Safety and Efficacy Study in Patients With Major Depressive Disorder - Full Text View

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to test if GSK163090 can reduce the symptoms of depression. The safety and how well the body can handle the drug will also be investigated. The study will be conducted in Russia in hospitalised patients with severe depression. GSK163090 will be compared with placebo, which looks like the study drug but does not contain any active substance. Subjects will be given either the study drug or the matching placebo.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Active Parallel Group - High Dose Arm, Low Dose Arm	Drug: GSK163090 Tablets Developed for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder
Placebo Comparator: Placebo Parallel Group	Drug: GSK163090 Placebo Tablets Developed for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder

Detailed Description:

This is a randomised, multi-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeat dose, parallel group study in male and female patients with severe depression requiring hospitalization. Efficacy, safety and tolerability will be assessed in three treatment arms. The study will consist of a screening period, a treatment phase (up to 6 weeks) and a post-treatment follow-up visit. The study duration from screening to follow up will be approximately 9 weeks. Subjects who pass screening will be randomized on Day 1 to one of three treatment arms (low dose arm, high dose arm or placebo). Each treatment arm will contain approximately 50 subjects. The subject's depressive symptoms will be assessed using the HAMD17- CR.
