E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the ability of the Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitor PF-04457845 to potentiate extinction of trauma memories in women with co-morbid PTSD and AD. Two hypotheses will be evaluated: That FAAH inhibition will reduce PTSD symptom severity; and that reduction in PTSD symptom severity will be associated with reduction in heavy drinking. |
Att undersöka om inhibering av fettsyraamidohydrolas (FAAH) kan förstärka utsläckningen av traumatiska minnen hos kvinnor med posttraumatiskt stressyndrom och samtidigt alkoholberoende. De hypoteser som skall testas är 1) huruvida en integrerad form av KBT med exponering och samtidig behandling av alkoholberoende (COPE), som försärks med FAAH-hämmaren PF-04457845 reducerar PTSD-symptomen jämfört med COPE plus placebo, samt 2) om reduktionen av PTSD-symptom är associerad med färre dagar med hög alkoholkonsumtion. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary and exploratory objective will be to evaluate whether
1. PF-04457845 will decrease biomarkers of alcohol consumption
2. PF-04457845 will decrease measures of stress
3. Patient baseline characteristics, including genotype at loci within genes encoding elements of the EC system, interact with FAAH blockade to influence treatment outcomes. |
Studera om:
1) PF-04457845 påverkar biomarkörer för alkoholkonsumtion
2) PF-04457845 minskar stress
3) Patientkarakteristika, inklusive genotyp vid loci inom gener som kodar för delar av EC-systemet, interagerar med FAAH-blockad och påverkar behandlingsresultatet. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |

2) Current DSM-IV psychotic, as determined by SCID, and clinical examination by a psychiatrist.
3) Clinically significant suicidal or homicidal ideation on clinical assessment with the relevant section of The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) and clinical examination by a psychiatrist.
4) Any current medication or medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator could interfere with treatment.
5) Pregnancy or nursing. To be eligible, women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test prior to the start of study drug, and agree to use a method of contraception that is adequate in the judgment of the investigator for the duration of the study.
6) Insufficient memory of the trauma (for prolonged exposure to be effective).
7) Dissociative disorder which is more severe or affects the subject more than her PTSD. |
1) Aktuellt drogberoende enligt DSM-IV annat än nikotinberoende
2) Aktuell obehandlad eller ej stabilt behandlad psykossjukdom
3) Kliniskt signifikanta suicidtankar
4) Pågående nödvändig medicinering, som bedöms kunna påverka studieresultatet eller interagera med det läkemedel som testas
5) Somatisk sjukdom som bedöms kunna interagera med behandlingen/medicineringen
6) Pågående graviditet eller amning. De kvinnor som rekryteras måste gå med på att använda preventivmedel under den period studien pågår
7) Otillräckligt minne av traumat
8) Dissociation som är svårare och påverkar patienter mer än PTSD-symptomen. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The CAPS-DX will be the primary outcome to determine PTSD symptom severity. CAPS-DX is a structured interview that corresponds to the DSM-IV criteria for PTSD, and a Swedish translation has been validated.
Alcohol use ,alcohol consumption per week (grams per week) and heavy drinking days (HDD) derived from Timeline Follow back (TLFB). |
PTSD-symptomens svårighetsgrad mäts med CAPS-DX. CAPS-DX är en strukturerad intervju som motsvarar DSM-IV-kriterierna för PTSD, och en svensk översättning har validerats.
Alkohol, alkoholkonsumtion per vecka (gram per vecka) och tunga dryckesdagar (HDD) som härrör från en så kallad alkonacka, Timeline Follow back (TLFB). |

Förändringar från baslinjemätningen jämfört med efter den avslutande 12:e COPE-sessionen samt tre månader efter avslutad behandling. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary and exploratory objective will be to evaluate whether
1. PF-04457845 will decrease biomarkers of alcohol consumption (gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), phosphatidylethanol (PEth), carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT), and ethylglucuronide (EtG))
2. PF-04457845 will decrease measures of stress, indexed as cortisol in hair.
3. Patient baseline characteristics, including genotype at loci within genes encoding elements of the EC system, interact with FAAH blockade to influence treatment outcomes. |
