About this study

Official title: Placebo-Controlled Trial With GlyTI-M Among Children With ADHD

Although psychostimulant is the first line of drug to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, (ADHD), actually there are 10-20% ADHD patient do not response well to current medication. Most of parents of children with ADHD in Taiwan dislike to use psychostimulant. We expect that GlyTI-M will have better efficacy than placebo to reduce ADHD symptoms. This study will also help us to understand the mechanism of ADHD and give a way to develop new drug and also a more possible way to treat ADHD children under 6 years old.

Read the detailed description

The accumulated neuro-image, hereditary and animal studies showed the correlation between glutamate transport dysfunction and ADHD psychopathology. However, there is limited clinical trial to testify the effect of modulating the NMDA receptor function of glutamate to treat ADHD.

GlyTI-M is an endogenous Glycine transporter I inhibitor, and it acts on the glutamatergic synapse to modulate the neurotransmission of N-Methyl-D-Aspertate (NMDA) receptor. This study aims to explore the effect of GlyTI-M among children with ADHD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GlyTI-M in people with ADHD, run by Mackay Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 16 Jul 2013. 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 Taiwan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham, version IV scale (SNAP-IV-C) (time frame: 1. Change from Baseline in inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity , oppositional defiant disorder score of SNAP-IV-C at 0, 2, 4, 6week). 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 16 Jul 2013.
