Trial ID	Title	Status	Sponsor	Phase	Start Date	Summary
NCT02379156 ↗	Thermoregulation and Cognition During Cool Ambient Exposure in Tetraplegia	Active, not recruiting	The Craig H. Neilsen Foundation	Phase 4	2015-04-01	The ability to maintain normal core body temperature (Tcore = 98.6°F) is impaired in persons with a cervical spinal cord injury (tetraplegia). Despite the known deficits in the ability of persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) to maintain Tcore, and the effects of hypothermia to impair mental function in able-bodied (AB) persons, there has been no work to date addressing these issues in persons with tetraplegia. Primary Aim: To determine if exposure of up to 2 hours to cool temperatures (64°F) causes Tcore to decrease in persons with tetraplegia, and if that decrease is associated with a decrease in cognitive function. Primary Hypotheses: Based on our pilot data: (1) 66% of persons with tetraplegia and none of the matched controls will demonstrate a decline of 1.8°F in Tcore; (2) 80% of persons with tetraplegia and 30% of controls will have a decline of at least one T-score in Stroop Interference scores (a measure of executive function). Secondary Aim: To determine the change in: (1) distal skin temperature, (2) metabolic rate, and (3) thermal sensitivity. Secondary Hypothesis: Persons with tetraplegia will have less of a percent change in average distal skin temperatures and metabolic rate, and report lower thermal sensitivity ratings compared with AB controls. Tertiary Aim: To determine if a 10 mg dose of an approved blood pressure-raising medicine (midodrine hydrochloride) will (1) reduce the decrease in Tcore and (2) prevent or delay the decline in cognitive performance in the group with tetraplegia compared to the exact same procedures performed on the day with no medicine (Visit 1) in that same group. Tertiary Hypothesis: Through administering a one-time dose of midodrine, the medicine-induced decreased blood flow to the skin will lessen the decline in Tcore and prevent or delay the associated decline in cognitive performance compared to the changes in Tcore and cognitive performance during cool temperature exposure without midodrine in the same group with tetraplegia.

Clinical Trials Update: Current Status and Key Data

Summary of Ongoing and Completed Trials

Trial Phase	Number of Trials	Primary Objectives	Sample Size	Status	Key Outcomes
Phase I	3	Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK)	150	Completed	Favorable safety profile; dose-dependent PK.
Phase II	4	Efficacy in RA, psoriasis	600	Ongoing / Pending results	Preliminary efficacy signals observed; adverse events comparable to placebo.
Phase III	2	Confirm efficacy and safety	2,500	Not yet initiated	Anticipated start Q3 2023.

Latest Clinical Data Highlights

• Phase I:
  Conducted across North America and Europe with 150 healthy volunteers. The drug demonstrated excellent safety with no Serious Adverse Events (SAEs). Maximal tolerated dose (MTD) established at 100 mg QD.

• Phase II (RA):
  Enrolled 300 patients across 15 sites internationally. The trial reported a 45% ACR20 response rate at week 12 versus 20% in placebo (p<0.01). Safety profile remained consistent with Phase I, with mild transient elevations in liver enzymes in 3% of patients.

• Phase II (Psoriasis):
  Enrolled 300 patients; significant reduction in PASI scores observed, with 50% achieving PASI75 at week 16. No new safety concerns emerged.
