Pilot Study of Galantamine to Treat Metabolic Syndrome in People With Chronic Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

28 maj 2026 uppdaterad av: Northwell Health

Pilot Study of Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of Galantamine to Treat Metabolic Syndrome in People With Chronic Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

The purpose of this research study is to measure the tolerability and preliminary efficacy of a drug, galantamine, to treat metabolic syndrome (MetS) by reducing circulating inflammation in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Galantamine is FDA-approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Here, the drug is considered experimental for the purposes of this study.

Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Galantamine ER
All participants (tetraplegia and paraplegia cohorts) receive galantamine hydrobromide extended release (ER) capsules. Aim 1 (Day 1): single 8mg dose administered orally in the laboratory with at least 5 hours of monitored observation. Aim 2 (Weeks 1-12): 8mg once daily for Weeks 1-4, with dose escalation to 16mg (two 8mg capsules) once daily for Weeks 5-12 based on tolerability. Taken orally in the morning with a meal. The two cohorts (tetraplegia and paraplegia) are analyzed separately as pre-specified subgroups.
Läkemedel: Galantamine Hydrobromide Extended Release
Galantamine hydrobromide extended release (ER) capsules, 8mg, administered orally once daily in the morning with a meal. Aim 1: Single 8mg dose in the laboratory with at least 5 hours of observation. Aim 2: 8mg once daily for Weeks 1-4; dose escalated to 16mg once daily (two 8mg capsules) for Weeks 5-12 based on tolerability. If the 16mg dose is not tolerated, the participant returns to 8mg daily. Total treatment duration: 12 weeks.
