A treatment for adults, who suffer from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. AstraZeneca announced today that the once-a-day SEROQUEL XR® (quetiapine fumarate) Extended Release Tablets has been approved and will be available for adults with MDD.
"Today's FDA approval of SEROQUEL XR is based on a clinical development program in MDD involving 939 patients randomized across two studies that assessed the efficacy and safety of once-daily treatment with SEROQUEL XR as adjunctive treatment to antidepressants," said Lisa Schoenberg, VP Specialty Care, AstraZeneca. "This new indication for SEROQUEL XR marks an important milestone in the treatment of MDD, as there is a significant need for additional options that may help patients with this devastating condition who are not adequately responding to their antidepressant therapy."
