Shire Reports Positive Signal Finding Study of Investigative Use of Vyvanse(R) (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) Capsules as Adjunctive Treatment in Major Depressive Disorder
Date:10/29/2010

entration. MDD affects approximately five million patients in the United States alone and total costs for treating this condition exceeded $83.1 billion in 2002. It is estimated that MDD will become the second leading cause of morbidity worldwide across all ages by 2020.

While an extensive number of anti-depressants have been approved for monotherapy in MDD, many patients remain symptomatic and disabled by incomplete resolution of MDD symptoms despite treatment with anti-depressant monotherapy at appropriate doses and trial duration. These patients with an inadequate therapeutic response represent up to two-thirds of patients treated with anti-depressant monotherapy. Commonly, these inadequate responders remain symptomatic with respect to mood, concentration, motivation, and interest, often reflected by disability in multiple life domains (e.g., work/school, social life, and home/family life). Major health authorities recognize inadequate response in MDD as a valid target for pharmacologic intervention, with two medications being current approved in the US and/or the EU.
