The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety of saredutant (or SR48968C) in adult and elderly patients with depression.The primary objective is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of a 100 mg dose of saredutant in adult and elderly patients with depression. The secondary objective is to evaluate blood levels of saredutant.
Read the detailed description
The study is a multicenter, US, open-label study consisting of two segments (A and B). Segment A is a minimum 1-week (maximum 4-week) screening period and Segment B is a 52-week, open-label period.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Saredutant succinate (SR48968C) in people with Depressive Disorder, run by Sanofi at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The primary outcome is the proportion of patients experiencing at least one treatment-emergent adverse event.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Feb 2012.
