Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of memantine in the treatment of pediatric patients with autism, Asperger's Disorder or Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS).


Clinical Trial Description

This clinical study was a 48-week, multicenter, multinational, open-label extension study in pediatric outpatients with autism, Asperger's Disorder, or PDD-NOS conducted at 106 study centers. Patients were eligible for this long-term extension study if they had:

- completed the open-label Study MEM MD 67,or

- completed the open-label Study MEM-MD-91, or

- completed the double-blind Study MEM-MD-68, or

- discontinued study MEM-MD-68 by meeting requirements for loss of therapeutic response

The weight-based dose limits in this study were as follows:

Group A: ≥ 60 kg; maximum 15 mg/day Group B: 40-59 kg; maximum 9 mg/day Group C: 20-39 kg; maximum 6 mg/day Group D: < 20 kg; maximum 3 mg/day

The decision to close the study early was based on data from 2 double-blind placebo-controlled studies (MEM-MD-57A and MEM-MD-68) that failed to demonstrate a statistically significant difference between memantine and placebo in the primary efficacy parameter based on Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) total raw score. ;
