Clinical Evaluation of BRL29060A (Paroxetine Hydrochloride Hydrate) in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Clinical Evaluation of BRL29060A (Paroxetine Hydrochloride Hydrate) in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) - A Placebo-controlled, Single-Blind Comparative Study -
This is a single-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy of BRL29060A (paroxetine hydrochloride hydrate, hereafter paroxetine) administered orally over the dose range of 20 mg to 50 mg once daily after supper for 12 weeks in Japanese patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as assessed by the change from baseline in CAPS-SX total score. Also the effect of paroxetine on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) induced by subthreshold emotional arousing (or symptom stimulating) tasks will be determined using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for exploratory assessment of the correlation between the change in rCBF and the efficacy.
The sample size is 30 subjects. The study period consists of 4 weeks of run-in phase, 12 weeks of treatment phase, 0-3 weeks of taper phase and follow-up examination at 2 weeks after the last dose, for a total of 18-21 weeks.
Subjects will visit the clinic at the start of run-in phase, Week -2, the start of treatment phase, Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 of treatment, and follow-up examination.

- Patients with glaucoma
- Patients with a known tendency for bleeding or those with predisposing conditions

- Criteria at Week 0 (start of Treatment Phase):
Subjects whose drug compliance rate for Drug 1 (Run-in Phase placebo) is <80% between Week -4 and Week 0;
Subjects whose CAPS-SX total score of the standard B, C, and D at Week 0 varied by 25% or more compared with those at Week -2

EXPERIMENTAL: paroxetine
Drug 2 (20 mg/day or placebo) will be administered once daily after supper for the first two weeks after the run-in phase.
If the investigator/subinvestigator judges that a sufficient response is achieved, Drug 2 will be continued for the remaining period.
If a sufficient response is not achieved with Drug 2 but treatment is well tolerated, the dose will be titrated to one step higher level until a sufficient response is achieved [i.e., Drug 3 (30 mg/day or placebo) → Drug 4 (40 mg/day or placebo) → Drug 5 (50 m/day or placebo)] at intervals of at least two weeks by once daily administration after supper.
Once a sufficient response is achieved, that dose will be continued.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Participants With the Indicated Change From Baseline in CAPS-SX (Clinician-Administered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Scale One Week Symptom Status Version) Total Score at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12
|
The Clinical-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) is a structured interview for assessing PTSD diagnostic status and symptom severity.
The CAPS assesses both the frequency and intensity of individual PTSD symptoms on separate five-point (0-4) rating scales, and these ratings can be summed to create a nine-point (0-8) severity score for each symptom.
The total CAPS score can range from 0 to 136, with a higher value indicating increased severity.
A minus value for change from baseline indicates an improvement of symptom severity.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Participants With the Indicated Week 0 and Week 12 Z-scores for Regional Blood Flow Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) in the Left Amygdala (LA), Right Amygdala (RA), and the Medial Prefrontal Cortex (MPFC)
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 12
|
Change in regional blood flow (rCBF) measured by fMRI represents altered neuronal responses in PTSD patients and is considered to be the biomarker for treatment response.
fMRI measures are provided as blood oxygeneration level-dependent (BOLD) signals (z-score).
To trigger neuronal activation, 2 visual stimuli were used: MVA-task (consisting of MVA-related and unpleasant pictures) and face-task (consisting of a variety of facial expressions [e.g., neutral, happy, fear]).
Week 0 and 12 rCBF data from 1 participant were invalid (involuntary movement in the fMRI machine); no analysis was done.
