About this study

Official title: Action of the Amantadine on Post Stroke Aphasic Patients' Language and Communication

The objective of the study is to test the action of the amantadine, as DOPA-agonist, in a double blind cross-over trial, amantadine / placebo, on the verbal fluency of chronic post stroke aphasic patients.

Read the detailed description

In France, there are around 30000 aphasic patients. The actual taking care of these patients after stroke includes the treatment of acute stage in stroke unit, followed by rehabilitation program. However, most non fluent aphasic patients remain chronically handicapped despite of intensive logopedic training.

The objective of this clinical project is to test the action of pharmacologic agents on verbal fluency of aphasic patients victims of cerebral infarctions. Only a few studies have been done with various pharmacologic agents, and although the results were not clearly conclusive, they were sufficiently positive for suggesting to launch a well controlled randomized cross-over study.

Then the objective of study is to test the action of the amantadine, as DOPA-agonist, in a double blind cross-over trial, amantadine / placebo, on the verbal fluency of chronic post stroke aphasic patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Confirm that the possibility of significantly improving the verbal fluency and communication of patients with "not fluent" aphasia at the chronic stage when logopedic rehabilitation is "stabilized" (> 6months).

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Codify a drug test to be included in the" recommendations "to take care of these patients

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Establish correlations between clinical, neuroradiological lesions and pharmacological responses, as to argue in favour of long-term treatment

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Identify extra linguistic components of communication influenced by amantadine

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Amantadin in people with Cerebral Infarction, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 6 sites 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 8 inclusion and 9 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 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Confirm that the possibility of significantly improving the verbal fluency and communication of patients with "not fluent" aphasia at the chronic stage when logopedic rehabilitation is "stabilized" (> 6months). (time frame: 2 years). 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 Apr 2014.
