PG - 643-6 LID - 10.1097/JCP.0b013e31822c6741 [doi] AB - Vilazodone, a selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitor and 5-HT(1A) receptor partial agonist, was efficacious in two 8-week placebo-controlled studies in adults with major depressive disorder. This open-label, multicenter study assessed the long-term safety of vilazodone. Adult patients with a 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression score of 18 or greater received vilazodone according to a fixed-titration schedule to reach a dose of 40 mg/d continued up to 1 year. Safety assessments included adverse events (AEs), physical examinations, clinical chemistry, electrocardiograms, and the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire. Effectiveness was assessed with the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale and Clinical Global Impressions scales. The safety population comprised 599 patients; 254 patients completed 1 year of treatment. The most frequent AEs were diarrhea (35.7%), nausea (31.6%), and headache (20.0%); greater than 90% of these AEs were mild or moderate. Adverse events resulting in discontinuation in more than 1% of patients were nausea (1.3%) and diarrhea (1.2%). There were no clinically important changes in physical examinations, electrocardiograms, or clinical chemistries. Mean weight increased by 1.7 kg (observed cases). Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire mean scores (observed cases) improved throughout treatment for both males and females. Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale mean scores were 29.9 at baseline, 11.4 at week 8, and 7.1 at week 52 (observed cases). Vilazodone 40 mg/d for 1 year was safe and well tolerated by adults with major depressive disorder.
