NCT05260541

Brief Summary

This trial is comprised of a 4-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period followed by an optional 8-week open-label extension (OLE) period. This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral PRAX-114 flexibly dosed at 40 to 60 mg for 4 weeks compared to placebo in adults with PTSD. The OLE period consisting of treatment with 40 mg PRAX-114 for 8 weeks will provide additional efficacy and safety data.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) total score at Day 29

    The CAPS-5 is a clinician-rated PTSD rating scale consisting of 30 items; the total score is calculated as the sum of 20 items assessing the 20 DSM-5 PTSD symptoms. These symptom items are scored on a 5-point scale from 0 (absent) to 4 (extreme/incapacitating). The total score of the 20 items ranges from 0 to 80 with higher scores indicating more severe PTSD symptoms. Therefore, a decrease in the total score indicates symptom improvement.

    29 days

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Change from baseline in the CAPS-5 total score at Day 15 and 43

    15 days and 43 days

  • Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score at Day 29, Day 15, and Day 43

    15 days, 29 days, and 43 days

  • Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) score at Day 29, Day 15, and Day 43

    15 days, 29 days, and 43 days

  • Change from baseline in the CAPS-5 symptom cluster scores at Day 29, Day 15, and Day 43

    15 days, 29 days, and 43 days

  • Change from baseline in the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) at Day 29, Day 15, and all other timepoints
