Overview
Brief Summary
This trial is comprised of a 4-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period followed by an optional 8-week open-label extension (OLE) period.
This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral PRAX-114 flexibly dosed at 40 to 60 mg for 4 weeks compared to placebo in adults with PTSD. The OLE period consisting of treatment with 40 mg PRAX-114 for 8 weeks will provide additional efficacy and safety data.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from baseline in the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) total score at Day 29
Time Frame: 29 days
The CAPS-5 is a clinician-rated PTSD rating scale consisting of 30 items; the total score is calculated as the sum of 20 items assessing the 20 DSM-5 PTSD symptoms. These symptom items are scored on a 5-point scale from 0 (absent) to 4 (extreme/incapacitating). The total score of the 20 items ranges from 0 to 80 with higher scores indicating more severe PTSD symptoms. Therefore, a decrease in the total score indicates symptom improvement.
Secondary Outcomes
- Patient Global Impression-Improvement (PGI-I) score at Day 29, Day 15 and all other time points(8 days, 15 days, 22 days, 29 days, 35 days, and 43 days)
- Change from baseline in the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) at Day 29, Day 15, and all other timepoints(8 days, 15 days, 22 days, 29 days, 35 days, and 43 days)
- Change from baseline in the CAPS-5 total score at Day 15 and 43(15 days and 43 days)
- Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score at Day 29, Day 15, and Day 43(15 days, 29 days, and 43 days)
- Change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) score at Day 29, Day 15, and Day 43(15 days, 29 days, and 43 days)
- Change from baseline in the CAPS-5 symptom cluster scores at Day 29, Day 15, and Day 43(15 days, 29 days, and 43 days)
- Change from baseline in the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) at Day 29, Day 15, and all other timepoints(8 days, 15 days, 22 days, 29 days, 35 days, and 43 days)
