Mirtazapine is an antidepressant with a novel mechanism of action. Table 1 next page ; outlines comparative properties of mirtazapine to other commonly prescribed antidepressant agents. Pharmacology Mirtazapine is a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant NaSSA ; . Its mechanism of action is unique, as unlike other antidepressants, mirtazapine is not a neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor.1-2 Mirtazapine acts by antagonizing central presynaptic alpha 2 receptors and post-synaptic 5HT2 and 5HT3 receptors. As such, it enhances both noradrenergic and serotonergic 5HT1A transmission. Comparison to Other Antidepressants Antidepressant effects from mirtazapine are generally detectable in 1-2 weeks.1 In several randomized trials of tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, mirtazapine has been shown to be similar in efficacy to amitriptyline, clomipramine, doxepin and trazodone.1-5 In comparison to SSRIs, mirtazapine was superior to the comparator SSRI at one to four weeks, but not at study end six to eight weeks ; .6-8 These results suggest that mirtazapine may have an earlier onset of action than the comparator antidepressants.9 Role of Mirtazapine Mirtazapine has a unique pharmacologic profile and more rapid response as compared to SSRIs. Additionally, there is evidence to support its use as add-on augmentation ; therapy for patients who do not respond to an initial antidepressant. A recent randomized, double-blind placebo controlled trial showed a benefit to mirtazapine when combined with SSRIs, bupropion or venlafaxine response rate 64% mirtazapine vs. 20% placebo, p 0.043 ; .10 Mirtazapine is similar in cost to other antidepressants, with minimal drug interactions and a comparable adverse effect profile. Of note, mirtazapine is associated with less nausea but more weight gain than comparator SSRIs, less sexual dysfunction and tremor than paroxetine, and less sweating than citalopram. 11.
A09 EARLY DETECTION OF DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS DURING TREATMENT WITH PEGYLATED INTERFERON ALPHA-2B AND RIBAVIRIN IN EUTHYMIC PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS C. P.E Golstein 1 ; , P. Oswald 2 ; , J.

Adler 1 ; . 1 ; Department of Gastroenterology, Hpital Erasme, Universit Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium ; 2 ; Department of Psychiatry, Hpital Erasme, Universit Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. Background : Depressive symptoms are common during therapy of chronic hepatitis C CHC ; with pegylated interferon PegIFN ; and may compromise successful treatment. However, their systematic assessment has not been performed in euthymic patients with CHC. Aims : To prospectively assess the development of major depressive disorders MDD ; in adult nave euthymic CHC patients during combination therapy PegIFN-a2b 1.5 g kg w and ribavirin 800-1200 mg d ; 24 to 48 with validated Depression Rating Scales DRS ; . Methods : Patient psychiatric history was firstly screened by the gastroenterologist according to the following criteria : hospitalization for psychiatric disease ; suicidal attempt ; substance abuse ; dependence disorder ; treatment with methadone, antidepressant drug or high dose of benzodiazepine. In the absence of all of these criteria, the psychiatrist evaluated each patient with the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview MINI ; , the Hamilton DRS-17 items HAM-D 17 , the Montgomery-Asberg DRS MADRS ; , the Clinical Global Impressions and the Beck Depression Inventory BDI ; . In the absence of psychiatric disorder according to the MINI, treatment of CHC was started. BDI was auto-performed every 2W and psychiatric assessment was performed every 4W. Patients developing depressive symptoms BDI 18 or HAM-D 17 ; 17 ; were reevaluated with the MINI to assess criteria for MDD. In case of MDD, escitalopram was started. Results : Of the 28 consecutive patients without psychiatric history screened by the gastroenterologist, 26 93% ; were free of active psychiatric disorder after psychiatric assessment and 19 were evaluable 9 males ; 49.6 9.3 yrs ; . Mean baseline scores were low SEM ; : 2, 4 0, 5 HAM-D 17 ; 2, 4 0, 6 MADRS 0, 3 0, 1 CGI ; and 2, 3 0, 7 BDI ; . However, 5 patients 26% ; developed MDD : 3 early episodes from W6 to W18 ; and 2 late episodes at W42 and W48 ; . Logistic regression analysis showed a trend for baseline HAM-D 17 ; 5 p 0, 06 ; MADRS 5 p 0, 06 ; BDI 6 p 0, 06 ; predict early development of MDD during therapy. Conclusions : 1 ; There is a good correlation between the absence of psychiatric history screened by the gastroenterologist and the absence of psychiatric disorder assessed by the psychiatrist ; 2 ; MDD develop in a high proportion of euthymic patients during therapy ; 3 ; Baseline HAM-D 17 ; 5 or MADRS 5 or BDI 6 seem to predict early MDD but this trend needs to be confirmed by the ongoing study.

Calcium channel L-CA2 + ; agonists, such as BAY K-8644, induce SIB in healthy animals, whereas nefidepine, a L-CA2 + blocker, appears to prevent apomorphine-induced SIB in some lesioned animals. These experiments suggest that the postsynaptic L-CA2 + channels mediate the interaction with D1 receptors. Dr. Blake then detailed experiments suggesting that the downstream interaction of the calcium channels and dopamine receptors is mediated through ERK. Lesioned animals show increases in ERK phosphorylation in the striatum and prefrontal cortex when primed with a D1 agonist. Increased ERK phosphorylation is also thought to induce decreases in microtubule-associated protein 2 MAP2 ; and changes in dendritic bundling, which are similar to those seen in patients with schizophrenia and autism. Inhibiting the ERK kinase MEK prevents these changes. BAY K-8644 administration appears to resolve the MAP2 and bundling changes, through a calciumcalmodulin-dependent protein 2 CAMK2 ; -dependent mechanism. Dr. Rob Nicolson University of Western Ontario, London ; spoke about the "Use of serotonergic and other antidepressants in the treatment of aggression and self-injurious behaviour in the developmentally disabled." Dr. Nicolson's talk focused on the use of SSRI and tricyclic antidepressants in the treatment of developmental disorders, particularly autism. He began his talk by noting that aggression or SIB is the most common reason for initiating pharmacotherapy in the developmentally disabled. Studies of tricyclic agents in managing developmental disorders suggest that they are of limited use. In some cases, they produce improvements, particularly with clomipramine, but behavioural worsening, increased irritability, aggression and temper are also commonly observed. SSRIs appear to be more promising agents, especially because reduced serotonin may be an underlying cause of aggressivity. Many open-label studies suggest that SSRIs have beneficial effects; however, few controlled studies have been conducted. Improvements in social function, irritability and stereotypy have been observed in adults with autism following administration of escitalopram. Fluvoxamine improved aggressive behaviours in adults with autism; however, in children it was less well-tolerated and less effective. Similarly fluoxetine had serious side effects in children with autism and, while it improved repetitive behaviours, it did not reduce aggressive ones. On the whole, SSRIs appear to be a better choice than tricyclic drugs in adults with developmental disabilities. In children, neither class of drug reliably reduces aggressive behaviours, and side effects tend to be difficult to tolerate. Dr. David Janowsky University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC ; presented a talk entitled "Treatment of aggression, SIB and destruction by atypical and conventional antipsychotic agents in the mentally retarded." Dr Janowsky retrospectively analyzed the records of institutionalized mentally retarded patients being treated with antipsychotic drugs. He began by describing tactics for assessing the severity of mental retardation MR ; , the behavioural problems associated with MR and the available pharmacotherapy in these populations. Dr. Janowsky then reviewed work that suggests that olanzapine and risperidol, but not quetiapine, are effective in managing aggressive, self-injurious and destructive and chloromycetin.

EFFECT OF MULTIPLE DOSES OF ESCITALOPRAM ON THE SYSTEMIC EXPOSURE OF RAMELTEON, A SELECTIVE MT1 MT2 RECEPTOR AGONIST, IN HEALTHY ADULTS Karim A, Bradford D, Siebert F, Zhao Z, Sainati S Takeda Global Research and Development Center, Inc., Lincolnshire, IL, USA Introduction : The chronohypnotic RozeremTM ramelteon ; is a highly selective MT1 MT2 receptor agonist indicated for insomnia. Since sleep medications are likely to be taken with antidepressants, this study examined the potential interaction of ramelteon and the SSRI escitalopram. Methods : In this open-label study, 48 healthy adults received single dose ramelteon 8 mg n 24 ; or escitalopram 10 mg n 24 ; on Day 1. Following a 6-day washout period, subjects received the alternate treatment once dailiy for 6 days. On Day 14, all subjects received combined treatment of escitalopram 10 mg and ramelteon 8 mg. Blood samples were collected post-dose on Days 1 and 14. Least-squares means were calculated for comparison analyses. Results : Compared to ramelteon alone, coadministration with escitalopram increased ramelteon systemic exposure AUC0-inf: 2.03 vs. 2.58 ngh mL, 90%CI: 102.6%, 156.7%; Cmax: 1.54 vs. 2.08 ng mL, 90%CI and cilexetil.

And were suffering from a similarly moderate degree of depression mean HAM-D score, 19 ; . Imipramine mean dose, 83 mg d; mean plasma level of imipramine plus des methylimipramine, 116 ng mL ; or placebo was prescribed for 8 weeks. Substantial, highly significant, and almost iden tical improvements occurred in mean HAM-D scores in both the imipramine subjects 19.3 before treatment vs. 11.5 following treatment ; and placebo subjects 18.6 before treatment vs. 10.8 following treatment ; . Imipramine was generally well tolerated in these subjects. However, its cen tral anticholinergic effect likely accounted for subtle decre ments in cognitive function in the imipramine group. The improvement in HAM-D scores was similar to that achieved in the open inpatient studies reported by Greenwald et al. 28 ; and Reynolds et al. 26 ; . This outpatient study demon strated that depressive signs and symptoms can be reduced in outpatients with AD, but the mechanism of treatment efficacy does not appear to be a specific antidepressant effect of imipramine. Petracca et al. 34 ; randomly assigned 24 patients meet ing criteria for AD with DSM-III-R depression to treatment with either clomipramine or placebo in a randomized, dou ble-blinded, placebo-controlled crossover study. As in the imipramine trial reported by Reifler et al. 33 ; , both active drug in this case clomipramine ; and placebo were associ ated with significant improvement in depression ratings. However, in this study, the improvement in depression in the active drug group was modestly greater than that in the placebo group. One subject in the clomipramine group dropped out of the study because of an acute confusional episode likely attributable to the central anticholinergic ac tivity of clomipramine. Nyth et al. 35 ; have reported the only placebo-controlled trial of an SSRI in patients with dementia and con comitant depression. In this study, subjects were random ized to 20 mg of citaopram per day or placebo for 6 weeks. Twenty-three patients with dementia presumably includ ing a substantial number of patients with AD ; were ``nested'' in a larger controlled trial of depressed elderly persons n 149 ; , the majority of whom were not suffering from dementia. The inclusion criterion for ``depression'' was an HAM-D score of at least 14. In the 23 subjects with demen tia who completed the 6-month trial, modest but significant differences were noted favoring citaolpram over placebo in the observer-rated fear panic, depressed mood, and im paired recent memory items of the dementia rating scale of Gottfries et al. 36 ; . As the imipramine and clomipramine studies described above, a substantial antidepressant re sponse to placebo occurred in these subjects, but citalopram was modestly superior to placebo and was well tolerated. Although the effects of citalopram on psychometric tests were not reported, observer-rated improvement in memory is supportive of other studies suggesting that SSRIs do not have an adverse effect on cognitive function 37 ; . These limited data from placebo-controlled studies of and clozaril. Company is not in compliance with cGMP, certain sanctions may be imposed, including suspension of manufacturing, seizure of products or voluntary recalls of product. Product approvals may also be delayed or withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reaches the market. The FDA and the Federal Trade Commission also have stringent labelling, advertising, promotion and marketing regulations which must be followed. Failure to abide by these regulations can result in regulatory action ranging from the issuance of warning letters requiring a company to correct irregularities, to product recalls and product seizures. Pricing and reimbursement In contrast to most other countries, the United States does not impose price controls on prescription pharmaceutical products. Medicaid, Medicare and other government-funded healthcare programmes govern provider reimbursement levels for pharmaceuticals, including generics in many cases. Medicaid pays for medical assistance for those on low incomes while Medicare provides health insurance mainly for those over age 65. The Medicaid program requires that pharmaceutical manufacturers pay rebates to individual states on Medicaidreimbursed pharmaceutical products. Agreements with federal and state governments provide that the manufacturer will remit on a quarterly basis to each state Medicaid agency 11 per cent. of the average manufacturer price for its products marketed under ANDAs and covered by the state Medicaid program. The Medicare Act 2003, when fully implemented in 2006, will increase the availability of pharmaceutical products to a larger number of patients by expanding the scope of Medicare coverage for pharmaceutical products in the United States. This is likely to increase the overall volume of drugs sold, as well as the government-funded share of existing volumes. Given the government's emphasis on containing costs, the generic share of the overall market should increase by volume albeit at lower Medicare prices. The precise nature of the impact or its effect, if any, on Hikma's profitability cannot be predicted. Intellectual property rights The United States, as a member of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and the Patent Cooperation Treaty, and as a signatory to TRIPs, recognises both product and process patents. Furthermore, the USPTO potentially allows a wide range of product and process patents covering many different aspects of pharmaceutical products and processes for manufacturing them. It is common for originator pharmaceutical companies to file a number of patents on each pharmaceutical product in order to maximise its period of exclusivity. Patents granted in the United States now last for 20 years from the date of filing with the USPTO but, for patents filed in the United States before 8 June 1995, the period of patent protection runs for the greater of the 20 years term or 17 years from the date on which the patent was issued. Patent term extensions for patents covering the API are also available in the United States under the HatchWaxman Act, if the date of first marketing of the drug was delayed as a result of the regulatory approvals process. Any extension given is limited to the earlier of five years from the expiry of the 20-year patent term, or 14 years from the date of regulatory approval. A section of US patent law known as the Bolar exemption, also provides that it shall not be an act of infringement to make, use, offer to sell, or sell within the United States or import into the United States a patented invention solely for uses reasonably related to the development and submission of information under federal law which regulates the manufacture, use, or sale of pharmaceutical products or veterinary biological products. This enables generic pharmaceutical companies to develop and seek approval for generic versions of patented products prior to the date of patent expiry, so that the generic version can be launched as soon as possible after the patent exclusivity has expired. The pharmaceutical industry in United States is very litigious. It has seen a very large number of patent infringement cases in recent years in which originator patent holders have used their patent rights to try to keep generic versions of the originator pharmaceutical company's products out of the US market and or to claim damages from the generic new entrant for infringement of their patent rights. Generic entrants to the US market, especially those who file ANDAs under Paragraph IV certifications, are particularly exposed to this expensive and time consuming patent infringement litigation. Data Exclusivity In addition to the provisions for patent life extensions, the Hatch-Waxman Act provides for two periods of nonpatent exclusivity. A five year period of data exclusivity is awarded to the NDA sponsor that receives approval of a new chemical entity, viz., a new molecule irrespective of salts or esters. Therefore, ANDAs for regulatory 36. Statistical analysis For each drug group we calculated the incidence rate 95% confidence intervals ; for completed suicide and first attempted suicide by dividing the number of outcomes by the total person time of use of each drug person years at risk ; . We evaluated the potential confounding effect of each covariate by comparing unadjusted and adjusted incidence rate ratios using MantelHaenszel methods. For each outcome we built a time dependent Cox hazards regression model. Follow-up time was linked to calendar time. Time zero was set at 1 January 1995. Patients could contribute usage time to more than one treatment. To avoid saturation of the statistical model in the completed suicide analysis we limited the analysis covariates to age, sex, age-sex interaction, overlap with other antidepressants, and the 10 confounders associated with the largest changes of the adjusted incidence rate ratio of venlafaxine with each comparator. This resulted in 24 analysis covariates because we introduced those confounders identified in more than one paired comparison for example, venlafaxine versus citalopram, venlafaxine versus fluoxetine, and venlafaxine versus dothiepin ; only once in the model. The larger number of outcomes in the attempted suicide analysis allowed us to include in the model all the variables that modified the adjusted incidence rate ratios. We estimated hazard ratios 95% confidence intervals ; for each treatment comparison and for each potential confounder in the model. All analyses were carried out using SAS for UNIX software version 9.1. It can truly be considered a medical miracle since it provides most of the benefits of blood transfusion without transfusing blood. Citalopram treatment doseRepublic.80 This compared the costs and effects of the TCA amitriptyline with the SSRIs citalopram and fluoxetine. The analysis was designed to be from the insurer's perspective and the measure of outcome used was `days free from hospitalisation'. Resource-use information was collected by questionnaires completed by physicians and costs were based on hospital charges. The investigators found no significant differences in either costs or outcomes between the three groups. There is a paucity of information regarding the costeffectiveness of SSRIs and TCAs in a UK setting. This review failed to highlight any study specifically focusing on lofepramine. Of the small number of UK studies that compare the cost-effectiveness of SSRIs with TCAs, all use decision-analytic methods and are based on assumptions regarding costs and outcomes, particularly regarding resource-use data, rather than directly observed data. Of the studies that have collected resource-use and outcome information directly, none produced estimates of cost-effectiveness in a ratio form. As they were based in different healthcare systems in the USA79 and Czech Republic, 80 there is no reason to suggest that these results are generalisable to a UK setting. As their patents expire, the SSRIs will become cheaper, although not nearly as cheap as the old TCAs, and therefore this will not end the debate over costeffectiveness.

A double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, flexible-dose study to evaluate the tolerability, efficacy and effects of treatment discontinuation with escitalopram and paroxetine in patients with major depressive disorder. The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor activity of citalopram and its active metabolites resides mainly in the S ; -enantiomer. This enantiomer and its metabolites are eliminated slightly faster from the body than the R ; -enantiomer and its metabolites. In overdose, there is a concern about the potential for sudden death, possibly related to QT prolongation due to a secondary metabolite formed from R ; -citalopram. S ; -citalopram escitalopram ; was therefore developed with the aim of a better harm: benefit ratio compared to R ; -citalopram. However, this potential clinical advantage remains to be clinically proven. We think our case demonstrates that the need to prescribe citalopram and other ssri with caution, especially in older female patients, anatomically predisposed individuals, glaucoma patients and those with a family history of glaucoma.
