Name Time Method Main Objective: to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of flexible-doses of Lu AA21004 (5mg or 10mg daily) over a period of 52 weeks in patients with Major Depressive Disorder, who completed short-term study 11492A;Secondary Objective: - to evaluate the therapeutic effect of flexible-doses of Lu AA21004 (5mg or 10mg daily) over a period of 52 weeks in patients with Major Depressive Disorder, who completed short term study 11492A. Additional objectives: -to evaluate the effect of Lu AA21004 on Health Related Quality of Life as measured by SF-36 acute (1 week recall) version and EuroQoL scales. -to evaluate the population pharmacokinetics of Lu AA21004 and it?s metabolite.;Primary end point(s): Safety is the primary endpoint in the present study. The measurements include vital signs, ECGs, laboratory tests, weight, physical examinations, adverse events and withdrawal rates.
