Trial ID	Title	Status	Sponsor	Phase	Start Date	Summary
NCT00000115	Randomized Trial of Acetazolamide for Uveitis-Associated Cystoid Macular Edema	Completed	National Eye Institute (NEI)	Phase 2	1990-12-01	To test the efficacy of acetazolamide for the treatment of uveitis-associated cystoid macular edema.
NCT00004802	Phase III Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Dichlorphenamide for Periodic Paralyses and Associated Sodium Channel Disorders	Completed	Ohio State University	Phase 3	1992-06-01	OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the efficacy of dichlorphenamide in the treatment of episodic weakness attacks in patients with hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, paramyotonia congenita with periodic paralysis, and hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
NCT00004802	Phase III Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Dichlorphenamide for Periodic Paralyses and Associated Sodium Channel Disorders	Completed	National Center for Research Resources (NCRR)	Phase 3	1992-06-01	OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the efficacy of dichlorphenamide in the treatment of episodic weakness attacks in patients with hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, paramyotonia congenita with periodic paralysis, and hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
NCT00108602	Sleep Apnea: Mechanism and Cerebrovascular Consequences	Withdrawn	VA Office of Research and Development	N/A	2007-05-01	This study will determine the effect of ventilatory stimulation on obstructive sleep apnea in selected patients with stroke. We will select a subset of patients with stroke in the prior 3 months who are most likely to have ventilatory instability as a cause of the upper airway obstruction as indicated by the absence of obesity, an abnormal hypocapnic apnea threshold and resolution of obstructive apnea during CO2 administration. Following baseline polysomnography, patients will be randomly assigned to acetazolamide (250 mg hs [at bedtime]) versus placebo for 7 days. Polysomnography will be repeated and then subjects will cross-over therapies for another 7 days followed by a final nocturnal polysomnography.
NCT00222534	Acetazolamide for Respiratory Failure in Combination With Metabolic Alkalosis	Completed	University of Oslo School of Pharmacy	Phase 4	2002-01-01	Respiratory failure is a common consequence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A concurrent metabolic alkalosis may worsen the respiratory failure, as a higher pH in blood (and thus in cerebrospinal fluid) results in a weaker respiratory drive. Use of diuretics is the most common cause of metabolic alkalosis. When a patient with an acute exacerbation of a respiratory failure is also alkalotic, there are (at least theoretical) reasons to lower the pH in order to increase the respiratory drive. Among other alternatives, the drug acetazolamide can be used for this purpose. In some hospitals there is a tradition for the use of acetazolamide on this indication, but any evidence for the effect of such a treatment is rather weak. Thus, the aim of this trial is to evaluate the effect of acetazolamide as an adjuvant treatment for hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of respiratory failure in combination with metabolic alkalosis.
