Trial Outcomes & Findings for Controlled Trial of 3,4-Diaminopyridine (3-4DAP) in Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) (NCT NCT02090725)

NCT ID: NCT02090725

Last Updated: 2019-05-21

Results Overview

Muscle weakness will be assessed monthly for the first 3 months based on clinical assessment during office visits. Muscle weakness will then be assessed every 6 months once the patient is stabilized based on clinical assessments during office visits. The assessment of whether there was an improvement in muscle weakness, based on the PI's clinical judgment, was noted during the last study visit completed by the participant.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Participants were followed until they withdrew or the study ended. Time frame ranged from 1 month to 3 years.

Population: One participant was not on the study long enough to complete the one month assessment.

Muscle weakness will be assessed monthly for the first 3 months based on clinical assessment during office visits. Muscle weakness will then be assessed every 6 months once the patient is stabilized based on clinical assessments during office visits. The assessment of whether there was an improvement in muscle weakness, based on the PI's clinical judgment, was noted during the last study visit completed by the participant.
