About this study

Official title: Effect of Goserelin (Zoladex®) in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy in Thai Patients

This is a therapeutic trial study to demonstrate whether Goserelin, a LHRH agonist has benefit in SBMA

Objective:

  1. To study effects of Goserelin to clinical course of patients with spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy in Thailand
  2. To demonstrate physiological and pathological changes in treated patients with Goserelin.
  3. To assess tolerability and adverse effect of Goserelin therapy
Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GoserelinDrug

    Also called Zoladex LA

    Goserelin 10.8 mg SC every 3 months

  • Electrophysiologic studyProcedure or surgery

    Also called NCV, EMG

    Nerve conduction study Electromyogram

  • tissue biopsyProcedure or surgery

    skin and muscle biopsy before and after treatment every year

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. muscle power

    Measured: every 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. electrophysiologic study (Nerve conduction and Electromyogram)

    Measured: every 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Goserelin, Electrophysiologic study and tissue biopsy in people with Spinobulbar Muscular Atrophy and Kennedy's Disease, run by Ramathibodi Hospital at 1 site in Thailand.

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 12 inclusion and 5 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 21 May 2015. 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 Thailand. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

muscle power (time frame: every 3 months). 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 21 May 2015.
