Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Effectiveness Study of Quetiapine XR in Comorbid Depressive and Anxiety Disorders.
Objective: Quetiapine is approved as an adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) and as monotherapy for bipolar depression. It is often used off-label for treating anxiety conditions and as an augmentation agent for treatment-resistant depression. However, its benefit in depression with comorbid anxiety disorders has not been systematically evaluated. The current study evaluated the benefit and tolerability of quetiapine as augmentation to first-line antidepressants for MDD comorbid with anxiety disorders.
Methods: In this multicenter trial (June 2008-June 2013), 76 adults (aged 18-65 years) with a primary diagnosis of unipolar depression comorbid with at least 1 anxiety disorder (per DSM-IV-TR criteria) received flexible-dose quetiapine extended-release (XR) 50-300 mg/d or placebo as add-on for 12 weeks in a 2:1 ratio. Depression, anxiety, life satisfaction, and adverse events were assessed.
Results: Depression, anxiety, and function improved significantly in both groups. On primary outcome measures, quetiapine was superior to placebo in improving depression (17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score: mean difference = -3.64; 95% CI, -7.01 to -0.27) and anxiety symptoms (Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale score: mean difference = -4.02; 95% CI, -7.41 to -0.64), as well as Clinical Global Impressions-Severity of Illness scale score (mean difference = -0.64; 95% CI, -1.13 to -0.15). On secondary measures including the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Penn State Worry Questionnaire, and Quality of Life Satisfaction and Enjoyment Questionnaire, quetiapine produced a greater degree of improvement compared to placebo, but group differences were not statistically significant. Quetiapine was well tolerated, with mostly minor and no serious adverse effects.
Conclusions: Quetiapine augmentation may be a useful intervention for MDD with comorbid anxiety.
