was conducted in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice, the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, as well as other applicable local ethical and legal requirements. The subject’s informed consent was a mandatory condition for taking part in the study. It was obtained in writing at the Screening Visit (Visit 1) prior to the performance of any study-specific procedures. The subject’s informed consent was documented (on an appropriate form approved by the EC) by the dated signature of the subject and the dated signature of the investigator or investigator's delegate.
|
||
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 HCl, venlafaxine HCl extended-release, and duloxetine HCl. Randomized subjects were assigned to receive either SPD489 or placebo orally once daily in addition to their assigned background product. If not already on 1 of the 4 permitted background products at the Screening Visit (Visit 1), a subject was assigned 1 of the 4 background products, as available and provided by the sponsor, at the Lead-in Baseline Visit (Visit 2). Assignment of background product was based on investigator assessment of clinical factors, including prior antidepressant use, response, and tolerability. Investigators were to distribute background product choices equally at their site and were to have made an effort not to assign any 1 background product to more than 40% of their subjects. | ||

Higher scores are associated with better quality of life.
