Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Clinical Trial of Dantrolene Sodium in Pediatric and Adult Patients With Wolfram Syndrome (NCT NCT02829268)
NCT ID: NCT02829268
Last Updated: 2024-03-13
Results Overview
The investigators assess the safety and tolerability of dantrolene sodium administered orally at upper end of therapeutic dose range for 6 months in patients with Wolfram syndrome. More specifically, the investigators perform liver function tests to check the levels of certain enzymes and proteins in participants' blood. Levels that are higher or lower than normal can indicate liver problems. The liver function tests include: Alanine transaminase (ALT), Aspartate transaminase (AST), Alkaline Phosphatase (AP), and bilirubin.

dantrolene sodium: The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of dantrolene sodium in patients with Wolfram syndrome. In addition, we will assess the efficacy of dantrolene sodium on the cardinal manifestations of Wolfram syndrome, including visual acuity, remaining beta cell functions, and neurological functions.
There is a screening period up to 56 days, a 6-month treatment period with an optional extension phase up to 24 months, and a 4-week safety follow-up period. Study assessments include medical \& medication history, physical exams, neurological exams, eye exams, endocrine exams, vital signs, height, weight, electrocardiograms, blood and urine tests, pregnancy test if applicable, and questionnaires.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 6 monthsThe investigators determine the effect of dantrolene sodium on residual beta cell functions. The investigators monitor base-line C-peptide levels in participants' blood. The investigators also monitor C-peptide levels in participant's blood during the oral mixed meal tolerance test. The night before the oral mixed meal tolerance test, the participants will turn their insulin pump basal rate to 50% of the normal rate at midnight or take half of their evening dose of Lantus insulin and fasted from midnight until the test at 8 a.m. The mixed meal consists of 6 ml/kg (maximum 360 ml) of Boost Original (Société des Produits Nestlé S.A., Vevey, Switzerland). Blood for glucose and C-peptide measurement will be drawn at time 0 (fasting) and 30 minutes after the Boost. If a subject's fasting glucose exceeds 11.1 mmol/l, the test will not be performed, but fasting glucose and C-peptide will be obtained.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 6 monthsChanges in Visual Functioning in participants assessed by Visual Functioning Questionnaire-25. The Visual Functioning Questionnaire-25 (VFQ-25) is divided into several subdomains, each assessing a specific aspect of visual functioning and its impact on an individual's life. There are a total of 11 subdomains in the VFQ-25. To calculate the total score on the VFQ-25, we follow these steps: 1. Calculate Subdomain Scores, 2. Weighted Sum 3. Calculate Total Score VFQ-25 provides scores that range from 0 to 100. The total score represents the overall impact of visual functioning on the individual's quality of life, with higher scores indicating better quality of life and less impact from vision problems.

Timeframe: 6 monthsNeurological functions are assessed by the Wolfram Unified Rating Scale (WURS). The WURS is divided into the following subscales: Physical Assessment and Behavioral Assessment. Physical Assessment (34 items rated on a scale from 0 = no symptoms to 4 = highest severity, minimum: 0, Maximum: 136) and Behavioral Assessment (9 items rated on frequency and severity from 0 = normal behavior to 3 = highest severity, Minimum: 0, Maximum: 27). Subscale scores are summed to calculate the total scores (minimum: 0, Maximum: 163). Higher total scores indicate more severe neurological manifestations.
