Well, I'd love to tell you that the Paxil study in children that was carried out in Japan was deemed a failure. Truth is, I don't know and Glaxo, it appears, remain to be tight lipped over this particular study.
A few days ago I wrote how they [GSK] had promised to get back to me regarding my query of the outcome of the NCT00812812 clinical trial, "Paxil Japanese Post Marketing Paediatric Study in Depression (Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Study)"
Remarkably the Clinical Trials webpage has now been updated regarding this trial...no conclusion though.
The study was completed back in February this year [2011].
Glaxo wrote me this morning with the following:
Thank you for contacting the GSK Clinical Support Helpdesk.
Unfortunately conclusion can’t be disclosed before the official CTR is released.
Adding in a further email:
The expected official release was planned to be October.
Thanks for clearing that up.
I wrote back asking if Paxil was currently recommended for use in children between the ages of 7-17 in Japan?
No reply.
