2006 analysis
2006 analysis
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has requested data from antidepressant manufacturers for an analysis of adult suicidality data from short-term placebo-controlled trials. GSK elected to conduct an analysis of its own data from short- and long-term placebo-controlled paroxetine trials in adults, building upon what was done in previous analyses and the developing expertise in the field.
Please find below the descriptions of and links to documents related to the 2006 analysis.
