Summary

This study tests a fast-dissolving film (BXCL501) given in the emergency room after a car accident to see if it can reduce acute stress symptoms and prevent long-term PTSD. About 100 adults who come to the ER within 72 hours of a crash will receive either the drug or a placebo, plus a 2-week supply to take at home. Researchers will track stress levels, thinking skills, and side effects over time.
