Brief summary

This is a single-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy of BRL29060A (paroxetine hydrochloride hydrate, hereafter paroxetine) administered orally over the dose range of 20 mg to 50 mg once daily after supper for 12 weeks in Japanese patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as assessed by the change from baseline in CAPS-SX total score. Also the effect of paroxetine on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) induced by subthreshold emotional arousing (or symptom stimulating) tasks will be determined using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for exploratory assessment of the correlation between the change in rCBF and the efficacy. The sample size is 30 subjects. The study period consists of 4 weeks of run-in phase, 12 weeks of treatment phase, 0-3 weeks of taper phase and follow-up examination at 2 weeks after the last dose, for a total of 18-21 weeks. Subjects will visit the clinic at the start of run-in phase, Week -2, the start of treatment phase, Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12 of treatment, and follow-up examination.

Pre-assignment details

Prior to assignment to the 12-week treatment phase, all participants received placebo in a single-blind manner in a 4-week run-in phase. Participants completing the run-in phase were then randomized to receive either placebo or paroxetine for the remainder of the study. Two participants were withdrawn from the study before randomization.

Number of Participants With the Indicated Change From Baseline in CGI (Clinical Global Impression) Severity of Illness Scores at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12

The participant's status was assessed using the following 8-point scale: 0, Not assessed; 1, Normal, not at all ill; 2, Borderline mentally ill; 3, Mildly ill; 4, Moderately ill; 5, Markedly ill; 6, Severely ill; 7, Among the most extremely ill patients.

Time frame: Baseline and Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): All participants who received at least one dose of study medication for the treatment phase and had at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment. Participants who failed to satisfy major entry criteria measured prior to randomization (e.g., participant with disease other than PTSD) were excluded.

Number of Participants With the Indicated Week 0 and Week 12 Z-scores for Regional Blood Flow Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) in the Left Amygdala (LA), Right Amygdala (RA), and the Medial Prefrontal Cortex (MPFC)

Change in regional blood flow (rCBF) measured by fMRI represents altered neuronal responses in PTSD patients and is considered to be the biomarker for treatment response. fMRI measures are provided as blood oxygeneration level-dependent (BOLD) signals (z-score). To trigger neuronal activation, 2 visual stimuli were used: MVA-task (consisting of MVA-related and unpleasant pictures) and face-task (consisting of a variety of facial expressions \[e.g., neutral, happy, fear\]). Week 0 and 12 rCBF data from 1 participant were invalid (involuntary movement in the fMRI machine); no analysis was done.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): All participants who received at least one dose of study medication for the treatment phase and had at least one post-baseline efficacy assessment. Participants who failed to satisfy major entry criteria measured prior to randomization (e.g., participant with disease other than PTSD) were excluded.
