Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 6 to 50 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Study population: Smith-Magenis patients

Who may be able to join

  • A confirmed clinical diagnosis of SMS with a prior positive genetic test result as indicated by a parent/guardian
  • Informed consent from the patient or the legal guardian/assent provided by the individual with SMS, when possible
  • Male or female between the ages of 6-50 years of age
  • History of sleep disturbances
  • Willing and able to comply with study requirements and restrictions

Who cannot join

  • Failure to confirm diagnosis of SMS by molecular cytogenetic methods and/or DNA-based mutation analysis of the RAI1 gene
  • Totally blind with no light perception
  • Institutionalized or living in an assisted living facility
  • Unwilling or unable to follow medication restrictions (medications that affect sleep or melatonin secretion) or unwilling or unable to sufficiently wash-out from use of a restricted medication
  • Any medical condition, as determined by the clinical investigator that would make it unsafe for blood draws (e.g., anemia, blood clotting disorders, anxiety, etc.)
  • Any other sound medical reason as determined by the clinical investigator

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Smith Magenis Syndrome, run by Vanda Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in United States.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Mar 2016. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Circadian melatonin rhythm as measured by plasma melatonin (time frame: 36-hour blood sampling on week 1). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Mar 2016.
