A Trial Evaluating Effects of COMT Inhibition in Patients With Acquired Brain Injury
A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Effects of Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) Inhibition on Cognition and Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Patients With a History of Acquired Brain Injuries
This is a follow-up study for an ongoing open label trial conducted by the Sheppard Pratt-Lieber Research Institute utilizing the catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) inhibitor Tolcapone to evaluate its effects on cognition and neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with brain injuries (BI).
In this study, investigators will conduct a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial utilizing a crossover design to study the effects of two weeks of Tolcapone 200mg administered three times a day (total of 600mg/day) on cognitive performance. Physical, emotional, cognitive and social functioning will also be evaluated through participant and proxy report. The investigators are planning to randomize a total of 12 patients with a history of acquired brain injury (BI).

Descrizione dettagliata
The proposed study is a follow-up study for an ongoing open label trial conducted by the Sheppard Pratt-Lieber Research Institute utilizing the catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) inhibitor Tolcapone to evaluate its effects on cognition and neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with brain injuries (BI).
The outcome measures utilized in this study were chosen based on the available data from the currently ongoing open-label clinical trial. The proposed study will utilize the same study medication at the same dose and frequency. In addition, the length of administration of study medication (two weeks) is identical. In the proposed study, investigators will conduct a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial utilizing a crossover design to study the effects of two weeks of Tolcapone 200mg administered three times a day (total of 600mg/day) on cognitive performance. Physical, emotional, cognitive and social functioning will be evaluated through participant and proxy report. The investigators are planning to randomize a total of 12 patients with BI.
The cross-over design requires two 2-week long study periods during which the participant receives either Tolcapone two 100mg capsules three times a day (total of 600mg/day) or placebo. Participants will be randomly assigned to two sequence groups either starting with Tolcapone treatment (T-P group) or placebo (P-T group). Investigators and participants will be blind to the study group assignment and hence blind to the treatment (Tolcapone vs. placebo) that subjects receive at a given time. The study periods are separated by a "washout period" that is at least two weeks and maximally 4 weeks long to reduce the potential for carryover effects. Patient reported outcomes will be obtained a total of four times, twice prior to the start of each respective study period (Pre-Study Period Visits I & II) as well as at the end of each study period (Outcome Measures Visits I & II). Cognitive outcome measures will be obtained twice throughout the study, at the end of each respective study period (Outcome Measures Visits I & II).
