September 9, 2019 updated by: Tonix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

A Phase 3, Double-Blind, Randomized, Multicenter, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TNX-102 SL Taken Daily at Bedtime in Patients With Military-Related PTSD

This is a 12-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, fixed-dose study that will investigate the efficacy and safety of 5.6 mg TNX-102 SL (2 x 2.8 mg tablets)-a sublingual formulation of cyclobenzaprine. Following successful screening and randomization, eligible patients will have a telephonic visit at week 2 and then return regularly to the study clinic for monthly visits for assessments of efficacy and safety.
