Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate pharmacokinetics of 3 doses of agomelatine in patients from 7 to less than 18 years suffering from Major Depressive or Anxiety Disorder.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are:<br>-to provide safety data of 3 doses of agomelatine,<br>-to evaluate vigilance/sedation of 3 doses of agomelatine,<br>-to evaluate the tablet acceptability of 3 doses of agomelatine.<br>;Primary end point(s): Pharmacokinetics: Cmax, AUC, t1/2, Ctrough, and tmax.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: All over the study
Secondary Outcome Measures
