What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Measured: From baseline to week 12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) total score

    The PHQ-9 is a patient-rated scale designed to screen for and assess depression. The PHQ-9 consists of questions on each of the 9 DSM-5® criteria for depression asking if they have bothered the patient over the last 2 weeks. Each question is rated on a scale from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). The 9 questions are summed to a total score ranging from 0 to 27 with higher scores reflecting greater severity.

    Measured: From baseline to week 12

  2. Change in Clinical Global Impression-severity of illness (CGI-S) score

    The CGI was developed to provide global measures of the severity of a patient's clinical condition and improvement or worsening during clinical studies. The CGI consists of two clinician-rated subscales: severity of illness (CGI-S) and global improvement (CGI-I). The CGI-S provides the clinician's impression of the patient's current state of mental illness. The clinician uses his or her clinical experience of this patient population to rate the severity of the patient's current mental illness on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (normal - not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients).

    Measured: From baseline to week 12

  3. Clinical Global Impression-improvement (CGI-I)

    The CGI was developed to provide global measures of the severity of a patient's clinical condition and improvement or worsening during clinical studies. The CGI consists of two clinician-rated subscales: severity of illness (CGI-S) and global improvement (CGI-I). The CGI-I provides the clinician's impression of the patient's improvement (or worsening). The clinician assesses the patient's condition relative to a baseline on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

    Measured: At week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Vortioxetine in people with Major Depressive Disorder, run by H. Lundbeck A/S at 24 sites in India.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 18 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in India. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Number of participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (time frame: From baseline to week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04288895, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Mar 2022.
