Treatment and study plan

Duloxetine

Drug

Primary outcomes

  1. To test whether duloxetine 60-120 mg daily, when combined with non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by remission rate (proportion of patients with HAMD17 score < or = 7 at endpoint)

Secondary outcomes

  1. To test whether duloxetine 60-120 mg daily, when combined with non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone as measured by: Mean change (baseline to endpoint) on HAMD17

  2. To test whether duloxetine 60-120 mg daily, when combined with non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by response rates (> or = 50% decrease from baseline to endpoint on HAMD17)

  3. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by HAMD17 subscales (Core, Maier, Anxiety/Somatization, Retardation/Somatization, Sleep & General Somatic Symptoms item)

  4. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by mean change from baseline to endpoint on the revised Mood and Physical symptoms of Depression scale (MAP-D)

  5. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by treatment adherence as measured by the Morisky Medication Adherence Questionnaire and study drug compliance

  6. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI - Severity) Rating Scale

  7. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI - Improvement) Rating Scale

  8. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by patient satisfaction with medication and treatment overall as measured by a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  9. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by attitudes to taking medicines as measured by the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ)

  10. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Quality of Life and Health Outcome measure: EuroQol Questionnaire (EQ-5D)

  11. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Quality of Life and Health Outcome measure: Symptom Questionnaire

  12. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Quality of Life and Health Outcome measure: Somatic Subscale (SQ-SS)

  13. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Quality of Life and Health Outcome measure: 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)

  14. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by Quality of Life and Health Outcome measure: Resource Use and Hospitalization Module

  15. To test if duloxetine 60-120 mg daily + non-pharmacological intervention, is superior to duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, measured by painful physical symptoms of depression as measured by the VAS for Pain

  16. To evaluate safety and tolerability of duloxetine 60-120 mg daily when combined with non-pharmacological intervention and duloxetine 60-120 mg daily alone, as measured by spontaneously reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

  17. To evaluate the incidence of adverse events during Study Period III (optional taper period) as measured by spontaneously reported adverse events

  18. To validate a revised version of the MAP-D (a novel scale for the measurement of emotional and physical symptoms of depression) in European outpatients with depression
