Trial Outcomes & Findings for Analyzing Female Trauma Exposed Responses to a Medication (NCT NCT01814332)

NCT ID: NCT01814332

Last Updated: 2021-06-25

Results Overview

The CAPS is a semi-structured clinical interview providing a measure of the severity of PTSD symptoms. A severity score is calculated by summing the frequency and intensity scores for each of the 17 DSM-IV criteria symptoms. The severity of symptoms is rated on a scale from 0-4, where, 0 = Absent, 1 = Mild/subthreshold; 2 = Moderate/ threshold, 3 = Severe/markedly elevated and 4 = Extreme/ incapacitating. Scores may range from 0 (no symptoms) to 136 (severe symptoms). Change is the difference in scores between baseline and 6 weeks.

Participant Flow

Participants were recruited from Emory University School of Medicine, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, and the San Francisco VA Medical Center between January 2010 and June 2014.

Subjects stopped psychotropic medications (w/ the exception of zolpidem, eszopiclone, and zaleplon for insomnia) w/in 2 weeks (6 weeks for fluoxetine) of Visit 1. Patients on ineffective psychotropic medications tapered off by the patients' prescribing doctor. 150 subjects did not proceed to randomization due to meeting exclusionary criteria.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6

The number of participants that showed at least a 50% reduction in CAPS scores from their baseline visit at the end of 6 weeks were measured as having a response to the treatment. The CAPS is a semi-structured clinical interview providing a measure of the severity of PTSD symptoms. A severity score is calculated by summing the frequency and intensity scores for each of the 17 DSM-IV criteria symptoms. Scores may range from 0 (no symptoms) to 136 (severe symptoms).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 6

The MADRS is a ten-item clinician-administered questionnaire used to measure the severity of depressive symptoms in patients with depressive disorders. Higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. Change is the difference in scores between baseline and 6 weeks.
