Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a severe and common psychiatric disorder. Although MDD primarily involves mood disturbances, patients also usually present alterations in cognitive function (attention, memory, executive functioning and psychomotor speed). Even though antidepressants are suggested in the literature to potentially improve cognitive dysfunction in patients with MDD to some degree, there is a lack of adequate and well-controlled studies to investigate this effect. This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of a new antidepressant Vortioxetine versus placebo on cognitive dysfunction in adult patients with MDD.

| Change From Baseline to Week 8 in DSST (Number of Correct Symbols) and RAVLT (Acquisition and Delayed Recall) Using the Composite Z-score Defined as the Weighted Sum of the Individual Patient Z-scores | DSST assesses psychomotor speed of performance requiring visual perception, spatial decision-making, and motor skills. It consists of 133 digits and requires the patient to substitute each digit with a simple symbol in a 90-s period. Each correct symbol is counted, and the total score ranges from 0 (< normal functioning) to 133 (> normal functioning). RAVLT assesses verbal learning and memory, including immediate memory, efficiency of learning, retroactive and proactive interference effects, and encoding versus retrieval. It consists of a number of tasks, including immediate recall and delayed recall. The number of words correctly recalled on each task is recorded. The scores are standardized by subtracting the overall mean change from baseline from the individual change from baseline and dividing by the standard deviation estimate of the change from baseline. The 2 tests, DSST and RAVLT are each assigned a weight of 0.5, the 2 subtests of RAVLT are each assigned a weight of 0.25. | Baseline and Week 8 |

| Change From Baseline to Week 8 in the TMT A (Speed of Processing) | Trail Making Test (TMT) is a cognitive test designed to assess scanning, visuomotor tracking, executive function, and cognitive flexibility. It consists of two parts, A and B: the patient must draw lines to connect consecutively numbered circles (part A) and then connect consecutively numbered and lettered circles alternating between the two sequences (part B). The time taken to complete the two parts is recorded. Part A assesses cognitive processing speed. The lower the score the faster the processing speed. | Baseline and Week 8 |
| Change From Baseline to Week 8 in the TMT B (Executive Function) | TMT is a cognitive test designed to assess scanning, visuomotor tracking, executive function, and cognitive flexibility. It consists of two parts, A and B: the patient must draw lines to connect consecutively numbered circles (part A) and then connect consecutively numbered and lettered circles alternating between the two sequences (part B). The time taken to complete the two parts is recorded. Part B examines executive functioning and ability to shift cognitive set. The lower the score the faster the ability to shift cognitive set. | Baseline and Week 8 |
| Change From Baseline to Week 8 in Congruent STROOP Time to Complete (Executive Function) | Stroop Colour Naming Test (STROOP) is a cognitive test designed to assess the ability to inhibit a prepotent response to reading words while performing a task that requires attention control. It comprises two sheets with 50 words on each, and each word is the name of a colour. On the first sheet, the Congruent STROOP Sheet, the word and ink colour match; on the Incongruent STROOP Sheet, the word and ink colour do not match. For each sheet, the patient has 4 minutes to name the ink colour of each word. When the patient finishes the sheet, or once 4 minutes is up, the clinician notes the time taken and counts the number of correct and incorrect responses. The scale ranges from 0-100, the higher score the greater the cognitive flexibility. | Baseline and Week 8 |

| Change From Baseline to Week 8 in MADRS Total Score | The Montgomery Ã…sberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a depression rating scale consisting of 10 items, each rated 0 (no symptom) to 6 (severe symptom). The 10 items represent the core symptoms of depressive illness. The rating should be based on a clinical interview with the patient, moving from broadly phrased questions about symptoms to more detailed ones, which allow a precise rating of severity, covering the last 7 days. Total score from 0 to 60. The higher the score, the more severe. | Baseline and Week 8 |
| Change From Baseline to Week 8 in CGI-S Score | The Clinical Global Impression - Severity of Illness (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale rated from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). The investigator should use his/her total clinical experience with this patient population to judge how mentally ill the patient is at the time of rating. | Baseline and Week 8 |
| Clinical Status Using CGI-I Score at Week 8 | The Clinical Global Impression - Global Improvement (CGI-I) is a 7-point scale rated from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). The investigator rated the patient's overall improvement relative to baseline, whether or not, in the opinion of the investigator, this was entirely due to the drug treatment. | Week 8 |
