Filter by:This is a multicenter, open-label trial to assess safety and tolerability of rotigotine in subjects with idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), administered at an optimal dose for up to 1 year in subjects who previously participated in SP790 (6-month pivotal trial) or SP794 (sleep lab trial). Subjects who successfully completed the Maintenance Period and the Taper Period of SP790 or SP794 are allowed to enroll in this trial.
The purpose of this study is to determine if sequential compression devices (SCD) when worn for an hour per day by patients suffering from Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) are helpful for the improvement of the RLS symptoms and sleep.
This study will test whether botulinum toxin (Botox) may relieve the uncomfortable sensations patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) experience. RLS is a common movement disorder that causes sensory discomfort and restlessness, most often in the legs, which improves with movement. Although medications are available to treat the disorder, many people experience side effects that prevent them from continuing on the medication. The Food and Drug Administration has approved Botox for other movement disorders and for some cosmetic uses. People 18 years of age or older with moderate to severe RLS who have been taking RLS medications for more than 6 weeks before entering the study may be eligible to participate. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical and neurological examinations, blood tests and, for women who can become pregnant, a urine pregnancy test. Participants are randomly assigned to receive injections of either Botox or placebo (salt water) into up to nine areas of the legs. The correct location of the muscles to be injected is determined by electromyography (EMG), a test that measures the electrical activity of muscles. For surface EMG, electrodes (small metal disks) are filled with a conductive gel and taped to the skin. Needle EMG involves inserting a needle into a muscle. Both methods are used in this study. At 2 and 4 weeks after the injections, subjects are interviewed by telephone and asked to describe their symptoms, side effects and any improvement they may have noticed. After 12 weeks they return to NIH for injections with the alternate compound; that is, those who received Botox previously are given placebo for the second set of injections, and vice-versa. Subjects are again contacted by telephone 2 and 4 weeks after the injections to report their symptoms, side effects and benefits.
The primary objective of the current study will be the evaluation of long-term efficacy of a 26-weeks treatment with pramipexole in patients with idiopathic moderate to severe Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in comparison to placebo. The key secondary objectives are to assess the effects on clinical global impressions - global improvement (CGI-I) (based on CGI-I responder rate) and on RLS (based on IRLS responder rate) for 26 weeks under pramipexole in comparison to placebo. Further secondary objectives are to investigate the incidence and severity of augmentation and rebound and to assess the effects on patient global impression (PGI) (based on PGI responder rate), on RLS symptoms (based on the RLS-6 scales), on associated mood disturbance (based on item 10 of the IRLS), on pain in limbs (based on a visual analogue scale (VAS)), on quality of life in RLS (based on Johns Hopkins RLS-QoL), on general quality of life Short Form 36 (SF-36) and on safety (based on adverse events (AE) profile) of pramipexole in comparison to placebo.
This study will investigate the effects of severe renal impairment and hemodialysis on the characteristics of the drug, ropinirole.
This study in RLS patients is designed to assess the affect food has on the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of ropinirole (by dosing some patients in the fasted state and other patients following a high-fat breakfast), and to assess the difference in absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of ropinirole if patients are given two 3mg ropinirole tablets versus one 6mg tablet.
The objective of double blind phase in this trial is to compare the efficacy and safety at the fixed dose of 0.25 mg,0.5 mg and 0.75 mg pramipexole in RLS. The objective of open label phase in this trial is to investigate the long term safety and efficacy of pramipexole in RLS.
The main objective of this phase 2a proof-of-concept trial is to assess the efficacy of rotigotine nasal spray in ascending doses in subjects with idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome.
This trial is a 6-week, double-blind, randomized, active and placebo-controlled parallel-group study with a primary objective of comparison of starting doses of pramipexole fixed-dose (0.25 mg daily) and pramipexole titrated-dose (0.125 mg qd for 1 week, then 0.25 mg qd for the remaining 5 weeks) with placebo to evaluate efficacy and safety in treating RLS symptoms in patients diagnosed with idiopathic RLS. The secondary objectives of this study will be to assess the onset of action of symptomatic relief of RLS for pramipexole with daily assessment of PGI and modified IRLS during two intervals of the first 2 weeks (Days 2, 3 and 4 and Days 9, 10, and 11) and assessment of IRLS, PGI and CGI-I at Weeks 1, 2, 4 and 6 (CGI-I additionally on Day 3).
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ropinirole CR-RLS in the treatment of patients with Restless Legs Syndrome and associated sleep disturbance and period limb movements during sleep.
