Rivastigmine Study in Adolescents With Down Syndrome (DS-Riv)

17. marts 2015 opdateret af: Duke University

A 20-Week Double-Blind Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Rivastigmine in Children (Ages 10-18) With Down Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to determine if short term use of rivastigmine can improve functional abilities (for example, language, memory, and executive function) in adolescents with Down syndrome.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

This 24 week, double-blind, placebo controlled trial will be completed at the Clinical Research Unit of Duke University Medical Center and at the Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI). Sixteen evaluable subjects will be enrolled at Duke and 24 evaluable subjects will be enrolled at KKI. The study consists of four visits, a screening visit (-4 weeks), a baseline visit (week 0); a safety visit at week 10, and a final/termination visit at week 20.

The specific aims of this study are to: a) investigate efficacy of rivastigmine tartrate treatment; b) build upon our open-label treatment results of overall function and language improvement in adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial; and c) investigate other specific cognitive domains that may selectively respond to rivastigmine tartrate treatment.

The original IRB-approved protocol included the Parent/Caregiver Rating Form of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales- Second Edition (VABS-II) . The protocol was amended to replace the Parent/Caregiver Rating Form of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales- Second Edition (VABS-II) with the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition, Survey Interview Form. The protocol was also amended to extend the trial from 12 weeks to 20 weeks. Due to the changes in the amended protocol the subject enrolled prior to the IRB amendment will not be included in the data analysis section.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Rivastigmine- Liquid form
At the baseline visit (week 0), the subject will begin rivastigmine treatment at a dose of 0.75 mg bid. This dose will be continued for two weeks and then increased to 1.5 mg bid for an additional eight weeks. At the week 10 safety visit, the dose will be increased to 4.5 mg/day (3.0 mg and 1.5 mg) for an additional 10 weeks. If a subject is unable to tolerate a particular dose, the dose will be lowered to the previously tolerated dose, down to a minimum of 0.75 mg bid. If the subject is unable to tolerate the 0.75 mg bid dose he/she will be dismissed from the study.

At the week 10 safety visit, the dose will be increased to 4.5 mg/day (3.0 mg and 1.5 mg) for an additional 10 weeks. Subjects receiving placebo will maintain the same schedule. If a subject is unable to tolerate a particular dose, the dose will be lowered to the previously tolerated dose, down to a minimum of 0.75 mg bid. If the subject is unable to tolerate the 0.75 mg bid dose he/she will be dismissed from the study.

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (Survey Interview Form)
Tidsramme: Baseline & Study termination (Week 20)
The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (Survey Interview Form) is a measure of adaptive behavior in children, adolescents and adults. It yields an overall standard score (Adaptive Behavior Composite, ABC) and age standard scores in four domains. ABC scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 (range = 20 to 160). Higher scores suggest a higher level of adaptive functioning. In this study, the change between each subject's ABC at Baseline and the Final Visit was computed. A rise in standard scores from Baseline to the Final Visit indicates improvement.

Tidsramme
Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool (BRIEF-P)
Tidsramme: Baseline and Final (Week 20) visit
The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool Version (BRIEF-P) is a parent report measure of executive function behaviors in children in their home setting. It yields an overall score (Global Executive Composite, GEC) that is based on its five clinical scales. Raw scores range from 63 to 189. Higher scores suggest that an individual's executive function skills are more problematic. In this study, the change between each subject's raw score at Baseline and the Final Visit was computed for the Global Executive Composite. A decline in raw scores from Baseline to the Final Visit indicates improvement.
