6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions and varying lengths of time, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect rates observed in practice.

The most commonly observed adverse reactions in vilazodone hydrochloride-treated patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) in placebo-controlled studies (incidence ≥5% and at least twice the rate of placebo) were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and insomnia.

Patient Exposure The safety of vilazodone hydrochloride was evaluated in 3,007 patients (18 to 70 years of age) diagnosed with MDD who participated in clinical studies, representing 676 patient-years of exposure.

In an open-label 52 week study at 40 mg daily, 599 patients were exposed to vilazodone hydrochloride for a total of 348 patient-years.

The adverse reaction information presented below was derived from studies of vilazodone hydrochloride 20 mg and 40 mg daily in patients with MDD including: Four placebo-controlled 8 to 10-week studies in 2,233 patients, including 1,266 vilazodone hydrochloride-treated patients; and An open-label 52-week study of 599 vilazodone hydrochloride-treated patients.

These studies included a titration period of 10 mg daily for 7 days, followed by 20 mg daily for 7 days or to 40 mg daily over 2 weeks.

In these clinical trials, vilazodone hydrochloride was administered with food.

Adverse reactions reported as reasons for discontinuation of treatment In these studies, 7.3% of the vilazodone hydrochloride-treated patients discontinued treatment due to an adverse reaction, compared with 3.5% of placebo-treated patients.

The most common adverse reaction leading to discontinuation in at least 1% of the vilazodone hydrochloride-treated patients in the placebo-controlled studies was nausea (1.4%).

Common adverse reactions in placebo-controlled MDD studies Table 2 shows the incidence of common adverse reactions occurring in ≥2% of vilazodone hydrochloride-treated patients and greater than the rate of placebo-treated patients in MDD Studies.

There were no dose-related adverse reactions between 20 mg and 40 mg reported.

Reactions are categorized by body system according to the following definitions: frequent adverse reactions are those occurring in at least 1/100 patients; infrequent adverse reactions are those occurring in 1/100 to 1/1000 patients; rare reactions are those occurring in fewer than 1/1000 patients: Cardiac disorders: infrequent : ventricular extrasystoles Eye disorders: infrequent : dry eye, vision blurred, rare: cataracts Nervous System: frequent : sedation, tremor; infrequent: migraine Psychiatric disorders: infrequent : panic attack Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: infrequent: hyperhidrosis, night sweats 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of vilazodone hydrochloride.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Reports of adverse reactions temporally associated with vilazodone hydrochloride that have been received since market introduction and that are not listed above include the following: General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: irritability Nervous System Disorders: sleep paralysis Psychiatric Disorders: hallucinations, suicide attempt, suicidal ideation Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: rash, generalized rash, urticaria, drug eruption Gastrointestinal System: acute pancreatitis Respiratory, Thoracic and Mediastinal Disorders: anosmia, hyposmia
