Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT00781326 ↗ Effectiveness of Nimodipine Plus Antidepressant Medication in Treating Vascular Depression Terminated National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Phase 4 2008-08-01 This study will examine whether combined use of an antidepressant medication and the medication nimodipine reduces risk of depression relapse in patients with vascular depression.
NCT00781326 ↗ Effectiveness of Nimodipine Plus Antidepressant Medication in Treating Vascular Depression Terminated University of Pittsburgh Phase 4 2008-08-01 This study will examine whether combined use of an antidepressant medication and the medication nimodipine reduces risk of depression relapse in patients with vascular depression.
NCT01551368 ↗ Use of a Calcium Channel Blocker to Prevent Premature Luteinizing Hormone Surges in Infertility Patients Terminated Mount Sinai Hospital, Canada Phase 2 2012-12-01 Nimodipine (NimotopĀ® Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation), unlike other calcium channel blockers is fat soluble and therefore is able to cross the blood-brain barrier1. Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons are clustered in the hypothalamus and are dependent on calcium flux to release GnRH responsible for the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary. In a natural menstrual cycle a spontaneous LH surge occurs mid-cycle which triggers ovulation. The investigators hypothesized that nimodipine, by blocking calcium channels, may effectively suppress the release of GnRH and consequently the natural LH surge. In this prospective double-blinded randomized study the investigators will evaluate the efficacy of nimodipine to inhibit the natural LH surge in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). Nimodipine, if successful, may represent an inexpensive oral medication as an alternative to the currently used GnRH agonists or GnRH antagonists in assisted reproductive technologies like IVF.
NCT01672801 ↗ Nimodipine to Prevent LH Surge During Ovulation Induction: Blinded Placebo-controlled RCT Completed Village Fertility Pharmacy N/A 2012-09-01 The main purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of nimodipine in preventing a luteinizing hormone (LH) surge in women undergoing ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate. It is important to prevent the premature LH surge in controlled ovarian stimulation to allow adequate recruitment of follicles, proper maturation of a dominant follicle before ovulation, and effectively time insemination with semen to allow fertilization of a mature egg to occur. The investigators are also conducting this study to determine medication side effect profile (including lightheadedness or dizziness from low blood pressure or rapid heart rate, headache, and nausea), patient treatment compliance, and clinical pregnancy (positive pregnancy test and ultrasound evidence of fetal heart rate). Finally, LH and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) serum levels will be measured to determine effect of nimodipine on these hormones. As a calcium channel blocker, nimodipine has been shown to block calcium mediated release of gonadotropin releasing hormone in animal and preliminary human studies. The investigators hypothesize that nimodipine, a calcium channel blocker, will prevent or delay the LH surge during controlled ovarian stimulation cycles using clomiphene citrate in subfertile patients undergoing assisted reproduction with intrauterine insemination (IUI).
