Study background: Assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of desvenlafaxine (administered as desvenlafaxine succinate) in 3 studies with healthy volunteers.
Methods: Study 1, a randomized, open-label, dose proportionality, crossover study, assessed pharmacokinetics and safety of single doses of desvenlafaxine 100, 300, and 600 mg (N=24). Study 2, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential-group, single-ascending dose study, assessed pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of desvenlafaxine 150–900 mg and venlafaxine extended-release 150 mg (N=79). Study 3, a doubleblind, placebo-controlled, sequential-group, multiple-ascending dose study, assessed pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety of desvenlafaxine 300, 450, and 600 mg (N=36). In all studies, safety was monitored through adv.. View More»
