A Study of LY2216684 in Major Depressive Disorder in Patients Taking Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors

Completed · Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Major Depressive Disorder

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of LY2216684 on heart rate and blood pressure in research participants with MDD who are being treated with an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). Information about any side effects that may occur will also be collected. The duration of participation in this study is approximately 24 days not including the screening visit. This study requires 1 clinic confinement of 17 days/16 nights and 1 Follow-up Outpatient Visit. A screening visit is required within 30 days prior to the start of the study. In both periods 1 and 2, the study involves 4 single daily doses of 18 mg LY2216684 or placebo taken as 2 tablets by mouth. In period 3, the study involves four single daily doses of 36 mg LY2216684 or placebo taken as 4 tablets by mouth.

• Male patients: Agree to use a reliable method of birth control during the study and for 3 months following the last dose of study drug.
• Female patients: Are women of child-bearing potential who test negative for pregnancy at the time of enrollment, have used a reliable method of birth control for 6 weeks prior to administration of study drug, and agree to use a reliable method of birth control during the study and for 1 month following the last dose of study drug; or Women not of child-bearing potential due to surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation) or menopause for at least 1 year without menses or 6 months without menses and a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) >40 milli-international-units/milliliter (mIU/mL).
• Have a body mass index (BMI) of up to 32.0 kilogram/squaremeter (kg/m2).
• Have normal blood pressure (BP) and pulse rate (systolic BP <140, diastolic BP <90; supine position and standing) as determined by the investigator.
• Patients that have a diagnosis of hypertension but are well controlled on a stable dose (at least 4 weeks of diuretic, angiotensin converting enzyme [ACE]-inhibitor, or angiotensin 2 receptor inhibitor) are acceptable for inclusion in this study. Allowance of a specific anti-hypertensive is per the investigator's discretion.
• Have screening clinical laboratory test results within normal reference range for the population or investigator site, or results with acceptable deviations that are judged to be not clinically significant by the investigator.

• Have known allergies to any compound related to LY2216684.
• Are persons who have previously completed or withdrawn from this study or any other study investigating LY2216684.
• Have a clinically significant abnormality in the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) that, in the opinion of the investigator, increases the risks associated with participating in the study.
• Have a significant history of or presence of cardiovascular (including dysrhythmias), respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematological, or neurological disorders, or any condition capable of significantly altering the absorption, metabolism, or elimination of drugs; of constituting a risk when taking the study medication; or of interfering with the interpretation of data.
