Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate multiple potential pharmacotherapeutic interventions for PTSD utilizing an adaptive platform trial design. Intervention C - Daridorexant will assess the safety and efficacy of daridorexant in participants with PTSD. Please see NCT05422612 for information on the S-21-02 Master Protocol.
Detailed description
The general structure of this Adaptive Platform Trial (APT) consists of a 30-day Screening Period, a 12-week Platform Treatment Period, and a 4-week Safety Follow-up. The S-21-02 Platform Trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of multiple investigational products for the treatment of PTSD (see NCT05422612 for Master Protocol information). Participants are randomized among the multiple cohorts in the study and the resulting randomization enables sharing/pooling of control subjects, where all interventions may be compared to a common control (placebo). This record only includes information relevant to the daridorexant cohort. Once a participant meets all eligibility criteria for the Master Protocol, eligibility for each currently enrolling intervention cohort is assessed. Eligible participants will be randomized with equal probability into a cohort. Participants randomized to the daridorexant cohort are then randomly assigned to receive either daridorexant or placebo (in a ratio of 5:3; intervention:placebo), for the duration of the 12-week treatment period. Parties interested in having their intervention considered for testing within the M-PACT should contact partners@gcaresearch.org
Interventions
Daridorexant will be administered 50 mg once daily at least 2 hours after the last meal and within 30 minutes of going to bed.
A matching placebo will be administered at 50 mg daily in the same regimen as the intervention.

Masking description
The overall 2-stage randomization scheme will be implemented by an unblinded statistician who is otherwise uninvolved in study operations. Participants will be assigned a study number at Screening (Subject ID). In the first stage of randomization, eligible participants who complete screening will be randomly assigned to an open platform cohort for which they are eligible (both site PIs and participants are aware of the cohort assignment) and, within that cohort, the second stage of randomization is to intervention vs placebo (double-blind) using Interactive Response Technology (IRT). For this APT, participant assignment to a cohort will not be blinded. The tablets/capsules used in the cohorts may not be visually similar between cohorts and blinding to cohort assignment is not necessary to avoid bias. However, within each cohort, participants, site personnel, contract research personnel and the sponsor will be blind to treatment assignment (intervention vs. placebo).
Intervention model description
Daridorexant is one of multiple interventions that will be tested in this adaptive platform trial (NCT05422612).

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute change in the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale-5-Revised (CAPS-5-R) Past Month total score at Week 12 (Final/Early termination Visit). | 12 Weeks | A change in PTSD symptom severity from baseline as measured by CAPS-5-R Past Month. The range of the scale is 0-200. The higher the score at baseline, the worse the PTSD severity. The larger the decrease in score from baseline, the better the outcome. |
| Incidence of new or worsening suicidal thoughts or behaviors as measured by change in Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) score from baseline. | 12 Weeks | The C-SSRS is an assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior in clinical and research settings. The C-SSRS consists of 16 questions that ask about suicidal ideation and behaviors (the first 10 questions comprise the ideation subscale and the last 6 comprise the behavior subscale). This 5-item subscale ranges from a minimum of 0 (corresponding to no suicidal ideation) to a maximum of 5 (representing active suicidal ideation with plan and intent). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). | 12 Weeks | The TEAEs recorded during the study will be summarized by system organ class, preferred term, and treatment group. Adverse events and medical history will be coded using the most current version of MedDRA. |
| Severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). | 12 Weeks | The TEAEs recorded during the study will be summarized by system organ class, preferred term, and treatment group. Adverse events and medical history will be coded using the most current version of MedDRA. |
| Frequency of serious adverse events (SAEs) | 12 Weeks | The SAEs recorded during the study will be summarized by system organ class, preferred term, and treatment group. Adverse events and medical history will be coded using the most current version of MedDRA |
| Severity of serious adverse events (SAEs). | 12 Weeks | The SAEs recorded during the study will be summarized by system organ class, preferred term, and treatment group. Adverse events and medical history will be coded using the most current version of MedDRA |
| Relative change from Baseline to Week 12 in CAPS-5-R, Past Month total score. | 12 Weeks | A relative change in PTSD symptom severity from baseline as measured by the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 Revised (CAPS-5-R) Past Month. The range of the scale is 0-200. The higher the score at baseline, the worse the PTSD severity. The larger the decrease in score from baseline, the better the outcome. |
| Number of participants with a Response Rate ≥30% | 12 Weeks | ≥30% reduction from Baseline to 12 Weeks in the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 Revised (CAPS-5-R), Past Month total score. The range of the scale is 0-200. The higher the score, the worse the PTSD severity. The larger the decrease in score from baseline, the better the outcome. |
| Number of participants with a Response Rate ≥50% | 12 Weeks | ≥50% reduction from Baseline to 12 Weeks in the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 Revised (CAPS-5-R), Past Month total score. The range of the scale is 0-200. The higher the score, the worse the PTSD severity. The larger the decrease in score from baseline, the better the outcome. |
| Number of participants Achieving Remission. | 12 Weeks | Achieving remission: defined as the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 Revised (CAPS-5-R), Past Month total score \<18. The range of the scale is 0-200. The higher the score, the worse the PTSD severity. |
| Relative and absolute change from Baseline in Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 Revised (CAPS-5-R), Past Month total score at Weeks 4 and 8 | 8 Weeks | A relative change in PTSD symptom severity from baseline as measured by CAPS-5-R Past Month. The range of the scale is 0-200. The higher the score at baseline, the worse the PTSD severity. The larger the decrease in score from baseline, the better the outcome. |
| Absolute change from Baseline at each post-Baseline Visit in questionnaires | Week 4, Week 6, Week 8, Week 12, and Week 16, when questionnaires are completed. | Generalized anxiety disorder screener (GAD-7) Timeline follow back (TLFB) for substance use Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) Brief Inventory of Psychosocial Functioning (B-IPF) An abbreviated version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-100 quality of life assessment (WHOQOL-BREF) Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Insomnia Daytime Symptoms and Impacts Questionnaire (IDSIQ) (mean average IDSIQ scores for 7-days prior to Weeks 4, 8, and 12) |
