The Pharmacokinetics and Bioequivalence of Desvenlafaxine Succinate in Chinese Healthy Subjects Under Fasting and Fed States
The objective of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokine tics and bioequivalence of desvenlafaxine succinate in Chinese healthy subjects. A single-dose, open-label, randomized, two-way crossover study with a 7-day washout period was conducted. A total of 88 individuals were incorporated to show bioequivalence of a generic and a reference drug, with 48 ind ividuals in the fasting state and 40 receiving a high-fat diet. Finally, 46 and 38 individuals completed the fasting and the fed study, respectively. The 90% confidence intervals of the adjusted geometric mean ratios for maximum plasma concentration, area under the co...

Head-To-Head Comparison of Vortioxetine Versus Desvenlafaxine in Patients With Major Depressive Disorder With Partial Response to SSRI Therapy: Results of the VIVRE Study
Conclusions: Compared with the SNRI desvenlafaxine, vortioxetine was associated with significantly higher rates of CGI-S remission, better daily and social functioning, and greater treatment satisfaction in patients with MDD and partial response to SSRIs. These findings support the use of vortioxetine before SNRIs in the treatment algorithm in patients with MDD.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04448431.PMID:37227402 | DOI:10.4088/JCP.23m14780 (Source: Journal of Clinical Psychiatry)
