Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Rho-kinase Inhibitor (Fasudil) in the Treatment of Raynaud's Phenomenon (NCT NCT00498615)

NCT ID: NCT00498615

Last Updated: 2014-11-04

Results Overview

The time to recover 50% of the drop from baseline (prechallenge) skin temperature was derived for each subject for each cold challenge. After each of 3 study interventions received by each participant. Each participant received Fasudil 4o mg, 80 mg and placebo in a randomized sequence blinded to the participant and researchers.

Measure
Sequence 1
Subjects received a single dose of Fasudil 80 mg at treatment period 1. At treatment period 2 they will received a single dose of Fasudil 40 mg and at treatment period 3 they received a single dose of placebo. A washout interval of at least 24 hours and no more than 7 days will be maintained between treatment periods.
Sequence 2
Subjects received a single dose of Fasudil 40 mg at treatment period 1. At treatment period 2 they will received a single dose of Fasudil 80 mg and at treatment period 3 they received a single dose of placebo. A washout interval of at least 24 hours and no more than 7 days will be maintained between treatment periods
Sequence 3
Subjects received a single dose of Fasudil 80 mg at treatment period 1. At treatment period 2 they will received a single dose of placebo and at treatment period 3 they received a single dose of Fasudil 40 mg. A washout interval of at least 24 hours and no more than 7 days will be maintained between treatment periods
Sequence 4
Subjects received a single dose of placebo at treatment period 1. At treatment period 2 they will received a single dose of Fasudil 40 mg and at treatment period 3 they received a single dose of Fasudil 80 mg. A washout interval of at least 24 hours and no more than 7 days will be maintained between treatment periods
Sequence 5
Subjects received a single dose of Fasudil 40 mg at treatment period 1. At treatment period 2 they will received a single dose of placebo and at treatment period 3 they received a single dose of Fasudil 80 mg. A washout interval of at least 24 hours and no more than 7 days will be maintained between treatment periods
Sequence 6
Subjects received a single dose of placebo at treatment period 1. At treatment period 2 they will received a single dose of Fasudil 80 mg and at treatment period 3 they received a single dose of Fasudil 40 mg. A washout interval of at least 24 hours and no more than 7 days will be maintained between treatment periods

Measure
3 Period Crossover Study ( All Participants)
n=17 Participants
This is a single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, 3-period crossover study of oral fasudil (40 mg or 80 mg) or placebo administered 2 hours before a standardized cold challenge. Men and women between ages 18-80 years with a clinical diagnosis of RP secondary to SSc were eligible for the study.
