PG - 206-215 LID - S0165-0327(24)00472-5 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jad.2024.03.057 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of different dosage regimens of zuranolone in the treatment of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). METHODS: PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library and other databases were searched from inception until July 2019. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to the efficacy and safety of zuranolone in the treatment of MDD were included. The data were extracted independently by 2 investigators and assessed the study quality by the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. The primary outcome includes the 17-item HAMILTON total score (HAMD-17) and the incidence of adverse events (AEs). RESULTS: Six high-quality RCTs with 1593 patients were finally included in our analysis. Zuranolone group achieve a notable treatment effect at day15 in HAMD-17 compared with placebo group (MD = -2.69, 95 % CI: -4.45 to -0.94, P < 0.05). For safety, no significant differences existed in the proportion of patients with AEs between zuranolone with placebo (RR = 1.25, 95 % CI: 0.99 to 1.58, P = 0.06). CONCLUSION: Zuranolone has a significant efficacy in improving depressive symptoms in the short term and is positively correlated with the dosage administered. However, the efficacy of zuranolone decreased significantly when the time of administration was extended. Zuranolone demonstrated a controllable safety issue. But adverse effects increased as the dose of zuranolone was gradually increased to 50 mg. CI - Copyright (c) 2024 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
