Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ropinirole XR in the treatment of adults with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).
The purpose of this study is to see if a medication called prazosin is useful in the treatment of agitation and aggression in persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other types of dementia in late life.
The objective of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of pramipexole (0.125-0.75 mg) orally once daily as compared with placebo for 6 weeks in patients with primary restless legs syndrome (RLS) and to investigate the reliability of the Japanese version of the RLS rating scale by the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG) as a sub-study.
The primary objective is to assess sustained efficacy in patients who have responded to a 6 month treatment with open-label pramipexole. Secondary objectives are the measurement of severity of the RLS, assessment of early withdrawal phenomena after termination of trial medication, augmentation under treatment, sleepiness, quality of life and subjective wellbeing, the physician's clinical assessment of symptom severity and improvement. Another secondary objective is safety and tolerability of treatment.
We intend to conduct a phase III b trial to verify Oxcarbazepine's effect in agitation and aggression in patients with dementia. We designed the study as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi center trial. Hundred patients will be included. The treatment period will be eight weeks, with a further follow up of four weeks. The primary outcome measure will be the reduction in aggression and agitation as measured by means of NPI-NH-subscale agitation / aggression (Neuropsychiatric Inventory, Nursing Home Version). Secondary outcomes are reduction in aggression as measured by BARS (Behavior Agitation Rating Scale)and reduction in the burden to health-care personnel as measured by NPI-NH.
The primary objective of this study is to determine that pramipexole (Sifrol) 0.25 mg to 0.75 mg daily is not inferior to levodopa 100 mg to 300 mg (in combination with benserazide 25mg to 75mg = Madopar DR) daily in the treatment of patients with idiopathic restless legs syndrome fulfilling the International Diagnostic Criteria. The efficacy parameters include an objective measure of the leg movements during the time spent in bed, and a quantitative clinical assessment of the severity of RLS, in the form of the RLS-score. In addition, the efficacy evaluations aim at comparing the impact of pramipexole and levodopa on outcome measures such as quality of life and sleep.
This is a two-period dose rising study of Ropinirole Immediate Release in adolescent patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) in order to determine the starting dose for the ropinirole titration regimen for this age group. Patients will receive two single doses unless poor tolerability is observed following the first dose.
The primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate that rotigotine (SPM 936) is efficacious in subjects with idiopathic restless leg syndrome (RLS). Additional objectives are to investigate the safety and tolerability of rotigotine. The primary variables are the absolute change from Baseline in the International Restless Legs Severity Scale (IRLS) sum score and Clinical Global Impression-Global Improvement (CGI) Item 1 (severity of illness) score at the end of the Maintenance Period. Subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo, 2.25, 4.5 or 6.75 mg/day rotigotine in a 1:1:1:1 (active:placebo) fashion. Approximately 450 subjects will be enrolled in this trial, participating at approximately 50 sites. The maximum duration of the trial is approximately 8 months (3-week Titration Period, 6-month Maintenance Period, 7-day Taper Period, and 30-day Safety Follow-Up Period). Subjects who complete the 6-month Maintenance Period will be eligible to participate in an open-label extension trial. Subjects who do not complete the 6-month Maintenance Period or who choose not to participate in the open-label extension trial will complete a 3-day Safety Follow-Up Period. Two different patch sizes will be used (5 and 10 cm2). Active patches will contain either 2.25mg (5cm2) or 4.5mg (10cm2) of rotigotine.
Subjects who meet the diagnosis of idiopathic restless legs syndrome (RLS) based on the 4 cardinal clinical features according to the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG) are allowed to enroll in this trial. The primary objective of this trial is to demonstrate that rotigotine (SPM 936) is efficacious in subjects with idiopathic restless legs syndrome. Additional objectives are to investigate the safety and tolerability of rotigotine. Subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo, 1.125, 2.25, 4.5, or 6.75mg/day rotigotine in a 1:1:1:1:1 (active:placebo) fashion. Approximately 600 subjects will be enrolled in this trial, participating at approximately 60 sites. The maximum duration of the trial is approximately 8 months (consisting of a 4-week Titration Period, a 6-month Maintenance Period, a 7-day Taper Period, and a 30-day Safety Follow-Up Period).
A 12 week clinical trial was conducted in the United States in order to compare pramipexole (Mirapex®) versus placebo for the ability to reduce the symptoms of restless legs syndrome in adult subjects.
