Drug Toxicity Psychotropic Agents Psychostimulants Clinical Trial
Official title:
Phase 2, Multiple-Site, Open-Label, Randomized, 2-Group, Parallel Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Ryanodex(R) (EGL-4101)as Adjuvant Treatment in Subjects With Psychostimulant Drug-Induced Toxicity (PDIT)
Ryanodex is being investigated as a potential adjuvant treatment for people suffering from psychostimulant drug-induced toxicity (PDIT), a life-threatening medical condition that results mainly from the abuse of certain illicit drugs, most notably methamphetamine, and related forms (MDMC or "Molly"; MDMA or "Ecstasy"). Ryanodex is approved for the treatment of malignant hyperthermia in conjunction with appropriate supportive measures and for prevention of malignant hyperthermia in patients at high risk and in this study, will be investigated for the treatment of PDIT. The hypothesis of this study is that administration of Ryanodex as adjuvant treatment to Standard of Care (SOC) will improve the clinical outcome compared with SOC alone, in subjects with psychostimulant drug induced toxicity. Current SOC is defined as body cooling and supportive measures.
This study will be conducted at pre-hospital emergency care (PHEC) facilities. The PHECs are medical units that are fully equipped and staffed to provide adequate emergency medical care to patients with PDIT. The study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ryanodex in an on0site pre-hospital emergency setting where subjects are anticipated to be treated over a short period of time and then transferred to another medical facility or released. After screening and diagnosis of PDIT, SOC treatment will be initiated. Subjects eligible for the study will be randomized to either receive SOC + Ryanodex or to receive SOC only. Study subjects are expected to remain at the study site for a maximum of 6 hours post-baseline. ;
