LY2216684 + SSRI

Experimental group

Description:

LY2216684: 12 milligrams (mg) or 18 mg, administered orally, once daily for 52 weeks, adjunctive to a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). During the open-label phase, all participants started at the 12 mg dose and could have the dose increased to 18 mg after the first week of treatment. During the first 12 weeks, participants were allowed (at scheduled or unscheduled visits) to decrease their dose to 12 mg based on response. After a decrease in dose to 12 mg, participants could have had an increase back up to 18 mg at any scheduled visit based on response and tolerability. After 12 weeks of treatment, participants maintained a stable dose. Open-label treatment was followed by a 1-week abrupt discontinuation phase. Participants who either completed study visits through Week 52 or discontinued early from the study for any reason returned 1 week later for follow-up visit. Participants did not receive LY2216684 but continued their SSRI treatment at a stable dose.
