What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of adverse events in Japanese subjects treated with paroxetine tablet based on prescribing information under the conditions of general clinical practice

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Presence/absence of concomitant use of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6

    PAXIL inhibits drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP2D6, and it takes about 1 week following discontinuation of PAXIL for this CYP2D6 function to recover from the inhibiting effect. Since it requires attention if drugs that are metabolized by CYP2D6 are administered during this recovery period, it was decided to investigate the presence/absence of use of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6 within 2 weeks after discontinuation of treatment in patients for whom treatment with PAXIL was discontinued, as well as the safety thereof.

    Measured: Within 2 weeks after discontinuation or completion of treatment

  3. Presence/absence of concomitant use of products containing Saint John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum; "SJW", hereinafter)

    Although the action mechanism for this is not clear, SJW has been reported to have the action of inhibiting reuptake of serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine, and to exhibit an antidepressant effect. Since PAXIL also acts to inhibit serotonin reuptake, concomitant use of products containing SJW is thought to have an effect upon the serotonin reuptake inhibiting action of PAXIL, so it was decided to check for concomitant use of products containing SJW and investigate the safety of such concomitant use.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mental Disorders, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 8 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Incidence of adverse events in Japanese subjects treated with paroxetine tablet based on prescribing information under the conditions of general clinical practice (time frame: 8 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Jun 2017.
