Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study will examine SPD489 in subjects aged 18-65 with major depressive disorder (MDD) who are taking certain types of antidepressants but continue to have residual depression symptoms. Eligible patients will remain on their antidepressant but will be randomized to either receive supplemental SPD489 or placebo (i.e. sugar pill). The purpose of this study is to help answer the following questions:

  • How safe is SPD489 for the supplemental treatment of depression and what are the side effects that might be related to it?
  • Can supplemental SPD489 help patients who still have residual depression symptoms while taking an antidepressant?
  • How much SPD489 should be given to patients with depression who are also taking an antidepressant?
  • How does SPD489 compare to placebo in depressed patients who are also taking an antidepressant?

Intervention: Placebo (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Time Frame: 8 weeks

MADRS is a validated, 10-item rating scale with each item being scored on a scale from 0-6 with a total score ranging from 0-60. Lower scores indicate a decreased severity of depression.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Mean Change From Baseline in the Short Form-12 Health Survey V2 (SF-12V2)(up to 8 weeks)
  • Percentage of Participants Achieving a 25% Response on the MADRS(up to 8 weeks)
  • Percentage of Participants Achieving a 50% Response on the MADRS(up to 8 weeks)
  • Percentage of Participants Achieving Remission on the MADRS(up to 8 weeks)
  • Change From Baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total Score at up to 8 Weeks(8 weeks)
  • Mean Change From Baseline Over Time in MADRS Total Score(Baseline and up to 8 weeks)
  • Mean Change From Baseline in the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self Report (QIDS SR)(up to 8 weeks)
  • Mean Change From Baseline in the Quality of Life Enjoyment Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF)(up to 8 weeks)
  • Clinical Global Impressions - Global Improvement (CGI-I)(up to 8 weeks)
