This 7-day randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled fixed-dose study (NCT03766867) explored the potential for accelerating the onset of antidepressant efficacy of single-dose intravenous (IV) vortioxetine at oral vortioxetine treatment initiation. Patients (ages 18-65 years) hospitalized per standard-of-care with major depressive disorder, who were currently treated with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor for a major depressive episode [Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score ≥ 30], received one dose of single-blind IV placebo (1-day placebo lead-in period) before being randomly switched to either single-dose IV vortioxetine 25 mg plus daily oral vortioxetine 10 mg (n = 39), or IV placebo plus daily oral placebo (n = 41). In the placebo lead-in period, patients improved slightly by 0.6 MADRS-6 point; however, at day 1 after randomization, both treatment groups had improved by approximately 3 MADRS-6 points (mean difference = -0.8; P = 0.263), the study thus not meeting its primary endpoint. Similar results were seen for other outcomes except a numerically larger improvement in anxiety symptoms with vortioxetine vs placebo. Pharmacokinetic data confirmed that IV vortioxetine facilitated reaching steady-state plasma concentration within 24 h. IV plus oral vortioxetine was well tolerated, with low levels of nausea as the most common adverse event.
