What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
The Mean Change From Baseline (Visit 2) in the Total CAPS-5 Score After 12 Weeks of Treatment Evaluated at Visit 9 (Week 12).
Time frame: Day 1, Week 12
The mean change from baseline (Visit 2) in the Total CAPS-5 score after 12 weeks of treatment evaluated at Visit 9 (Week 12). The primary efficacy comparison will be the change from baseline in total CAPS-5 score for the 2.8 mg treatment arm compared to placebo. CAPS-5 score ranges from 0-80 with lower scores indicating less severe PTSD symptoms.
Sponsor's own description
