NCT00346853 ↗ | Phase 1 Pilot Study of 4-MP to Treat Stargardt Macular Dystrophy | Completed | University of Utah | Phase 1 | 2005-11-01 | The purpose of this study is to investigate whether taking 4-methylpyrazole (4-MP, fomepizole, Antizolâ„¢) inhibits dark adaptation of the eye. In other words, we are testing if 4-MP slows the processing of vitamin A derivatives in the eye. By slowing down these processes, individuals with Stargardt disease may have better chances of saving their remaining vision. 4-MP has been shown to slow dark adaptation in animals, and is FDA approved for human use to treat individuals with methanol or ethylene glycol (antifreeze) poisoning by shutting down the body's ability to process alcohols. This medication has an excellent safety profile and has been reported to have no short-term or long-term side effects, as long as patients refrain from any alcohol while the medication is in the body. A single dose of 4-MP remains in the body for about 12 hours, and therefore, it may inhibit dark adaptation of your eyes for up to 12 hours. Studying the effects of 4-MP may lead to effective medical treatment to save Stargardt patients' vision, and may also have similar effects in other macular degenerative diseases. |
NCT00661141 ↗ | Phase IIa Study of Fomepizole for Acetaldehyde Toxicity After Ethanol Exposure in Subjects With Altered Ethanol Metabolism | Completed | Ted Daley, President | Phase 2 | 2008-04-01 | This trial will evaluate if fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole) can treat symptoms associated with alcohol intolerance due to aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) deficiency, an inherited metabolic disorder. These symptoms include flushing, nausea, headache, shortness of breath and dizziness, resulting from exposure to acetaldehyde, the primary metabolite of ethanol. Long-term, serious health risks have been associated with repeated exposure to acetaldehyde, a carcinogen, among ALDH2-deficient individuals. |
NCT00661141 ↗ | Phase IIa Study of Fomepizole for Acetaldehyde Toxicity After Ethanol Exposure in Subjects With Altered Ethanol Metabolism | Completed | Horizon Pharma USA, Inc. | Phase 2 | 2008-04-01 | This trial will evaluate if fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole) can treat symptoms associated with alcohol intolerance due to aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) deficiency, an inherited metabolic disorder. These symptoms include flushing, nausea, headache, shortness of breath and dizziness, resulting from exposure to acetaldehyde, the primary metabolite of ethanol. Long-term, serious health risks have been associated with repeated exposure to acetaldehyde, a carcinogen, among ALDH2-deficient individuals. |
NCT00661141 ↗ | Phase IIa Study of Fomepizole for Acetaldehyde Toxicity After Ethanol Exposure in Subjects With Altered Ethanol Metabolism | Completed | Raptor Pharmaceuticals Inc. | Phase 2 | 2008-04-01 | This trial will evaluate if fomepizole (4-methylpyrazole) can treat symptoms associated with alcohol intolerance due to aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) deficiency, an inherited metabolic disorder. These symptoms include flushing, nausea, headache, shortness of breath and dizziness, resulting from exposure to acetaldehyde, the primary metabolite of ethanol. Long-term, serious health risks have been associated with repeated exposure to acetaldehyde, a carcinogen, among ALDH2-deficient individuals. |
NCT02415712 ↗ | Specified Drug-use Survey of Fomepizole Intravenous Infusion (All-case Surveillance) | Recruiting | Takeda | 2015-01-27 | The objective of this survey is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fomepizole intravenous infusion in Japanese patients with ethylene glycol and methanol poisonings in daily medical practice. | |
NCT03878693 ↗ | 4-methylpyrazole and Acetaminophen Metabolism | Completed | University of Arizona | Early Phase 1 | 2018-07-01 | Oxidative metabolism of APAP will be studied with and without 4-MP. |
NCT05517668 ↗ | Evaluation of the Efficacy of Fomepizole in the Treatment of Acetaminophen Overdose | Not yet recruiting | Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc., McNeil Consumer Healthcare Division | Phase 2 | 2022-09-01 | This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled double-blinded clinical trial of patients presenting with acetaminophen poisoning who are at increased risk of developing liver injury. With this trial the investigators are hoping to show the superiority of acetylcysteine (NAC) + fomepizole (4-MP) compared to treatment with acetylcysteine alone. The primary objective of this trial is to determine the effect of fomepizole on the severity of acute liver injury in patients with acetaminophen poisoning. |
