Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and plasma concentration changes of quetiapine after multiple oral administration of FK949E (extended-release formulation of quetiapine) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).

This is a dose-titration study. In low-dose-group, patients receive prescribed dose on Day 5 after 3-step dose increases. In high-dose-group patients receive prescribed dose on Day 7 after 4-step dose increases. Patients receive prescribed dose of FK949E for 7 days in each group.
