Further study details as provided by Eli Lilly and Company:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Concentrations of DHPG and NE in plasma (in sitting and standing positions), urine, and CSF after multiple daily doses (steady state).

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Effect of duloxetine versus escitalopram on ex vivo reuptake inhibition of NE and F-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in serum and relationship to exposure.
  • Effect of duloxetine versus escitalopram on heart rate variability.
  • Ratio of duloxetine exposure in plasma to CSF at steady state.
  • Relationship between DHPG and NE concentrations and duloxetine exposure in CSF and plasma.
