Working Memory Clinical Trial
Official title:
Randomized Placebo-controlled Phase II Cross-over Study on the Influence of Fampridine on Working Memory in Individuals With Post COVID-19 Condition With Subjective Cognitive Impairment
In genome-wide association studies we identified potassium channels to be genetically linked to performance and neural activity of working memory in healthy humans. Furthermore, there is evidence in rodents and non-human primates that pharmacological blockade of potassium channels can improve working memory. In the present study, we aim at investigating the effects of 10 mg fampridine (4-Aminopyridine), a potassium channel-blocking agent, on working memory performance in individuals with Post-COVID-19-Condition with subjective cognitive impairment. The hypothesis is that fampridine improves working memory performance. Fampridine, especially its slow-release formulation (Fampyra®) is generally a safe drug with well-studied pharmacokinetic properties. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and reaches maximum concentration in the brain approximately 3.5h after single-dose administration. Evidence suggests that fampridine improves walking speed in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), which led to FDA and EMA approval for this indication. The mode of action by which fampridine improves walking speed is probably its blockade of a spectrum of potassium channels that are exposed in demyelinated axons, leading to mitigation of potassium leakage and normalization of nerve conduction. Additionally, an action of fampridine at central synapses and increase of neurotransmitter release has been discussed.
