Trial overview

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Paroxetine Controlled Release for Major Depressive Disorder in Irritable Bowel Syndrome patients: An open-label, randomized, add-on study
Trial description: 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.
