  • duloxetine hydrochlorideDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary objective in the acute phase of this study is to compare the incidence of treatment-emergent nausea

  2. for patients initially dosed at duloxetine 30 mg QD

  3. (once-daily), versus duloxetine 60 mg QD.

  4. The primary objective in the extension phase of this study is to compare efficacy in patients not meeting response criteria during the acute phase for patients dosed at duloxetine 60 mg QD versus duloxetine 120 mg QD.

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. The secondary objective of greatest importance is to compare the incidence of treatment-emergent nausea

  2. (as defined for the primary objective) for patients

  3. initially dosed at duloxetine 30 mg QD, versus duloxetine 30 mg BID (twice-daily).

  4. Additional secondary objectives include comparing the three initial dosing groups in regards to:Mean changes from baseline in the category total scores and individual items scores of the AMDP-5

  5. The incidence and severity of adverse events using rates of spontaneously reported treatment-emergent adverse events, rates of discontinuations due to

  6. adverse events, categorical changes in AMDP-5 items, mean changes and categorical changes in vital signs

  7. as well as mean changes and rates of abnormal laboratory analytes

  8. Mean changes from baseline in the HAMD17 total score, HAMD subscales, HAMD17 individual items, 30-item Inventory of Depressive Symptoms,

  9. Clinician Rated (IDS-30) total score and individual items, Brief Pain Inventory items and interference

  10. total score, Visual Analog Scales for pain, Clinical Global Impressions of Severity (CGI-Severity), Post-baseline means

  11. on the Patient's Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I), Remission rates (HAMD17 total score of less than 7),

  12. and response rates (greater than 50% decrease from baseline on the HAMD17 total score).

  13. - Sexual dysfunction, as measured by categorical changes (same, better, worse) and presence vs. absence, based on the patient global assessment of sexual functioning.

  14. Time to onset of action in depression (30% improvement in Maier Subscale of HAMD) and painful physical symptoms (30% improvement in as measure by the BPI interference total score).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing duloxetine hydrochloride in people with Depressive Disorder, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 32 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 32 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary objective in the acute phase of this study is to compare the incidence of treatment-emergent nausea. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00191061, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jan 2007.
