研究概览
简要总结
In this study, we propose to employ a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, outpatient clinical trial to test the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a 160 mg and 40 mg challenge of the mGlu2/3 agonist pomaglumetad methionil relative to placebo in modulating fear-potentiated startle response and behavior in adults with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (N=30). Each participant will receive a single dose of the study drug (40 mg vs 160 mg vs placebo in a 1:1:1 ratio).

- •Current suicidality defined by emergent Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (CSSRS)-defined suicidal behavior, a suicidal ideation score of 5 (indicating active suicidal ideation with specific plan and some level of intent) or 4 (indicating active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan) on the CSSRS or in the absence of a CSSRS suicidal ideation score of 5 or 4 or CSSRS-defined suicidal behavior, if the investigator determines the patient to have a significant short-term risk for a suicide attempt.

主要结局
To Evaluate the Effect of 160mg and 40mg of Pomaglumetad Methionil
时间窗: 6 months
To evaluate the effect of 160mg and 40mg challenge of the mGlu2/3 receptor agonist pomaglumetad methionil relative to placebo in mitigating fear-potentiated startle using the neutral-predictable-unpredictable fear-potentiated startle paradigm in adults with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The primary index of unpredictable fear will be the difference score between startle magnitude in safe and unpredictable conditions in the absence of the cue.
