Randomized Study of 3,4-Diaminopyridine for Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome

Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Clinical Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of 3,4-diaminopyridine (DAP) in the treatment of patients with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS).

II. Determine the side-effects and benefits associated with DAP.

Clinical Trial Description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study. Patients are randomized to receive 3,4-diaminopyridine (DAP) or placebo orally 3 times daily for 5 days, after which treatment is discontinued and patients are observed for at least 24 hours.
