简要总结
The purpose of this study is to explore patterns of Brain Network Activation (BNA) changes from baseline to endpoint on 1) efficacy of core symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and 2) improvement of cognitive dysfunction with acute treatment with flexible dose vortioxetine in adult outpatients with MDD and subjective complaints of cognitive dysfunction.
详细描述
Vortioxetine is a novel antidepressant with hypothetical multimodal mechanism of action. It is thought to work through a combination of multiple pharmacological modes of action: 5-HT (hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin) reuptake inhibition, 5-HT3 (hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin) and 5-HT7 (hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin) receptor antagonism, 5-HT1A (hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin) receptor agonism, and 5-HT1B (hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin) receptor partial agonism. In vivo nonclinical studies have demonstrated that vortioxetine enhances levels of the neurotransmitters 5-HT (hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin), norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), acetylcholine and histamine in specific areas of the brain. These affinities are all considered to be of clinical relevance and involved in the mechanism of action at therapeutic doses.
Vortioxetine has been shown to improve core depressive symptoms and improve cognitive function in adult outpatients with MDD and subjective complaints of cognitive function. This pilot study is intended to evaluate the extent to which BNA technology can provide clinically valuable information and provide information toward designing a subsequent confirmatory study that will further elucidate the effect of vortioxetine on MDD and cognitive function in this population. This exploratory study will ascertain the acute changes in core depression symptoms, cognitive function, tolerability, and safety using flexible-dose vortioxetine in adult outpatients with MDD with subjective complaints of cognitive functioning, as measured by BNA changes and standard outcome measures for depression and cognition.
The study consists of 8 weeks of open-label treatment for MDD with response to treatment measured by standard research depression scales and BNA electroencephalogram (EEG) readings taken at certain points during the trial. An important aim in this study is to explore what correlations may exist between changes in measured brainwave patterns and reported change in depressive symptoms

The current major depressive episode (MDE) will be confirmed using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI V6.0.0).
- •The subject has a MADRS total score ≥
- •Subject reports subjective cognitive dysfunction (such as difficulty concentrating, slow thinking, and difficulty in learning new things or remembering things).
- •The reported duration of the current MDE is at least 3 months and no longer than 24 months.
- •The subject is a man or woman between 18 and 65 years old, inclusive.

Excluded medications include: antidepressants, anxiolytics, anticonvulsants, barbiturates, chloral hydrate, lithium, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines, hypnotics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), muscle relaxers, triptans, centrally-acting antihistamines, central alpha-2 agonists, decongestants, psychostimulants, dopamine agonists, opioid pain medications, oral corticosteroids, L-methylfolate, S-adenosyl methionine (SAMe), 5-HTP (hydroxytryptophan), St. John's Wort,
- •The subject has 1 or more of the following:
- •Primary psychiatric disorder other than MDD as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4 Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) (as assessed by the MINI, Version 6.0.0).
- •Current or history of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), pervasive developmental disorder, manic or hypomanic episode, schizophrenia, or any other psychotic disorder, including major depression with psychotic features, mental retardation, organic mental disorders, or mental disorders due to a general medical condition as defined in the DSM-IV-TR.
- •Current diagnosis of alcohol or other substance abuse or dependence (excluding nicotine or caffeine) as defined in the DSM-IV-TR that has not been in sustained full remission for at least 6 months (for abuse) and 12 months (for dependence) prior to Screening.

- •The subject has any other disorder for which the treatment takes priority over treatment of MDD or is likely to interfere with study treatment or impair treatment compliance.
- •The subject has physical, cognitive, or language impairment of such severity as to adversely affect the validity of the data derived from the neuropsychological tests.
- •The subject has a significant risk of suicide according to the PI's clinical judgment.
- •The subject, in the opinion of the PI, poses a risk of harm to others.
- •The subject has initiated formal cognitive or behavioral therapy, systemic psychotherapy within less than 6 months of study screening, or has plans to initiate such therapy during the study.
- •The subject has received electroconvulsive therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, or repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation within 12 months prior to Screening.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Montgomery and Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)
时间窗: from baseline to endpoint (up to 8 weeks)
The MADRS is a 10-item rating scale designed to assess the severity of symptoms of depression. Range is 0-60. Higher score means more severe.
Change From Baseline to Endpoint in Digital Symbol Substitution Test.
时间窗: Baseline to endpoint (week 8)
Change in cognitive function defined as change from baseline to endpoint. The Digital Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) is a cognitive test designed to assess psychomotor speed of performance requiring visual perception, spatial decision-making and motor skills. The DSST consists of 133 digits and requires the subject to substitute each digit with a simple symbol in a 90-second period. The number of correct symbols within the allowed time (eg, 90 sec) is measured. It takes approximately 5 minutes to complete and score the DSST.
BNA Scores Amplitudes
时间窗: Baseline to Endpoint (8 weeks)
Brain Network Analytics (BNA) is a tool intended for the post-hoc statistical analysis of the human EEG, utilizing both resting-state EEG and event-related potentials (ERP) waveforms. The BNA algorithm compares a patient's ERP amplitudes and latencies to those of a large group of healthy, age-matched subjects in order to visualize and quantify changes in specific brain functions. The BNA algorithm was used to detect subjects' P200 and P300 ERP components from EEG data recorded during the AOB and VGNG tasks. BNA scores represent these ERP components in terms of amplitude (in microvolts) and latency (in milliseconds).
