Resum
This 2-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled fixed-dose study (NCT02919501) explored the potential of accelerating onset of antidepressant efficacy and plasma exposure with single-dose intravenous vortioxetine at oral vortioxetine treatment initiation. Outpatients (ages 18-65 years) with major depressive disorder and a current depressive episode (Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale total score ≥30) were randomized to an initial single dose of either intravenous vortioxetine 17 mg (n = 27) or intravenous placebo (n = 28), both treatments followed by 2 weeks of oral vortioxetine (10 mg/day). From baseline to day 7, both groups exhibited fast and substantial improvements by approximately 14 Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale points, with no statistically significant treatment difference for this primary endpoint. Improvements were substantial already within 24 hours, with numerical treatment differences of 1.3 and 1.6 points at days 1 and 3, respectively, in favour of intravenous vortioxetine + oral vortioxetine. Pharmacokinetic data confirmed that intravenous vortioxetine facilitated reaching steady-state plasma concentration within 24 hours. Intravenous vortioxetine + oral vortioxetine was safe and well-tolerated, with nausea as the most common adverse event. This study supported intravenous vortioxetine as a means of rapidly reaching therapeutic vortioxetine blood levels.
