Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder – Unmet Need – Unmet Need – Moderate to Severe PTSD (US/EU)
Although multiple guidelines recommend treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with psychotherapy first, such an approach does not suffice for many patients, necessitating the use of pharmacological agents. The need for drug treatment is especially true for moderate and severe cases. Pharmacologic options for PTSD are limited; only two agents are FDA-approved, and others are used off-label. Lykos Therapeutics’ MDMA-assisted psychotherapy has been submitted for FDA approval, and Otsuka and Lundbeck reported positive Phase 2 and 3 results for Rexulti in combination with sertraline, suggesting that there may be new options for PTSD management. Our content examines the key drivers of clinical decision-making in moderate to severe PTSD and prescriber perceptions of available treatments, enabling the identification of opportunities within the moderate to severe PTSD therapy market.
