All Clinical Trials for Sodium Oxybate
| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00049803 ↗ | Safety and Efficacy of Xyrem Oral Solution (Sodium Oxybate) Compared With Placebo in Narcoleptic Patients | Completed | Orphan Medical | Phase 3 | 2000-12-01 | The initial portion of the protocol involves discontinuing any medications for cataplexy that the patient may be taking. Subsequently, the patient is prescribed a dose of oral solution of study drug or placebo over a 10-11 week period. During the trial, narcolepsy symptoms will be evaluated. Participants are allowed to continue using stimulant medications at constant doses during the study. A total of 1 to 3 daytime visits in addition to 4 overnight visits to the sleep center will be required to complete the study. |
| NCT00066170 ↗ | Trial Comparing Effects of Xyrem Taken Orally and Modafinil With Placebo in Treating Daytime Sleepiness in Narcolepsy | Completed | Jazz Pharmaceuticals | Phase 3 | 2003-04-01 | This study will be conducted as a randomized, double blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial in patients diagnosed with narcolepsy. Volunteers for this trial will be required to make 5 visits over up to 14 weeks to a participating expert physician practitioner for various sleep and narcolepsy evaluations and diaries will also be collected. Participants will take assigned medications during the course of the trial. Subjects will have a 25% probability of receiving placebo for both drugs (modafinil and Xyrem). All subject volunteers must meet criteria for narcolepsy and have evidence of daytime sleepiness. Patients will not incur any personal medical expenses due to participation in this trial. The sponsor is covering all visit costs not covered by insurance and there are some funds for patient expenses such as travel. |
| NCT00086281 ↗ | Trial of Effects of Oral Xyrem and Zolpidem on Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients | Completed | Jazz Pharmaceuticals | Phase 4 | 2003-11-01 | To study the effect of Xyrem (9 g), Xyrem (9 g) plus modafinil 200 mg administered the morning prior to Xyrem, positive control (zolpidem 10 mg), and placebo on the frequency and outcome of events of sleep-disordered breathing in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). |
| NCT00087555 ↗ | Trial Comparing the Effects of Xyrem (Sodium Oxybate) With Placebo for the Treatment of Fibromyalgia | Completed | Jazz Pharmaceuticals | Phase 2 | 2004-07-01 | The purpose of this study is to determine whether Xyrem (sodium oxybate) is effective when used alone to treat the pain and sleep disturbances of fibromyalgia. |
| NCT00132873 ↗ | Trial of Xyrem® (Sodium Oxybate) for the Treatment of Narcolepsy | Completed | Jazz Pharmaceuticals | Phase 3 | 2004-10-01 | This is a long-term, open-label, extension of the OMC-SXB-7 trial. Participants from the OMC-SXB-7 open-label trial may be entered without any requirement as to length of participation in that trial. Approximately 70 patients are expected to participate at up to 6 investigative centers located in Canada. The trial will continue for up to 24 months or until marketing approval, whichever occurs sooner. |
| NCT00330291 ↗ | Xyrem for Treatment Refractory Insomnia Due to PTSD | Withdrawn | State University of New York - Upstate Medical University | Phase 2 | 2005-08-01 | Xyrem (sodium oxybate) is an agent with the propensity to improve slow wave sleep and sleep efficiency. It is FDA approved to treat cataplexy (drop attacks) associated with narcolepsy (sleep attacks). It has been shown to be a safe and effective agent here where deep, restorative slow wave sleep improves and next day cataplexy attacks tend not to occur. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric illness where a patient has witnessed or been involved in a traumatic event. After the event is over, nightmares, flashbacks, avoidance of people and places associated with trauma and hyperarousal occur which is incapacitating to the patient. One major part of PTSD hyperarousal is marked insomnia with multiple awakenings at night. This resultant poor sleep is compounded by use of SSRI serotonergic antianxiety agents (ie Zoloft(sertraline)) as first line therapy which tend to degrade slow wave, restorative sleep. Patients may respond to SSRI treatment but may fail to remit as they continue to have sleep problems. PTSD patients will often fail to respond to antihistamine (Desyrel (trazodone)) and benzodiazepine GABA hypnotic agents (Restoril(temazepam)) and continue with poor, interrupted sleep. It is possible that Xyrem's ability to remarkably improve slow wave sleep may greatly help treatment refractory insomnia due to PTSD. The author proposes an open-label study (no placebo) where 10 PTSD patients, who have failed usual PTSD treatments and have failed usual insomnia treatments in particular will be given Xyrem in addition to their current PTSD medication. The authors wish to determine if Xyrem is a safe treatment optionin this difficult-to-treat patient population. |
| NCT00345800 ↗ | Exploratory Clinical Study to Evaluate Sodium Oxybate (Xyrem) on Potential Endocrine Changes | Completed | UCB Pharma SA | Phase 4 | 2006-04-01 | To monitor for endocrine changes in response to treatment of cataplexy with Xyrem, to focus on the hypothalamic pituitary axis and to confirm the safety of Xyrem on potential endocrine changes. |
