Trial Outcomes & Findings for Characterizing and Predicting Drug Effects on Cognition (NCT NCT01889602)

NCT ID: NCT01889602

Last Updated: 2019-12-17

Results Overview

Study has 3 arms (100mg, 150mg, or 200mg topiramate) and 3 periods per arm (topiramate, 2mg lorazepam, or placebo). Topiramate (TPM), Lorazepam (LZP), or Placebo (PLA) was given to the participant at the beginning of Sessions 2, 3, and 4 (crossover design). No drug was given at Sessions 1 and 5. The baseline value was defined as the average of the values at Session 1 and Session 5. The change from baseline for Topiramate is the value at 2.5 hours post-dose at the Topiramate visit minus the value at baseline, divided by the value at baseline; similarly for Lorazepam and Placebo.
