Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT00593957 ↗ Trial of Dextromethorphan in Rett Syndrome Terminated Hugo W. Moser Research Institute at Kennedy Krieger, Inc. Phase 2 2004-08-01 Increased brain glutamate and its N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors found in the brain of younger Rett syndrome (RTT) patients cause toxic damage to neurons (the brain's nerve cells), and contributing to EEG spikes. Dextromethorphan (DM) acts by blocking NMDA/glutamate receptors. This study is being done to determine if DM will prevent the harmful over-stimulation of the neurons thereby reducing EEG spike activity. Treatment with DM consists of one of 3 different doses (0.25 mg/kg per day; or 2.5 mg/kg/day; or 5mg/kg/day), and aims to find out which dose if any will help improve EEG abnormalities, behavior, cognition, and reduce seizures, as well as improve breathing abnormalities, motor capabilities, bone density, and GI dysfunction. The study will include 90 females and males with RTT, 2 years-14.99 years of age, with a mutation in the methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene, and spikes on EEG, with or without clinical seizures.
NCT01441102 ↗ Dextromethorphan for Diabetic Macular Edema Completed The Emmes Company, LLC Phase 1/Phase 2 2011-08-01 Background: Many people with diabetes have macular edema (swelling) at the back of the eye. Macular edema can cause loss of vision. Studies suggest that inflammation may be involved in the swelling. A drug called dextromethorphan may help prevent the inflammation and the swelling. Dextromethorphan is approved for use as a cough medicine, but it has not been studied to see if it can help in diabetic macular edema. Objectives: To see if dextromethorphan can help treat diabetic macular edema. Eligibility: Individuals at least 18 years of age who have diabetic macular edema in at least one eye. Design: - This study lasts 2 years, and will require at least 14 visits to the National Eye Institute outpatient clinic. Study visits will be every month for the first 2 months and then every other month. Each visit will take about 2 to 4 hours. - Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, eye exam, and blood tests. One eye with macular edema will be chosen as the study eye for testing. - Participants will take dextromethorphan twice a day, about 12 hours apart, for 2 years. A study diary will help keep track of the date, time, and number of pills taken. - Participants will have study visits once a month for the first 2 months and then every other month for the rest of the study. Each study visit will involve eye exams and blood and urine tests. - Four months after starting the study medication, participants may have laser surgery or other treatments for the macular edema, if it is needed.
