Vilazodone (United States trade name Viibryd) is a serotonergic antidepressant developed by Clinical Data for the treatment of major depressive disorder. The chemical compound was originally developed by Merck KGaA (Germany).[3] By 2009 two phase III clinical trials with positive results had been completed.[4] Vilazodone was approved by the FDA for use in the United States to treat major depressive disorder on January 21, 2011.[5][6][7]

Pharmacology

Vilazodone acts as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (IC50 = 2.1 nM; Ki = 0.1 nM) and 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist (IC50 = 0.2 nM; IA = ~60–70%).[8][9] It has negligible affinity for other serotonin receptors such as 5-HT1D, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT2C.[8][9]

It also exhibits negligible inhibitory activity at the norepinephrine and dopamine transporters (IC50 = 56 nM for NET and 37 nM for DAT).[10]

Partial agonism of the 5-HT1A receptor is a relatively novel mechanism of action and is also shared by the anxiolytic buspirone (Buspar), atypical antipsychotic aripiprazole (Abilify) and novel antidepressant vortioxetine (Brintellix). Mirtazapine (Remeron) also acts as partial 5-HT1A agonist, though its action is indirect.

Efficacy and tolerability

Vilazodone is approved in 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg doses.

According to two eight-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in adults, vilazodone was reported to elicit an antidepressant response after one week of treatment. After eight weeks, subjects assigned to vilazodone 40mg daily dose (titrated over 2 weeks) experienced a significantly higher response rate than the group given placebo (44% vs 30%, P = .002). But, remission rates for vilazodone were not significantly different versus placebo. [11][12] After a 1 year, open-label study assessing the safety and tolerability of vilazodone in patients with major depressive disorder, the most common adverse effects were diarrhea (35.7%), nausea (31.6%), and headache (20.0%); greater than 90% of these adverse effects were mild or moderate.[13] In contrast to other SSRIs currently on the market, initial clinical trials showed that vilazodone did not cause significant weight gain or decreased sexual desire/function as with many other antidepressants, which often cause people to abandon their use.[5]

However, FDA staff called these claims into question in a September 2011 article that concluded "it is unknown whether [vilazodone] has any advantages compared to other drugs in the antidepressant class." [14]
