Summary

This is an open label, randomized, add-on, 8 weeks multicentre study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of paroxetine Controlled Release (CR) in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) comorbid Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

Subjects will be patients who are referred to the outpatient or inpatient clinic of gastroenterology departments of province level general hospitals in China. All subjects present with irritable bowel syndrome according to ROME III, and also are diagnosed with MDD by Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). All subjects will provide written informed consent prior to participating in the study. Subjects will be assessed for eligibility at a screening visit, with eligible patients returning for a assessment within 1 week, at which time they will randomly enter into paroxetine CR (12.5mg/d, flexible dose: 12.5-50mg/d) plus IBS regular treatment or IBS regular treatment only. Subjects will be evaluated at weeks 2 (Day 14), 4 (Day 28), 6 (Day 42) and 8 (Day 56), for a total of 5 study treatment visits.

Interventions

DRUG

Paroxetine CR

Paroxetine CR will be provided by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and be available as 12.5 mg over-encapsulated tablets with the research use only label outside the package. Paroxetine CR should be administered as a single daily dose, with or without food. The recommended initial dose is 25 mg/day. Patients were dosed in a range of 25 mg to 62.5 mg/day in the clinical trials demonstrating the effectiveness of paroxetine CR in the treatment of major depressive disorder. As with all drugs effective in the treatment of major depressive disorder, the full effect may be delayed. Some patients not responding to a 25-mg dose may benefit from dose increases, in 12.5 mg/day increments, up to a maximum of 62.5 mg/day. Dose changes should occur at intervals of at least 1 week.
