| NCT00245661 ↗ | Effects of Temazepam in Patients With Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disease | Completed | Rijnstate Hospital | Phase 3 | 2005-10-01 | The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of temazepam during sleep and in daytime on dyspnea, gas exchange and sleep quality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The study hypothesis is that temazepam does not produce any adverse respiratory effects during sleep in patients with COPD. In contrast, it may result in an beneficiary effect because it positively affects the sleep quality and sleep structure which may result in more alertness and less daytime sleepiness and less dyspnea during the day. |
| NCT00330291 ↗ | Xyrem for Treatment Refractory Insomnia Due to PTSD | Withdrawn | State University of New York - Upstate Medical University | Phase 2 | 2005-08-01 | Xyrem (sodium oxybate) is an agent with the propensity to improve slow wave sleep and sleep efficiency. It is FDA approved to treat cataplexy (drop attacks) associated with narcolepsy (sleep attacks). It has been shown to be a safe and effective agent here where deep, restorative slow wave sleep improves and next day cataplexy attacks tend not to occur. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric illness where a patient has witnessed or been involved in a traumatic event. After the event is over, nightmares, flashbacks, avoidance of people and places associated with trauma and hyperarousal occur which is incapacitating to the patient. One major part of PTSD hyperarousal is marked insomnia with multiple awakenings at night. This resultant poor sleep is compounded by use of SSRI serotonergic antianxiety agents (ie Zoloft(sertraline)) as first line therapy which tend to degrade slow wave, restorative sleep. Patients may respond to SSRI treatment but may fail to remit as they continue to have sleep problems. PTSD patients will often fail to respond to antihistamine (Desyrel (trazodone)) and benzodiazepine GABA hypnotic agents (Restoril(temazepam)) and continue with poor, interrupted sleep. It is possible that Xyrem's ability to remarkably improve slow wave sleep may greatly help treatment refractory insomnia due to PTSD. The author proposes an open-label study (no placebo) where 10 PTSD patients, who have failed usual PTSD treatments and have failed usual insomnia treatments in particular will be given Xyrem in addition to their current PTSD medication. The authors wish to determine if Xyrem is a safe treatment optionin this difficult-to-treat patient population. |
| NCT00465972 ↗ | The Treatment of Insomnia in Patients With HIV Disease | Completed | Duke University | Phase 4 | 2007-03-01 | This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of two commonly prescribed sleep aids for use in patients who are HIV positive and suffer from insomnia. |
| NCT00940550 ↗ | Study to Investigate the Effects of Melatonin, Temazepam & Zolpidem on Sleep EEG in Men and Women | Completed | H. Lundbeck A/S | Phase 1 | 2009-07-01 | This study has been designed to compare the effects of melatonin with those of drugs (temazepam and zolpidem) regularly prescribed for the treatment of insomnia, in healthy, middle-aged volunteers. The study will take place at one centre. Volunteers consenting to participate in the study will have their eligibility confirmed by a screening panel, including spending one night in the sleep clinic to acclimatize to the study procedures. Blood and urine samples will be collected during this overnight visit. Volunteers continuing to remain eligible will receive, in turn, melatonin, temazepam, zolpidem and placebo as a single dose during 4 treatment phases lasting one night and separated by at least five days. Neither the volunteer nor the study staff will be aware of which drug each volunteer is receiving at each treatment phase. The volunteer's electrical brain activity will be measured whilst sleeping. Other aspects of sleep, including measures of sleep quality, will also be measured. Urine samples will be collected during each treatment phase. Volunteers will undergo an assessment of health prior to departure from the clinic at their last treatment phase, and study staff will telephone 2 weeks later to obtain further information on their health status. The primary study objective is to compare EEG power spectra during nonREM sleep in the slow-wave frequencies following administration with melatonin to temazepam. |
