Cetkat Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I saw my pdoc yesterday & he wanted to put me in a study for a new SSRI med. I didn't qualify due to my work schedule (no night work allowed due to some sort of sleeping chart) but he thinks that it looks promising. I glanced over the information, and it's a double-blind study of the new drug vs paxil vs placebo with a pool of about 400-500. It has a short-term assessment with an option to move into a longer one (a total of 14 months I believe). I'm not sure how far along a drug would have to be for this type of study, but unless I misunderstood the pdoc - it's a new med, not a revamp of an old one (I specifically asked if it was a newer Paxil since that's what they a comparing it with). I didn't write down the name (it began with an 'a'), but it wasn't one that I've seen before. I can probably find out at my next visit. Has anyone heard of this?

Velvet Elvis Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Heard of what? Did he say that the drug has not been released yet? Studies are frequently done after drugs are released as well.

Cetkat Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 Heard of the drug the study is referring to. My take was that it is new and unreleased. Thanks for the link - I found an earlier trial for the drug! It's Agomelatine. http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00463242?order=50 Also: http://www.pcpoh.bham.ac.uk/publichealth/h...Agomelatine.pdf http://counsellingresource.com/medications...essed-patients/ http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/adis...000012/art00003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_thepunisher_* Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I wonder how long it will be before the new "effexor" comes out? Something like desvenaflaxine?

null0trooper Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I wonder how long it will be before the new "effexor" comes out? Something like desvenaflaxine? You mean Pristig? You may see it in 2008, before Valdoxan comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_thepunisher_* Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Yeah, that is it. I wonder how that will be, is it pretty much like lexapro, where they isolated the part of effexor that works and just cleaned it up? I wonder how long it will be before the new "effexor" comes out? Something like desvenaflaxine? You mean Pristig? You may see it in 2008, before Valdoxan comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
