About this study

Official title: Efectos de un Antagonista/Agonista Inverso Del Receptor CB1 (Rimonabant) Sobre la Capacidad Para la deambulación en Lesionados Medulares Incompletos

This is a placebo controlled study comparing Rimonabant 5 mg per day for 90 days with placebo for the same period. Objective is to improve walking abilities of spinal cord injury individuals (incomplete lesions) and demonstrate that it is a safe treatment in spinal cord injury population.

Read the detailed description

This is a placebo controlled study comparing Rimonabant 5 mg per day for 90 days with placebo for the same period.

Main goal are to test safety and efficacy (impairment of walking abilities teste with the 6 min walking test) of Rimonabant in a specific population (incomplete spinal cord injury).

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse Events (Safety)

    Number of AE

    Measured: 120 days

  2. Biochemical and urine analysis (safety)

    Number of participants with clinically significant abnormal laboratory tests results

    Measured: 120 days

  3. ECG (safety)

    Number of participants with clinically significant abnormal ECG readings

    Measured: 120 days

  4. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) (safety

    Range 0-21(higher values more severe)

    Measured: 120 days

  5. Modified Ashworth Scale (safety)

    Range 0-4 (higher values more severe)

    Measured: 90 days

  6. Penn Scale (safety)

    Range 0-4 (higher values more severe)

    Measured: 90 days

  7. Pain numeric rating scale (safety)

    Range 0-10 (higher values more severe)

    Measured: 90 days

  8. Questionnaire of falls (safety)

    Number of falls

    Measured: 120 days

  9. 6 min walking test (efficacy)

    6 min walking test (meters and number of stops are reported)

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. 10 m test (efficacy)

    Time to walk 10 m (no stops are allowed)

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Borg Scale (efficacy)

    Borg Scale punctuation after 6 min waking test. Range 0-10.

    Measured: 90 days

  3. Motor Score (efficacy)

    Motor Score (ISNCSCI). Range 0-20 (higher values less severe)

    Measured: 90 days

  4. Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) (Efficacy)

    FSS puntuación. Range 0-7 (higher values more severe)

    Measured: 90 days

  5. Patient global impression of changes (PGIC) (efficacy)

    PGIG score. Range 1-7 (higher values indicate worsening)

    Measured: 90 days

  6. European Quality of Life -5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) (efficacy)

    EQ-5D questionnaires have 5 dimensions: "Mobility", "Human Autonomy," "Current Activities", "Pain / Discomfort", "Anxiety / Depression" and all dimensions are described by 3 problem levels corresponding to patient response choices (higher values worst). A quality-of-life score is obtained according to the answers to the questionnaires (algorithm to calculate the score in euroqol.org). The maximum score is 1 that indicates excellent quality of life (range for Spanish version 0.5-1).

    Measured: 90 days

  7. Health state visual analogically scale (efficacy)

    Range 0-100 mm (higher values indicate higher health state )

    Measured: 90 days

  8. Spinal Cord Independence Measures, SCIM (efficacy)

    Range 0-100 (higher values indicate higher independence )

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Rimonabant in people with Spinal Cord Injuries, run by Hospital Nacional de Parapléjicos de Toledo at 1 site in Spain.

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 12 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 21 Nov 2022. 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 Spain. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Antonio Oliviero, MD, PhD (+34925247700 ext. 47120, antonioo@sescam.jccm.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse Events (Safety) (time frame: 120 days). 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 21 Nov 2022.
