this article is actually about how the trials in the us failed due to very high placebo effects, tested in i believe 4 other countries it rated very high...very curious about that aspect.
but reading about the drug itself sounds VERY promising to me. i listed some specs on med i found.
article also mentioned 3 or 4 other AD coming to trials, or to market soon.http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/742964?sssdmh=dm1.690723&src=confwrap
Lu AA21004, which is currently in clinical development for MDD treatment, acts as a 5-HT3 and 5-HT7 receptor antagonist, a 5-HT1A receptor agonist, a 5-HT1B receptor partial agonist, and an inhibitor of the 5-HT transporter in recombinant cell lines.
It has also been found to increase extracellular levels of norepinephrine, dopamine, and acetylcholine in nonclinical studies, report the investigators.
