Study Summary

This Phase 2 proof-of-concept study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, 15-week investigation of ganaxolone versus placebo for the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Up to 120 participants will be enrolled and randomized to receive either ganaxolone or placebo for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks of randomized treatment all participants will continue for 6 weeks on ganaxolone. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of ganaxolone compared to placebo for the treatment of PTSD symptoms after 6 weeks of treatment using the Clinician-Administered PTSD Rating Scale (CAPS). The second aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ganaxolone in the PTSD population.

Primary Outcome

The CAPS was a structured interview that queries participants about each of the 17 Diagnostic and Statistical manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV) criteria B, C, and D symptoms of PTSD. Each item has a frequency score (0-4) and intensity score (0-4). The CAPS total score is the sum of frequency and intensity ratings for each item and the score range was 0: no symptoms to 136: severe symptoms. Higher score indicates worse symptoms. Baseline was defined as the Day 0 assessment before study drug
