What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
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.
Day 1, Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Patients' Quality of Sleep Using the PROMIS Sleep Disturbance Scale After 12 Weeks of Treatment
Time Frame: Day 1, Week 12
Change from baseline in patients' quality of sleep using the PROMIS (Patient -Reported Outcome Measurement Information System) Sleep Disturbance scale after 12 weeks of treatment comparing the 2.8 mg treatment arm to placebo. Raw scores are converted to T-scores using published conversion tables. Sleep Disturbance T-score ranges from 28.9 to 76.5. Lower scores indicate less sleep disturbance
Day 1, Week 12
Clinician Global Impression - Improvement Scale Responder Rate at Week 12
Time Frame: Week 12
Responder rates in CGI-I (Clinician Global Impression - Improvement Scale) after 12 weeks of treatment comparing the 2.8 mg treatment arm to placebo. Responder rate is defined as the number of patients scored as either a 1 or 2 on CGI-I at Week 12. The score ranges from 1 to 7 with the following anchors for each score:1=Very much improved, 2=Much improved, 3=Minimally improved, 4=No change, 5=Minimally worse, 6=Much worse, 7=Very much worse
Week 12
Mean Change From Baseline in Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) Total Score
Time Frame: Day 1, Week 12
Mean Change from Baseline in SDS Total Score at Week 12. Score ranges from 0 to 30. A score of 0 means the patient is unimpaired, and a score of 30 means the patient is highly impaired.
Day 1, Week 12
