Background:Seroquel XR is a medication used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other mental health disorders. It is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and is a well-established drug for the treatment of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of Seroquel XR in the management of acute depressive episodes associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder. In fact, clinical trials have shown the ability of Seroquel XR to be effective in a variety of acute psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Methods:In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 906 patients were randomized to receive a single dose of Seroquel XR for 6 weeks. The primary efficacy outcome was the improvement in the global severity of symptoms, as well as the reduction in the total score of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) domain, as measured by the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale. The secondary efficacy outcomes were the change in the Global Severity of Depressive Symptoms (HDRS) score, the change in HAM-D, HAM-A, HAM-D-S, HAM-A-M, and HAM-A total scores from baseline to 6 months, as well as the change in the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D) domain and the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D-S) domain scores. In addition, the incidence of adverse events such as dizziness, sleep disturbance, nausea, dry mouth, constipation, dizziness, headache, tremor, and somnolence were also assessed.
Results:Of the 906 patients enrolled, 906 (76.7%) met the inclusion criteria. Overall, 81.9% of patients (N = 906) had an improvement in the global severity of symptoms, and 60.8% of patients (N = 906) had a reduction in the total score of the HAM-D, HAM-A, and HAM-D-S domain scores compared to baseline (p < 0.001). A significant increase in the global severity of symptoms was noted in patients treated with Seroquel XR compared to placebo (p < 0.001). The mean change in the HAM-D-S domain scores was 3.6 points (N = 863) in patients treated with Seroquel XR compared to placebo (p = 0.005), and the mean change in HAM-D-S total score was 3.4 (N = 862) in patients treated with Seroquel XR compared to placebo (p = 0.006).
Conclusion:In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 806 patients treated with Seroquel XR for 6 weeks, achieved a significant reduction in the global severity of symptoms. However, it should be noted that this study had a short duration of follow-up, and the data did not show any significant benefit in terms of clinical outcomes. It is likely that patients treated with Seroquel XR will continue to experience significant adverse events, and in some cases, they will not benefit from the drug.
