  • Blood levels of CCK peptides relative to panic disorder treatment
    Patent number: 5558987
    Abstract: A method of treating a patient having a panic disorder, the patient having an elevated CCK peptide plasma level, by lowering the plasma CCK peptide level of the patient. A further method provides a diagnosis of panic disorder in a patient by detecting if that patient's plasma contains elevated CCK peptide levels. A further method determines the efficacy of the drug for the treatment of panic disorder by detecting the ability of the drug to lower elevated CCK peptide levels in a model for panic disorder. Additionally, a method of dosing a patient having elevated CCK peptide levels with an antipanic disorder drug is characterized by administering the drug to a patient and monitoring the lowering of the elevated plasma CCK peptide levels of the patient.
