EMA draft guideline consultation
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has recently published a Draft Guideline on clinical investigation of medicinal products in the treatment of depression.
This document should be considered as general guidance on the development for medicinal products for acute and long-term treatment of major depression. Its main focus is on unipolar major depressive episodes. Despite many approved antidepressants there is still a need for new medicinal products with better efficacy (e.g. faster onset of action, higher rates of response and remission) and improved safety profile in patients with major depressive episodes.
The document is available for consultation by clicking HERE.
