Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy

Primary objective
To determine the effect of internasal OXT (24 IU twice daily) compared to placebo for 28 (+/- 2) days on:
▪ Change in anxiety levels assessed with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Trait-Anxiety Scale, STAI-T)
▪ Change in correct recognition of facial & body expressions assessed upon the EmBody/EmFace Task
We hypothesize that the decrease in anxiety and/or increase in correct classification of facial & body expressions will be greater in the OXT group than in the placebo group.

Secondary objectives 7

  1. Emotion recognition and empathy
  2. Hormonal and subjective response to psychological stress
  3. Amygdala and subjective response in the functional MRI scan
  4. Other psychological measures
  5. Metabolic parameters
  6. Objective assessment of a third person
  7. Safety measure
