Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of NUEDEXTA capsules containing 20 mg DM (Dextromethorphan)/10 mg Q (Quinidine) for treatment of Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA) in patients with prevalent conditions such as dementia, stroke, and traumatic brain injury (TBI)over a 12 week period.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This will be an Open-label, Multicenter, study in patients with PBA and dementia, stroke or TBI. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of PBA and who meet all other inclusion and exclusion criteria will be eligible to participate and receive NUEDEXTA for 12 weeks.

Males and females patients with a minimum age of 18 years, a clinical diagnosis of Pseudobulbar Affect and a documented diagnosis of neurologic disease or brain injury, will be enrolled in this study.

The primary effectiveness endpoint is the mean change in the Center for Neurologic Study-Lability scale (CNS-LS). Secondary objectives include measures to evaluate treatment outcomes.
