Edivoxetine (INN; code name LY-2216684) is a drug which acts as a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and was under development by Eli Lilly for attention-deficit disorder (ADD) and as an antidepressant treatment.[1][2] It was in phase III clinical trials in 2012 for major depressive disorder, but failed to get approval.[1][3]

Effectiveness

In a study published in 2010, edivoxetine succeeded to prove superiority over placebo, as measured by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. However, effectiveness could be observed using the Self-Rated Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology.[4]

In a study published in 2011, using the Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale and the Sheehan Disability Scale, edivoxetine showed superiority over placebo, with higher response and remission rates.[5]

In December 2013, Eli Lilly announced that the clinical development of edivoxetine will be stopped due to lack of efficacy compared to SSRI alone in three separate clinical trials.[6]

Side effects

Side effects significantly associated with edivoxetine are headache, nausea, constipation, dry mouth and insomnia.[4]

The above-mentioned studies report increases of the cardiac rhythm, and one also increases of diastolic and systolic blood pressures.[4][5]
