BackgroundMajor depressive disorder (MDD) is frequently associated with reduced quality of life (QoL) and sleep disturbance. We investigated the effects of once-daily extended release quetiapine fumarate (quetiapine XR) monotherapy on QoL and sleep in elderly patients with MDD.MethodsProspectively planned analysis of patient-reported data from an 11-week (9-week randomized; 2-week post-treatment), double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase III study. Elderly patients (â¥66 years; DSM-IV MDD; Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression [HAM-D] total score â¥22, HAM-D Item 1 score â¥2) were randomized to quetiapine XR (flexible dosing 50-300 mg/day) or placebo. Primary outcome: MADRS total score change from randomization at Week 9. Patient-reported outcomes: Quality of Life, Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF) % of maximum total score (Items 1-14), Q-LES-Q-SF Item 15 ('satisfaction with medication'), Q-LES-Q-SF Item 16 ('overall life satisfaction'), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) global score.ResultsIn total, 338 patients were randomized (166 quetiapine XR; 172 placebo). At Week 9, quetiapine XR significantly reduced MADRS total score (â16.33; difference: â7.54; 95% CI: â9.23, â5.85; p<0.001) versus placebo (â8.79). Quetiapine XR significantly improved Q-LES-Q-SF % of maximum total score (16.86; difference: 7.69; 95% CI: 4.99, 10.39; p<0.001) versus placebo (9.17), with numerical improvement in Q-LES-Q-SF Item 15 and improvement in Item 16. Improvement in PSQI global score was observed with quetiapine XR (-6.42; difference: â3.52; 95% CI: â4.26, â2.79; p<0.001) versus placebo (â2.89).LimitationsLack of active-comparator arm, flexible-dose design, acute treatment period.ConclusionsQuetiapine XR monotherapy improved QoL and sleep in elderly patients with MDD.
