Edivoxetine (INN; code name LY-2216684) is a drug which acts as a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and was under development by Eli Lilly for attention-deficit disorder (ADD) and as an antidepressant treatment.{{cite journal | author = Jun Yan | title = Pipeline for new antidepressants flowing slowly |newspaper= Psychiatric News | volume = 47 | issue = 5 | page = 1b–29 |date=March 2012 |via= American Psychiatric Association | doi = 10.1176/pn.47.5.psychnews_47_5_1-b| url = http://dsm.psychiatryonline.org/newsarticle.aspx?articleid=1032188 | access-date = 2012-04-27| url-access = subscription }}{{cite press release | title = Statement on a nonproprietary name adopted by the USAN council - Edivoxetine | publisher = American Medical Association | year = 2012 | url = http://www.ama-assn.org/resources/doc/usan/edivoxetine.pdf | access-date = 2012-04-12}} It was in phase III clinical trials in 2012 for major depressive disorder, but failed to get approval.{{cite journal | author = Chancellor D | title = The depression market | journal = Nature Reviews.

Effectiveness

In a study published in 2010, edivoxetine succeeded to prove superiority over placebo, as measured by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. However, effectiveness could be observed using the Self-Rated Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology.{{cite journal |vauthors=Dubé S, Dellva MA, Jones M, Kielbasa W, Padich R, Saha A, Rao P | title = A study of the effects of LY2216684, a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, in the treatment of major depression | journal = Journal of Psychiatric Research | volume = 44 | issue = 6 | pages = 356–363 |date=April 2010 | pmid = 19909980 | doi = 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2009.09.013}}

In a study published in 2011, using the Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale and the Sheehan Disability Scale, edivoxetine showed superiority over placebo, with higher response and remission rates.{{cite journal |vauthors=Pangallo P, Dellva MA, D'Souza DN, Essink B, Russell J, Goldberger C | title = A randomized, double-blind study comparing LY2216684 and placebo in the treatment of major depressive disorder | journal = Journal of Psychiatric Research | volume = 45 | issue = 6 | pages = 748–755 |date=June 2011 | pmid = 21511276 | doi = 10.1016/j.jpsychires.2011.03.014}}

In December 2013, Eli Lilly announced that the clinical development of edivoxetine will be stopped due to lack of efficacy compared to SSRI alone in three separate clinical trials.{{Cite web|url=https://investor.lilly.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=811751|title = Lilly Announces Edivoxetine Did Not Meet Primary Endpoint of Phase III Clinical Studies as Add-On Therapy for Major Depressive Disorder | Eli Lilly and Company}}
