Trial summary

Huntington's disease (HD) is autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease, starting in average (with high variability) in the fourth decade. The disease progression is classically characterized by a cognitive deterioration (cortical-frontal dementia), motor disorders (associating chorea, dystonia and bradykinesia)… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Neuroleptic and Huntington Disease. Comparison of : Olanzapine, la Tetrabenazine and Tiapride. A Multicentric, Randomised, Controlled Study.

Huntington's disease (HD) is autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease, starting in average (with high variability) in the fourth decade. The disease progression is classically characterized by a cognitive deterioration (cortical-frontal dementia), motor disorders (associating chorea, dystonia and bradykinesia), psychiatric disturbances (combining depression and irritability) and metabolic disorder (cachexia). The disease is fatal within 15 to 20 years in most patients. HD has no cure. Neuroleptics are the main drug used and the only to demonstrate its efficacy on chorea in clinical trials. But neuroleptics have also beneficial and adverse effects on other disease characteristics (motor, psychiatric, cognitive or metabolic). Their profile between beneficial and adverse effects could be different according the neuroleptics and their classification. The aim of this study is to compare beneficial and adverse effects of 3 different neuroleptics in HD.

Read the detailed description

We proposed a randomized controlled trial, including 180 patients, in 3 groups: Olanzapine, Tetrabenazine and Tiapride, followed during 12 months. These treatments have been selected according their profile and their frequency of use.

The principal criteria is the Independence scale, one of the functional scales of the Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale, the only validated scale in HD.

Secondary criteria will assess motor,functional, psychiatric and cognitive functions, metabolic parameters, tolerance and cost.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Olanzapine, Xenazine and Tiapridal in people with Huntington Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the Independence scale (time frame: at 12 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jan 2018.
