losartan and Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic

losartan has been researched along with Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic in 5 studies

Losartan: An antagonist of ANGIOTENSIN TYPE 1 RECEPTOR with antihypertensive activity due to the reduced pressor effect of ANGIOTENSIN II.
losartan : A biphenylyltetrazole where a 1,1'-biphenyl group is attached at the 5-position and has an additional trisubstituted imidazol-1-ylmethyl group at the 4'-position

Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic: A class of traumatic stress disorders with symptoms that last more than one month.

"With an animal model of PTSD and the selective angiotensin receptor type 1 (AT1) antagonist losartan, we investigated the acute and long-term effects of AT1 receptor inhibition on fear memory and baseline anxiety."1.40Angiotensin type 1 receptor inhibition enhances the extinction of fear memory.

Trial Outcomes

Change in CAPS-5 Associated With CC Homozygosity for rs4311 SNP in the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Gene (ACE) Compared to T Carriers, Among Subjects Randomized to Losartan.

The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) as used here has 20 items, each scored 0-4, to yield a score with a possible range of 0-80. Higher scores mean worse outcome. (NCT02709018)
Timeframe: 10 weeks

Interventionscore on a scale (Mean)
CC Homozygotes on Losartan16.7
T Carriers on Losartan15.8

The Primary Outcome for This Study is Mean Change in Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) Over the Treatment Period of 10 Weeks Between the Losartan Arm and the Placebo Arm.

"Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 also known as CAPS-5 is the gold standard in PTSD assessment. The CAPS-5 is a 30-item structured interview that can be used to, make current (past month) diagnosis of PTSD, make a lifetime diagnosis of PTSD and assess PTSD symptoms over the past week.~The CAPS-5 as used here has 20 items, each scored 0-4, to yield a score with a possible range of 0-80. Higher scores mean worse outcome." (NCT02709018)
