Vortioxetine has a multimodal action that combines receptor activity and reuptake inhibition, leading to modulation of neurotransmission in several systems1-3
Vortioxetine Mechanism of Action
aIn the forebrain; the precise contribution of the individual targets to the observed pharmacodynamic profile remains unclear and caution should be applied when extrapolating animal data directly to man GABA=gamma-aminobutyric acid; 5-HT=serotonin; SERT=serotonin transporter

Vortioxetine and Weight Gain
Short-term treatment: •In randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, active referenced, studies of vortioxetine (5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg and 20 mg/day) in adults with MDD, there were no clinically relevant weight changes over time or differences between treatment groups1-4
•In a study in elderly patients with MDD, the changes in weight associated with vortioxetine were at placebo level5
Long-term treatment: •In the double-blind period of a relapse-prevention study in MDD, the mean weight increase for vortioxetine was 0.4 kg and for placebo 0.6 kg6

Definitions
• Cognitive Functioning – Broad measure – Conscious activity – Integration of Sensory Input and Memory – Purposeful and goal-oriented (Output)
• In Psychiatry: Similarly Broad • In MDD
– Execution and completion of mental tasks. • DSM: Difficulty Concentrating and Making Decisions.
– Perception and processing of affect.
www.mghcme.org
Components
• Immediate Memory • Delayed Memory • Attention • Cognitive Speed • Executive Functioning
Papakostas GI. J Clin Psychiatry. 2014 and 2015.
www.mghcme.org
Executive Functioning
– Engaging in meaningful goal-directed behavior – Task focused. – Requires
• Being able to harness motivational input – Positive affect, i.e. wanting something, anticipating enjoyment.
• Being able to ignore negative affective stimuli – More linked to fight or flight type behaviors than organized planned action.
• Being able to ignore neutral and irrelevant (to the task) stimuli
– The “Maestro”. – Medial and Lateral Prefrontal cortex. – Gateway to restoration of psychosocial functioning

Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST)
• Widely used instrument of cognitive performance as part of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)
• Participants match symbols with a corresponding number based on a 9-digit coding table
• Score is based on the number of symbols correctly coded in 90 seconds; higher scores indicate a better performance
• Measure of global cognitive functioning heavily weighed on executive functioning (set shifting, response inhibition).

Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT)
• Participants are given a list of 15 unrelated words, read aloud by the examiner or audio recording, and asked to recall as many as they can
• Then asked to repeat words after a period of time • Measures immediate recall, verbal learning, and
memory • Score is equal to the total number of words
recalled

Cognitive Functioning in Younger MDD Patients
• Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess
cognitive function in MDD Primary objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of acute (8 weeks’) treatment with fixed-dose
vortioxetine 10 mg/day and 20 mg/day versus placebo on cognitive function and depressive symptoms, in adults (18–65 years) with recurrent moderate-to-severe MDD
• Primary efficacy endpoint: –Change from baseline in cognitive function composite z-score for
vortioxetine versus placebo at Week 8
Composite z-score=weighted sum of the z-scores for DSST, RAVLT acquisition, and RAVLT delayed recall DSST=Digit Symbol Substitution Test; MMRM=mixed model for repeated measures; RAVLT=Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test
