|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00066248 ↗ | Cyproheptadine and Megestrol in Preventing Weight Loss in Children With Cachexia Caused By Cancer or Cancer Treatment | Completed | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | Phase 2 | 2003-06-01 | RATIONALE: Cyproheptadine and megestrol may improve appetite and help prevent weight loss in children with cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well cyproheptadine and megestrol work in improving appetite and preventing weight loss in children with cachexia caused by cancer or cancer treatment. |
| NCT00066248 ↗ | Cyproheptadine and Megestrol in Preventing Weight Loss in Children With Cachexia Caused By Cancer or Cancer Treatment | Completed | University of South Florida | Phase 2 | 2003-06-01 | RATIONALE: Cyproheptadine and megestrol may improve appetite and help prevent weight loss in children with cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well cyproheptadine and megestrol work in improving appetite and preventing weight loss in children with cachexia caused by cancer or cancer treatment. |
| NCT01675050 ↗ | A Placebo-controlled Crossover Trial Using Cyproheptadine To Treat Children With Functional Abdominal Pain | Terminated | University of Michigan | Phase 2 | 2012-08-01 | The investigators hypothesize that using Cyproheptadine in a placebo-controlled crossover trial would help relieve abdominal pain associated with (Functional Abdominal Pain (FAP) in children, achieving a greater response than that observed with placebo. In addition to assessing self-report of pain and other symptoms, the investigators also propose to perform experimental somatic pain testing to determine if there is evidence of peripherally-maintained central sensitization in children with FAP. The investigators also hypothesize that there will be an increase in somatic pain threshold after completion of a Cyproheptadine course compared to baseline testing prior to treatment, and compared to placebo. This would allow children with FAP to return to normal function, improve symptoms and overall general well-being |
| NCT01788969 ↗ | Serotonergic Modulation of Motor Function in Subacute and Chronic SCI | Unknown status | Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago | Phase 1 | 2005-06-01 | The manifestation of weakness and involuntary reflexes following motor incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) may be partly a result of damage to descending pathways to the spinal cord that release serotonin. In models of SCI, for example, application of agents that simulate serotonin has been shown to modulate voluntary motor behaviors, including augmentation of walking recovery. In humans following neurological injury, the effects of 5HT agents are unclear. Few previous reports indicate improved motor function following administration of agents which enhance the available serotonin in the brain, although some data suggests that decreased serotonin may be beneficial. In this application, the investigators propose to study the effects of clinically used agents that increase or decrease intrinsic serotonin activity in the brain on strength and walking ability following human motor incomplete SCI. Using detailed electrophysiological recordings, and biomechanical and behavioral measures, the investigators will determine the effects of acute or chronic doses of these drugs on voluntary and involuntary motor behaviors during static and dynamic conditions. The novelty of this proposed research is the expectation that agents that enhance serotonin activity may increase abnormal reflexes in SCI, but simultaneously facilitate motor and walking recovery. Despite potential improvements in voluntary function, the use of pharmacological agents that may enhance spastic motor behaviors following SCI is in marked contrast to the way in which drugs are typically used in the clinical setting. |

| NCT01940978 ↗ | A Study of Combination Therapy in Children With ADHD | Completed | Douglas Sears | Phase 4 | 2014-03-01 | Lack of appetite and weight loss are a common side effect of ADHD therapy with amphetamines such as methylphenidate. Lack of sufficient food intake has been shown to have negative effects on weight and height as well as learning and memory. There is no current treatment to prevent this loss of appetite except discontinuation or reduction of the methylphenidate. Discontinuation or reduction of the drug can cause the return of ADHD symptoms. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of two doses of a drug, cyproheptadine, vs placebo to find out if cyproheptadine prevents the appetite suppression associated with methylphenidate. |
