Scientific title"Effects of agomelatine (25 to 50 mg/day) on sleep EEG parameters compared to escitalopram in patients with Major Depressive Disorder. A 6-week randomised, double-blind parallel groups study versus comparator, followed by a double-blind optional treatment extension period up to 6 months."
Study objectivesTo demonstrate that depressed patients treated with agomelatine present a greater improvement in sleep efficiency than patients treated with Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI).
Ethics approval(s)First approval received from the local ethics committee (Comité de Protection des Personnes Ile de France VIII) on the 18/01/2007 (ref: 070101)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMajor Depressive Disorder
InterventionTherapeutic doses of agomelatine versus therapeutic doses of SSRI.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Agomelatine, SSRI
Primary outcome measureEffects of agomelatine on sleep Electroencephalogram (EEG) parameters, corresponding to sleep efficiency index, compared to SSRI in patients with major depressive disorder.
Secondary outcome measures1. Other sleep parameters
